iOS 12 issue google maps Apple CarPlay microphone issue

2018 Hyundai Santa Fe ultimate. Siri CarPlay works with mic but mic doesn’t work on third party apps like google and Waze. Unplug CarPlay and mic works on these applications.

My 2017 Honda Civic still isn't working with the new iOS 12.1 update 😟 Still says searching and then nothing comes up. C'mon google!

I don’t see any replies to the problem you’re having. I am having the exact same problem on my Kia Sportage.

As soon as I am plug the USB cable I am able to use the microphone icon on the phone version of Google Maps and it hears me fine.

I'm surprised that a lot more people are not having this issue. So far, Honda, Acura and Kia (me). No one has replied with a solution. I have also reached out to Google through Google Maps and reported it. Nothing back yet...*****.

Ha small world .... I was thinking about doing it, probably get that out tonight. It isn't all Acura's though, we also have a 2018 TLX and it DOES work on that one. So, not sure what the issue is, if it is the car's version of carplay or something.

I was a beta tester for Waze and the developer said that the microphone feature would not be working in the initial release to the public, which seems to be the case. If I was the developer I would have at least remove the microphone icon from the CarPlay screen.

Same exact issue in my 2014 Kia soul. Glad I’m not the only one with this problem!

However, in my boyfriends Volkswagen CC the microphone works fine on Waze and Google maps. Hopefully they can fix this!

I have multiple messages in with google support and they simply don’t reply to anyone. They’re terrible! Reminds me of why I love Apple so much. If Apple updated it’s map program to work like Waze, that would be the perfect match made in heaven.

To: LJ2Cool, I have same problem of non-functioning microphone feature using Google Map App on my iPhone 8 with Apple Car Play in my 2019 Acura RDX. I have updated iOS to 12.0.1 and updated to Google Maps to Version 5.2.1. I have gone into Settings>Microphone to allow access to Google Maps. Google Map's Microphone function does work when my iPhone is unplugged from USB and not used with Apple Car Play. Any user having this problem should reply to your Comment and mention make/model of their car so that Apple can give priority to fixing this problem. MLG

During quick Internet Search today, I came across a 9/20/2018 post at Electric Vehicle Community that indicates voice recognition is working on some vehicles with Apple Car Play (but it's still not working on my 2019 Acura RDX). To those reading this thread, please reply with year, make, and model of your vehicle and indicate whether voice recognition is working when you use Google Maps or Waze with Apple Carplay. Replies will help raise visibility of this issue. Thanks.

Based on the replies on this issue It seems as though I was incorrect in my assessment that the issue is related to vehicles without touchscreens. Apple does provide a list of what is believes are compatible vehicles so if your vehicle is not on this list and third party apps do not work then unfortunately Apple is highly unlikely to pay attention to your issues. I suspect that in this situation Apple's likely response would be to suggest that you replace your vehicle with one that is on their list. However my vehicle is on the list as compatible but it is not. That is why I suggested to Apple and the NHTSA, in the interest of safety, that third party Apps be removed from CarPlay until this issue is resolved as it can lead to driver distraction resulting in collisions with subsequent injury or death.

It is now working on my 2019 RDX as well, but it does require touchpad interaction with the App for functionality - i.e. It does not seem to too work with the voice button on the steering wheel. In my opinion this was NOT a quick fix as it took many weeks to resolve it for a potentially serious safety issue. I also have not at this time received any messages or updates from Apple regarding the case I created for this issue nor any apology from Customer Relations for their errors in claiming it was a 3rd party issue and not Apple's problem despite the fact that my research strongly pointed to a CarPlay issue. Hopefully no one suffered any serious adversities while Apple was taking its sweet time to fix this issue.

I have this same problem with my 2019 Acura RDX.
