Put in the destination before start driving?

CarPlay does not work at all if you have not enabled Siri. As in it won’t even connect.

Since when? I've used Carplay for years and I've NEVER had Siri enabled. I despise voice control.

  • I purchased an iPhone 15 a few months ago and ended up making this discovery myself. CarPlay would refuse to launch unless I enabled Siri. I didn't do any of the Siri setup, or anything but the app would hard refuse to launch unless I went and toggled on Siri. Maybe that's different depending on your make/model, or the specific infotainment system in your car, but in my '21 Kia Forte, Siri is a very hard requirement.
