Siri pausing Maps directions on iPhone 14 connected to car bluetooth

Like the tittle, Siri stops giving directions in middle of sentence.

Connected to car bluetooth and listening also Spotify.

Pauses spotify, then starts giving directions. Then stop in middle of sentence, quiet time for lets say 3-7 seconds. Music/Podcast continues.

Also seems no change if Siri is speaking in Finnish or English.

Starting to be annoying to try get somewhere.

Done some testing. Seems to have the issue only wiht Podcast (Apple podcasts and Spotify both so far)

with settign on Maps-app Directions Pause Spoken Audio.

Issue occurs only with connected to car Bluetooth radioa.

In this case, Toyota T27 Avensis 2010.

Issue does not happen with Directions Pause Spoken Audio turned off. Or with if not connected to bluetooth audio in the car.

Tested in same run same, joggling on/off and testing with/without Bluetooth on the Maps direction route.

Everytime connected to car audioa and having the feature on cuts off sound after 3 seconds. Then pause, and continue podcast afer 4-6 seconds.

Interesting :)

But in my memory it did work couple of months ago. Or then I just haven't used Podcasts before and notices only just now.. Cannot be sure.

Siri requires an active internet connection to provide directions in Maps and to play music that has not been downloaded onto your iPhone. If you notice that Siri pauses and resumes frequently while performing these tasks, it is likely due to intermittent internet connectivity. This situation often occurs while driving, as your mobile device constantly tries to connect to the nearest cell tower to maintain internet access. As your vehicle moves through areas with varying signal strength or tower availability, the device may temporarily lose or experience degraded connectivity, causing interruptions in Siri's functionality.

Sadly that cannot be the case.

I have very clear connection, 5G and all.

And its in every single time it starts talking. Same this with very low speed on central city where connectivity is the best. Even when approaching the lights and stopping, is not based on SBTS tower or they're antennas in here...

This happens every single time Siri speaks directions in car. This cannot be bad luck every time that it has little connection out pretty much in same timeline of the speech.
