Garmin Speak Audio Restrictions Through Phone's Speaker

Important:  The Garmin Speak™ app can no longer be installed and has been replaced by the Garmin Drive™ App. To download the Garmin Drive app, visit Google Play for Android or App Store for Apple.

Garmin Speak and Garmin Speak Plus can connect with a wide array of both free and subscription-based music services, including Amazon Music, Pandora, and Sirius XM.

Due to current licensing restrictions by third-party music service providers, the Garmin Speak and Garmin Speak Plus are not allowed to play certain types of audio through your phone's speaker. If you do not have an AUX cable connected or are not connected to your vehicle via Bluetooth, the Garmin Speak device will audibly state, "I'm not allowed to play certain types of audio using your phone's speaker. Change the audio settings to use the Garmin Speak device for media or connect to your vehicle using Bluetooth technology."

For steps to change the audio settings on the Garmin Speak, refer to the device's owners' manual.
