Hello!

When trying to talk to text on CarPlay Siri would trip out, as if it were receiving a bunch of concurrent audio inputs.

When I tried to video the issue with my phone it worked perfectly. My guess is when videoing the video app was now using my phones mic so it wasn't available for CarPlay and it only received audio input from the car microphone.

It's weird because other voice commands and phone calls work just fine.

This also happens on every iPhone we connect.

My guess is there's some bug where the phone's microphone isn't being shut off properly when plugged in for CarPlay.

I reformatted the Alpine iLX-W670 radio and updated firmware.
Got new authentic Apple cable

Not sure what else to try.

I'm having the exact same problem with the Alpine iLX-W670. It seems to work with most functions (bringing up maps, making calls, etc.) except texts. When I try send a text ("Siri, send text message to Bleah Bleah"), Siri can hear itself talking - several times my wife has got a message that says "What would you like to say" or it's just blank. Tried two different phones (both iPhone 16 Pro) with iOS 18.2.1.
