How do you expect to use a nav system while driving without voice control?

[drusepth]

Before you start driving, at stop lights, while waiting in lines, etc.

I don't know how it works on CarPlay but when I turn my car on I have a bunch of suggested addresses (home, work, parents, recent Maps searches, etc) that I just touch-to-go. Having to use voice every time you want to navigate not only sounds unnecessary, but cumbersome.

[geden]

Oh so exactly like Apple Maps via Carplay then.

[yunwal]

Yep, shouldn't require Siri at all

[geden]

It doesn't.

[doikor]

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.

[intrikate]

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.

[koolala]

Never enabled it or never disabled it? Do you remember disabling it?

[TylerE]

Never enabled it. I always explicitly skip the "Setup/Enable siri" step on every update.

[00kevn]

No sense of adventure

You don’t need to enable Gemini or voice assistant on android to use android auto. Some functionality is lost, of course, but you can still navigate and play music.

[wuliwong]

I almost never use Siri in my car and use a "nav system" every time I am driving.

[az_reth]

I set it before I start moving, and then don't touch it while in motion.

[adastra22]

I never use Siri when using CarPlay? I’m confused by your question.

[aorloff]

If you disable Siri, you cannot connect to Carplay

[adastra22]

Not disabled. I just never use Siri.

[artursapek]

I use Carplay all the time and I didn't even realize it has voice control. I just set things up on my phone and drive.

[c1sc0]

DIt disn’t even occur to me that I need voice control. Stop car. Enter destination. Drive. How hard is that?

[Klayy]

Good luck telling Siri to drive to Hronská Breznica. Outside of English speaking countries voice control is very hit and miss (mostly miss)
