So I never had any CarPlay issues until today. But I don’t have wireless CarPlay in my Polestar 2 - it’s wired only. But now that don’t work. Hahaha

I believe that is intentional to make it look like shimmering glass effect. Not really seeing how so many are so twerked about it though. It's takes maybe 1/2 of a second and really doesn't harm anything. I actually like it myself. I use dark icons so it looks as I described. Maybe tinted or "clear" has a different effect that drives folks mad.
For me, it’s not the shimmering effect as you say that is an issue, it’s that it’s gone during the minimize/zoom out animation and then appears - I find this a bit eh, like why not make it persistent because the it’s gone and then it’s back again doesn’t look great.I believe that is intentional to make it look like shimmering glass effect.

However, there are far bigger cosmetic/visual bugs I hope Apple is focusing on and not this one.
The jankiness that is the mail app, I hope they’re focusing on fixing the bouncing around of the UI elements.
It does look like the icons are in the cross hairs.
Technically they didn’t. It’s not shipped yet, it’s a beta. Beta has bugs, and those in the beta find them. But a beta doesn’t ship, that’s the main releases.
Was out and about earlier today after updating to 26.1DP3. CarPlay worked flawlessly for me - music (Apple Music and SiriusXM app), maps (Apple Maps) and phone while connected via wireless CarPlay to my 2025 Ford Bronco Sport (SYNC4).

And then there's folks like me that have been a MacRumors member for over 15 years ... and have no idea what the 'icon redraw' problem is. Either I don't experience it, or it's so minor I've never noticed it, or it's something I don't have any particular feeling about.
Hope whatever it is gets fixed for you.
fwiw, wireless CarPlay worked perfectly for me today after upgrade to b3. Did you try rebooting your phone to see if CarPlay started behaving again?
Not sure what OS you're sharing there, but, by definition, betas will have known bugs and incomplete pieces of work. It's not a production ready piece of software.
Swiping between home screen/widget page/App Library is still incredibly janky.
My Schlage Encode Plus and my RATGDO garage opener disappeared from Home app which I discovered when I couldn’t open garage door from the car.
They are not on the app Home Screen but if I try to add them, I get an error that the device has already been added.

I had this problem during a few 18 betas. Be sure to submit a bug report.
Not quite.
Using MR as an example, if I typed “macrumors” into a new tab, the progress bar will start, but never load the page or go past say, 1/8th complete.
If I pull up the address bar again and type macrumors into it again, it loads instantly.
That makes sense, I'm sure they're focusing primarily on fixing the major bugs and then making it secure enough for the public release
And yet I’m also in the 15 year club and have a video of it occurring literally almost daily, especially when I had my 15PM.

I think the fact that Feedback Assistant shows the issue as having “more than 10” reports indicates a lot of users are affected and have submitted complaints. And, on essentially every platform, Macrumors, Reddit, etc. it’s the most commonly mentioned issue. Seems significant to me.
I don’t see this on mine, either, and I’m part of the… holy crap 19 year club. God I’m old.
Not to say it’s not happening, just that bugs like this can be hard to fix if it’s not a commonly reported issue.
No issues with my wired CarPlay setup with iPhone 15. Perhaps try a new cable, hard reset of your iPhone or an IPSW installation on top of your existing one?
Guys, Wallet icon under Location Services is back!!!!
Inform that one person!

What would removing this even do? Someone brave enough to try?
It doesn’t do anything. I’m guessing you can only remove purely security updates in the future and not full iOS installation.
...its like Zollo's continuous wallpaper bug not fixed - to be honest I don't even see the wallpaper dimming at all going from lockscreen to homescreen at all, and if.. I don't think I care if there is a slight difference in brightness...
no issues here, wired in a Ford (Sync3) and wireless in a BMW (iDrive7) 🤷♂️
My bug report shows “less than 10.”
Maybe it was because I titled mine “Folder Icons Are Physically Upsetting.”
