I had a run out today and encountered issues with the voice instructions.
My phone is an iPhone 15 Pro Max, running iOS 18.01. IPhone is connected to a Cardo Packtalk Bold running the latest firmware. Phone is also connected to a Chinese AIO-5 Lite. There are no other devices or connections involved. MRA is version 4.3.1(336)
When I set off my instructions were coming through at an acceptable volume, but only if my music was playing (Apple Music or Spotify, didn’t matter which). If I stopped the music then every time an instruction should have been spoken I simply got “Mobile phone disconnected” followed by “mobile phone connected” from the Cardo. If I started playing music again all instructions came through loud and clear.
I then stopped for food. Bike turned off, which turned off Chigee. Headset turned off. Phone left running MRA as I wasn’t stopping long.
Before setting off I turned the headset back on, and obviously started the bike which started the Chigee CarPlay. Music from phone was playing fine. MRA voice instructions were at a volume so low I couldn’t distinguish what was being said. In fact it was so low that at first I thought there were no instructions, but at walking speed I could just barely hear that there was a voice.
I pulled over and left engine running etc, but pulled phone out and clicked on “Play Audio Sample” in the MRA settings. The voice came through loud and clear. This fixed the instruction volume.
I later pulled in for fuel. Bike (and Chigee) off, headset left on (music paused), and phone obviously still running MRA. Phone and headset remained connected. On starting off again I had the same volume issue. Pulled over, clicked “Play Audio Sample” again and it fixed it again.
This sounds like a bug to me as no changes were made to any settings, no reboots or anything - a simple “Play Audio Sample” fixed things.
