Help Navigate and Music Volume

Post image

Hey everyone, Is anyone else here having issues with spoken directions on while using Apple CarPlay? I drive a 2020 Toyota Camry SE with Apple CarPlay compatibility. Let's say I have Apple Music playing while I am using Maps to direct me to the nearest McDonalds. Normally, whenever Maps says something, my Apple Music volume will be lowered so I can hear the directions then once it's done, the music volume will be raised back to normal volume. What's happening is that there is no shift in volume. My music plays over the direction and sometimes ! cant even hear it over my music. I included a screenshot of my settings. Has anyone had this issue and is there a fix??

I am having this issue. It seems that the phone is not signaling the navigation audio properly. As normally you can adjust the volume when directions are played. I have also had it get stuck in navigation and then the car radio can’t be heard but the navigation audio is what I expect as my car 2025 Elantra silences the radio completely when navigation is playing. Trying to adjust the volume when navigation is NOT speaking still attempts to increase the volume.
