Mazda Tribute This low-priced SUV allows the driver the versatility of an SUV without the big fuel bill of many of the vehicles in the SUV class.

Does anyone use Carplay or Android Auto? I can hear calls and music from outside.

Didn't notice before since I was always inside the car, but I noticed the volume is a bit loud from the outside and decided to do something testing. This is a big privacy concern if you don't want people listening to your calls.

Anyway, if you have a smart stereo where you can connect your phone and it plays through the speakers, try it out:
Have someone inside the car, that's connected to the stereo, call you while you're standing outside.

Even with all the doors and windows closed, I could hear myself amplified through the car speakers from the outside. It seems like I can hear the calls clearer outside than inside, which is crazy since there aren't any outward facing speakers... are there?
I'm using a Sony XAV-AX1000 unit connected to Apple Carplay.
