Issue with replying to text on CarPlay with iOS 17

After listening to a text on carplay, Siri asks if I want to reply. I will then speak out a text. Siri then asks send it or change it? I'll either say send it or I'll push the button to send it... but there is no text sent. I've noticed that about 50% of the time, the reply just doesn't exist. Not only did the other person not receive it, but it isn't even on my phone as a text.


This problem only started happening to me with ios 17. What gives?


ios 17, iPhone 12 Pro Max, carplay

I’m having the same issues. Siri will read the text in CarPlay, when I respond it won’t send. She keeps sputtering and then says something like I can’t give you that info while the car is moving.

help! I use this function a lot while driving

According to my local dealer, Lexus and Apple are aware of this issue and an iOS update is expected soon.


I’ll believe it when I see it.


But I’ve discovered a workaround. After speaking to text, Siri asks if you want to send it…then we say “YES” and wait. This we get the goofy error message. The work around is, after speaking the message and after Siri asks to send it TAP THE SEND UP ARROW YOURSELF—DON’T WAIT. The message will be sent.

It’s weird. It does this strange stuff on one of my cars, 2024 Hyundai Kona but works flawlessly on my 2023 Lincoln Nautilus. iPhone 12 iOS 17.4.1

We tried multiple phones on multiple vehicles at the Hyundai dealership and they all did the same thing.

Both are wireless CarPlay.

The auto manufacturers and Apple need to play nice together. A friend of mine has an Acura that acts goofy like my Hyundai. Somebody needs to fix this. I use hands free text all the time. Now I can’t. It’ll read messages to me just fine. Just can’t send or reply.
