Default iOS 26 CarPlay Updates

Updated to iOS 26 yesterday and I just saw a few changes to CarPlay like widgets, and an extra button on the left side, unified app changes, etc. More here for an explanation on all new features.

It looks like a good update.

Looks like the Chik-fil-A icon on your display. How does that interact with iOS 26? Do you place online orders from the vehicle with that? Love Chik-fil-A, definitely could use something like that.

I’ve actually used it to order a few times, and it works great because it gives me updates and lets the restaurant know when I’m on my way.

What’s interesting is the small screen (on my 2020) doesn’t do the widgets with the update - I’ve tried.

I have the small screen on my 23 and I get 1 widget at a time. I can't make 2 stacks, but I can get a widget to show

Really. Interesting. Hmmm

Wonder if it’s a setting. I have widgets on my phone screen, I figured they’d show up on this.

Are you sure you have scrolled far enough to the left? It's a new carplay screen
