Apple Car play/Bluetooth

I just upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro max and ever since everyone complains they can barely hear me on CarPlay as if I’m whispering and on Bluetooth they say it’s louder but sounds like I’m in a wind tunnel and still difficult to hear. I am very disappointed as I had no trouble at all a few days ago on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It’s obviously an issue with the new phone/iOS but what can I do about it? I already played around with all the settings/volumes I could find.

As far as today and since last Wednesday, this solution seems to work for me. I’ll see if it still does in an hour when I’ll take my car.

go to your car dealer and ask for a factory reset of the entertainment system.

mon your iPhone, forget the car associated in car play and Bluetooth settings.

restart your iPhone.

when factory reset of the car is done, pair again your phone and restart the car.

I also have noticed that if your network connection in 4G 5G is poor or if you are in an underground parking, CarPlay has issues to connect.

I still have the problem on the aftermarket radio in CarPlay. It works fine and android mode. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running on iOS 16.1.

I am having this issue with a 2019 Honda Civic and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. People I have called report that they are having difficulty hearing me.

When I look at CarPlay in settings, I only see "Vehicle" display. Isn't it supposed to display the model of the car?

I have the same problem on a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. Both my 14 ProMax and my wife’s 14 ProMax sound as if we are miles away…. Very frustrating, specially when trying to use phone for business. Apple needs to fix!

i am also having the same problem with my iPhone 14. Everyone is complaining they cannot hear me when I am using CarPlay in my Mazda. Hopefully they release an update to fix this soon as I use CarPlay to talk on the phone every time I’m in it!

(1). We have 2x iPhone 14 pro max, both recently upgraded to iOS 16.0.1)

(2). Bluetooth no longer functions in our BMW X5 2022. We have tried everything - deleting phones on BMW system, entering iPhones as new devices, - nothing is working. The problem started the same day we upgraded to iOS 16.0.1). Our BMW is equipped with latest software. Moreover, until last week, prior to upgrading, these phones were working fine in the vehicle

(2). iPhone ear buds pro: one side stopped working after upgrading to latest software: the supposedly new atmos function (hold it next to your ear, move the phone around etc) - I couldn’t complete the steps and thereafter left ear bud stopped working. I have followed all reboot steps outlined by Apple, cleaned the devices, etc nothing is working.

Apple, what gives?

I have the iPhone 14 max pro and I'm having the same issue on my 2022 GMC Yukon Carplay. I tested the GMC Bluetooth with my Samsung Note 20 and confirmed the issue is the iPhone. Hopefully this issue can be resolved quickly by the apple team.
