I'm glad I found this thread. I thought it was just me. Both my Jeep and my VW muted the radio when using Siri. This seems to be a very basic expectation overlooked by Toyota.
This drives me nuts
Me. Too.

have the 2024 1958 version and this was an upgrade from the 2020 4Runner, in which apple car play was awesome.
incoming txt now can barley be heard and I can not find where to turn up the volume or make the music mute while sending or listening to a txt.
please advise if there is a fix or how to get with Toyota.

I have found if I use CarPlay via a wired connection, the behavior is what I’m used to (music pauses or is muted when appropriate). It’s a bit of a hassle because it always defaults back to the wireless connection when you first get into the vehicle.
So you're saying, after starting the car and the wireless connection automatically connects, you then connect your phone via USB, and it works as we want or is there another step after connecting the USB cable like changing something in Settings? If the latter, and it needs to be done every time you start the car, that sucks.
I had same revelation with Android Auto...at first I was eager to use it wirelessly, as this was first vehicle I've owned that supported that, but found it's not quite ready for prime time and a bit glitchy.
I was at least able to Google how to disable wireless AA from within my phone settings (it's hidden behind some developer options), which I prefer, as now it only launches AA if I plug the phone in...not sure if there's a similar solution to disable wireless Car Play through the iPhone?
We have a RAV4 Prime as well and I’m not too impressed with its infotainment system. It glitches fairly often and sometimes it’ll freeze up completely and the only way to fix it is to totally power down the car. The infotainment is definitely a minus.

It’s not always consistent. The most successful path I’ve found is letting it connect wirelessly, then turn off WiFi on my phone, followed by connecting via USB.
I’ve also selected “forget network” on my phone to keep the WiFi from connecting permanently with the system, but it always comes back.
I wonder if the Toyota app is adding it back.
I bet there's a way an automation could be used with Apple's Shortcut app to accomplish that, or get close. I'm not an expert with it, but I have an automation that pauses music when the phone connects to the car (because I always forget to pause it when leaving the car). It's fairly robust in what it can do, but some basic, programming logic is involved.
I’m so glad to have found this forum. I could’ve sworn I was the only brand new LC owner with this issue. It’s ridiculous to pay crazy money for a vehicle. Only for “CarPlay safety,” to be garbage. It defeats the whole CarPlay purpose. Toyotas app is total garbage as well.
