Re: Setting Voiceover To Speak When Connected To Vehicle's Bluetooth

2021-03-10 Thread Mike B 
Hi Richard, Simon & Mr. Ed,

Okay, my wife and I spent almost 1 and 1 half hours on the phone with Apple 
accessibility and we never did get the issue fixed, so to speak.  We can get
Siri to read the driving directions but, we can't make the setting stick. 
So, everytime we want to use audio driving directions we will have to go 
into
the control center to set it to, iPhone, or we can turn bluetooth off so the 
phone doesn't connect to the vehicles navigation system.  I don't know what 
update changed how this worked, but it was 14dot something.  I've read about 
connecting the phone via a USB / lighting cable but, that's a long way 
around correcting something Apple screwed up.  We do have work arounds and 
the audio destination on the rotor doesn't do any good since Voiceover won't 
speak once the phone connects to the vehicle's bluetooth.  I've shown my 
better half how to make Siri read the driving directions when I'm not with 
her, but when I'm with her we just use my phone since I don't have my phone 
set to connect via bluetooth to either of our vehicles.

After thinking about it a little bit, this could also be something that 
Toyota did when updating the navigation system software, but according to 
research not likely.  Anyways I'm just glad we do have ways around the 
issue.  My wife absolutely will not take her eyes off the road to read a 
map, and with the crazy ass drivers out there I don't blame her in the least 
bit.  Thank you guys very much for your input.






Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Mike,

I have only dealt with this a couple times a few years ago in rental cars, 
but have you tried the trick of flicking up with two fingers on the iPhone 
screen and then tapping the volume up?

It could be doing that annoying thing where the volume goes too low.



I guess to also make sure that Siri is set to give feedback all the time?



This sounds beyond annoying.

Hi All,



My wife is running an SE 2020 phone with iOS 14.4.1.  I don't know when this 
happened, but before when she was driving with the phone connected to any of 
our vehicles bluetooth system she could ask Siri for driving directions and 
they were spoken through the phone instead of the car stereo.  Right now 
once the phone connects to the vehicles bluetooth I can't get Voiceover to 
speak and it's definitely activated.  The phone is not muted but, I just 
don't know where to turn at this point to get the driving directions back to 
speaking through the phone.



Will someone please give me steps on how to get the audio driving directions 
back?  All help is greatly appreciated and graciously accepted!  Thanks mooy 
moocho.






Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

RE: Setting Voiceover To Speak When Connected To Vehicle's Bluetooth

2021-03-10 Thread Mr. Ed 
Hi Mike,

I know what you are talking about as my wife had the same issue. You have to 
have your wife’s iPhone connected by wire to the car to make it speak through 
the car speaker. It will not speak when connected by Bluetooth. I can get my 
iPhone to speak through my iPhone but I do not have my iPhone Bluetooth to the 
car. I had my iPhone connected to the car by Bluetooth and my iPhone would not 
speak through my iPhone speaker and it also messed up VO. If I disconnected it 
from being Bluetooth to the car my iPhone VO worked fine and my iPhone sound 
came out my iPhone speaker giving the driving instructions.   I believe you 
have two choices to make the iPhone speak when doing driving. 1. You have to 
have the iPhone connected by wire to the car for it to speak and it will come 
out the speakers on the car. 2. You can have the info come out of the iPhone 
but you cannot have it connected to the car by Bluetooth for this to work. This 
is what I have figured out so far. If you figure out otherwise let me know.

Mr. Ed

RE: Setting Voiceover To Speak When Connected To Vehicle's Bluetooth

2021-03-10 Thread Simon A Fogarty 
Is your cars Bluetooth on?

Have you tried forgetting the connection and re connecting?

And there is also the audio direction or what ever the feature is on the rota 
that allows you to flick between phone or Bluetooth etc.
