    CarPlay No Siri Voice from CarPlay

    Starting in iOS 18 (I think) if when using CarPlay and I say "Siri, what temperature is it?" CarPlay will display a weather banner but Siri will not voice the response.

    Did iOS 26 add fast forward support for steering wheel buttons?

    I just noticed that I can suddenly click-and-hold to fast forward songs using my steering wheel controls on my 2019 Honda Civic. This wasn’t possible before. Is this a new feature in iOS 26, or did something else change on my setup? I do not recall seeing this anywhere

    CarPlay Shortcut

    I saw the shortcut code below online for access to CarPlay. Problem is, it only takes you to the selection screen where CarPlay is located. What can I add to the code below so it takes me directly to the list on cars - which is the screen after CarPlay is chosen. prefs:root=General&Path=CARPLAY

    Did I hallucinate a feature?

    So back in iOS 17 when I had an iPhone 14 pro, one day I was driving and Siri announced via CarPlay that my wife had sent me a picture "and the picture is of a child standing next to a dog." I remember being kind of surprised because I didn't remember reading about that. It kept happening for...
