Default Audio issue

My audio in the 2020 Defender will go silent after I use Siri to make a phone call with my iphone. The iphone is connected via bluetooth, and works fine and will play music prior the making a call using Siri. Right after the phone call ends, the audio goes out and I cannot play any music from my iphone. Even switching to radio (AM, FM or Sirius) will not change the silent audio. When this happens, the unit will not reset itself when you hold the power button down for the 15-20 seconds. When you restart the car, everything will work again.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any input or suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you.

Our 2008 LR3 used to do the exact same thing...no radio sound after a bluetooth phone call but easily fixed by a vehicle restart. Dealer could not solve it for 3 years until we got a new battery and the problem was gone forever. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the negative battery terminal. Or, have the dealer service department do it as they have a way to preserve settings you have in place.

I have an even better radio issue, yesterday the radio FM was playing while my bluetooth was playing (Spotify) I'm asking for a buy back, many other electronic issues

Patrick, is this your first Land Rover? Don't give up so easily. You will see that these are rather reliable vehicles with amazing capabilities. Given enough time, you learn to accept the odd quirks and spontaneous personality.

this would be my third land rover, my trade in was a velar that had one or two glitches, which I could deal with. it seems I got one of the truly defective defenders, problem is that there are no fault codes, I did take videos,

LoL, you didn’t get a defective Defender. It would be defective if it didn’t have problems

I also have the 110 X-Dynamic HSE with the D300 engine. Should arrive mid-Feb here in Panama. Which engine did you order?
I really hope that LR has sorted out these many software issues by the time our units arrive!

Regards

I have the same issue sometimes with Andriod Auto. I am running android auto off the Privi Pro connected to my phone. When it happens, I just say "Ok Google" and it will bring up the voice command. I then say please play a song, adn it will work again. I think what is occurring in the system doesn't recognize that the call is done.

Sorry to hear about your issues Patrick. Hopefully they are early production issues that get sorted out soon,
