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.

My 2023 Land Rover Discovery also has issues with Car Play. The voice playback is now speaking French. When I try to send a text, I have no idea what it is saying. I did a test text and it translated my English spoken text into gibberish. I have a 7 hour drive coming up and hope to fix this soon. Where is the settings for Car Play? On the phone or the car? I'm so confused.
