The one unsafe thing in car play for me is the tiny stupid UI element needed to switch betweeen voice directions/alerts only/silent/.

I will quite often want to switch modes while on a long journey - full directions while driving on backstreets, alerts only while on motorways.

Have yet to find the Siri command to switch between them. Anyone know of one?

I mostly use Waze for navigation. And the alerts button setting is pretty small. However I find that just having it on alerts is enough for day to day use.

It’s true that for new routes I do enable the full guided voice assist

i don’t use it enough to know, but i think the UI varies a little between vehicles and models, so it may not be in the same spot for everyone-- or even look exactly the same.

as for a Siri command, you may try something like, “Set my notifications to…” or something like that.
