I’ve recently updated my iPhone 13 Mini to iOS 16.2, and since then the voice used for the CarPlay (2020 VW Golf GTI) is very muffled and distant. It was crystal clear previously, now I can hardly make out what it being said.
Has anyone else experienced this, is there a fix?
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16
Hi there DJBuck118,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
If CarPlay is not working as expected, we recommend following the troubleshooting outlined in the Apple Support article If you need help with CarPlay - Apple Support. The steps are designed to target a variety of CarPlay issues, so some steps may not explicitly apply, but they can still help in your situation. Try them out, as detailed below:
If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, learn what to do.
First, make sure that your country or region supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay. If you're unsure if your car supports CarPlay, contact the vehicle manufacturer.
Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS. If your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS, follow these steps — checking CarPlay after each step:
1. Check your connection to your CarPlay stereo:
• If you have a wired connection, try connecting again with a different USB cable to a different USB port if you have one.
• If you have a wireless connection, make sure that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled under Settings > Wi-Fi and Settings > Bluetooth.
2. If CarPlay doesn't activate automatically, look for the CarPlay logo on your car's display.
3. Restart your iPhone and your car.
4. Make sure that Siri is on.
5. If your iPhone isn't detected by CarPlay, make sure that CarPlay isn't restricted. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap Allowed Apps and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
6. Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap your car, then tap Forget This Car. Then set up CarPlay again.
7. Make sure that your CarPlay stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.
If you still have issues connecting to CarPlay, contact Apple Support.
Have a great weekend!
I had the same problem with Car Play since iOS 16.2 and a Seat Leon. In particular, the first sentence of a navigation announcement could hardly be understood. Then found that the Siri voice download wasn't complete. After a few attempts, the download worked. After that, the navigation announcements were easy to understand again.
Thanks, how can you check the siri voice download?
Settings - Siri & Search - Siri Voice
If there is a tick behind the voice, everything is ok.
