Faulty voice search on Google Maps for CarPlay works after a few failed attempts
Reddit user @tn69c1935 reported that Google Maps voice search was not working properly in CarPlay and it only works again after a few failed attempts.
Any one know why ? I have an honda odyssey 2023 and the google maps voice search only works second time. I don’t think this is car specific as I had the same problem previously with my Honda CRV 2019.
I have an iPhone 14 pro max running 16.1. Not sure if it matters as the same problem used to happen with an older iphone in my CRV. I suspect this is google maps issue as apple maps does not have this issue.
As per comments on the post, the issue is widespread across multiple automobile brands and is related to Google Maps for CarPlay.
Have this issue on both my Mercedes C300 and Hyundai SantaFe as well. @chickennuggets2704
Same on my 2019 Camry. It’s just a part of my routine now. Press the microphone. Wait a second. Press it again and speak. @ColtzNut
Other users added that it was a years-old issue.
I’ve been having this issue for well over a year now. On multiple phones and iOS versions. I always blamed iOS but I’m glad I’m not alone in this.

Crazy that they have not resolved this in last 4 years. @tn69c1935
