Mic not working in wired CarPlay mode

I've just had a Pioneer AppRadio 4 installed in a 2008 Honda Accord. Everything with the mic is working in Bluetooth mode, however when I switch to wired CarPlay mode - the mic stops working. There is no Siri volume, in or out. Is there a setting I'm missing on the iPhone? As I said, all works via BT, but not via wired CarPlay.

iPhone 7, iOS 10.2.1, Wired CarPlay

If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, here’s what you can check. After each step, try using CarPlay again.

Make sure that Siri is turned on.

Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you might see the CarPlay Home screen when you turn it on. If you don't, look for the CarPlay logo on your car’s display.

If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.

Try a different Lightning to USB cable. Make sure that the cable is certified.

Update to the latest version of iOS.

Check your car’s manual for help. You might need to install firmware updates for your stereo.

Best Regards.
