Apple Car Play: Music volume stays loud when listening to text messages

[Frylock221]

I feel like the CarPlay experience in the Tacoma is so far from what it should be that they shouldn't be able to say it supports CarPlay. It doesn't work as it's intended and half of the time when I try to reply, the voice to text doesn't even catch what I am saying. Doesn't matter if I mute the Audio first or not, and have tried when windows are completely rolled up and it still misses the bar on text to speech. Anyone else seeing that issue? I recorded the issue using my iPad and uploaded the video to my Apple support case as well as letting them grab the logs from my iPhone. Basically trying to get them to say nothing is wrong with my phone, it's a problem with the Toyota Infotainment system so they will also look at this issue. A very poor software release by Toyota, seems like they barely even tested it before putting it out as a production release!

Funny you mentioned this because over the last 2-3 weeks I’ve noticed an increase in the issues I’ve had. Sometimes flat out not connecting, two times the screen has just been completely black except for the backup camera, forcing me to turn off the truck completely and back on to get it to come back up (holding down the volume knob does not force a restart like normal). Not incredibly happy with the experience so far.
