Many iPhone users are facing issue with Apple Carplay that while receiving an incoming call there is no voice sound coming out from Car audio system. The issue is spread across different iPhone and card models like Land Rover, BMW, Benz, Audi etc. The issue happens on the latest iOS 12 releases and Car audio is not working for incoming calls only. The user cannot answer inbound/incoming calls on CarPlay - only option to hear is speaker on the phone.

Apple CarPlay no sound for incoming call on car speakers with iPhone 


Incoming falls on Apple CarPlay stopped working with iOS 12 update and reported with latest iOS 12.2 versions as well. Apple Carplay works normally for all features and just not for incoming calls. When an iPhone X users receives a call and after accepting call, Audio source sets to the phone earpiece with the only option to switch to speaker.  The iPhone user is not able to receive any incoming call on Car Audio while using USB cables or USB ports in the car.

One user reported the issue

I have a Jaguar E-Pace, and having this exact same problem. I'm not sure when it happened (and what changed to cause it), but it is happening 100% of the time on incoming calls. I basically can't answer calls when driving (as per someone else's comment I'm not playing around with phone whilst driving) - this is utterly useless!! I've tried multiple USB cables and USB ports in car - same problem always happens. I'm hoping an imminent iOS update will fix the problem, as I'm sure it's not the car (that software definitely hasn't been updated to cause the issue in the first place)...”

Ive got an iPhone XR software 13.7 and the same issue. No sound with calls whether using Bluetooth or CarPlay with all settings checked and rechecked, reboot, turn on, off. You get the picture. Everything else works great, music, contacts and apps. ???
