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

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.

I’m not sure if the make of car is the issue. I had an iPhone 7, and upgraded to iPhone 11, and my car is a 2020 Nissan Rogue. It work fine either the 7, but when I switched to the 11, and the iOS upgraded, Siri no longer asks me to reply in CarPlay. I must hit reply on the console screen to reply to a text. It seems to be the iOS version 17.2 which is the problem

2022 Lexus NX. I have done every update and followed every suggested fix with no change. I have been unable to reply to a text through CarPlay since mid-October. I reported it to Lexus multiple times. This is my 3rd Lexus. My first two didn’t have CarPlay, they had the Lexus system. I was so excited to have CarPlay and now this for over 4 months and no resolution.

mine is Toyota Corolla 2022 - sounds like could be a toyota thing? (they own Lexus don't they?). The update to 17.4 seems to have dropped the "what do you want" but hasn't stopped siri shorting out when reading out my reply. Also that "no volume drop in music" when reading messages - irritating as **** - I have to keep a pausing the music just to hear my messages :(

was so hoping 17.4 would fix all of this - sadly not

I would hope that is not true of Lexus posting falsely. Nonetheless, if the same problem is happening with different cars and different companies - the only thing in common is Apple. I am not trying to throw Apple under the bus, just problem-solve and come to a logical conclusion. It seems to be quite specific to certain companies and/or models. Otherwise, this would be a widely talked about issue if every car had the same issue with ios 17.0+.


I do think it is important to let the manufacturers know, so they can also communicate these issues with Apple.


So far I have seen posts regarding Hyundai, Toyota, Lexus, and Nissan. Has anyone seen any other companies?
