    2024 Tacoma SR5
    CB Radio, Retractable Bed Cover
    I have a 2024 SR5 and while using CarPlay, the radio volume stays loud while the system messages from CarPlay are being spoken. For example, I am listening to the radio with a moderate volume and I receive an incoming text message. I press the screen so it can read the text message to me and it starts reading the text message aloud. However, the radio is still going at the volume I was listening to. In every other vehicle I have had, the radio goes silent when the CaarPlay app has something to say. Is there a setting in the Tacoma that I am unaware of to prevent this?

    I think this has been discussed before, and unfortunately I think this is how it operates. A pain in the ass, but the only way I've found to work around it short term is to either push pause or hit the radio power button (depending on the source I'm listening to) while I send or receive a text.

    You can turn the volume up WHILE the app is talking and it will turn it up. Still competes with the radio that doesn't turn down, but you can at least make it hearable.
