How To Fix Apple Intelligence Siri Not Reading Texts on CarPlay in Honda CRV

Select Language:

If you’ve recently purchased a new 2026 Honda CRV and are having trouble with Apple CarPlay not reading your incoming texts, you’re not alone. Many drivers find that Siri isn’t responding to incoming messages or allowing replies while in the car. Here’s a simple step-by-step solution to fix this issue and get Siri to read and respond to texts smoothly.

First, check your iPhone’s settings. Make sure that “Allow Messages with Siri” is enabled. You can find this by going to Settings > Messages > and ensuring “Send Read Receipts” and “Notify When Messages Are Read” are turned on. Also, verify that Siri is enabled by going to Settings > Siri & Search, and make sure “Listen for ‘Hey Siri'” and “Press Side Button for Siri” are turned on.

Next, review your CarPlay settings. Connect your iPhone to your car and go to Settings > General > CarPlay. Select your vehicle, then “Customize” and ensure that “Messages” is added to the favorites or enabled options. Sometimes, removing and re-adding your device can solve connection glitches.

Also, restart both your iPhone and your car’s infotainment system. A quick restart often clears minor bugs that may be causing the issue. Turn off your car and power down your iPhone, then turn them back on and reconnect.

Another important step is to check your Bluetooth settings. Head over to Settings > Bluetooth, find your car’s device, and tap the info icon. Make sure “Call Audio” and “Media Audio” are both enabled. Also, ensure that your iPhone’s software is up to date, as updates often fix bugs.

If Siri still isn’t reading your texts, try resetting your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords, so make sure you remember them before doing this.

Finally, ensure your Siri language and voice preferences are set correctly. Visit Settings > Siri & Search > Language and choose your preferred language. Sometimes, switching to a different language temporarily and then switching back can resolve voice recognition problems.

By following these steps, you should be able to get Siri to read your texts aloud and allow you to reply through Apple CarPlay without any trouble. If issues persist, contacting Honda or Apple support for further help might be your next best step.
