iOS 26.4 Adds Two New Features to CarPlay

I still want weather radar for CarPlay. Ideally integrated with navigation.

I was driving north thru Kentucky & Indiana a few weeks back. Worried about tornadoes with a big storm front, I pulled over and found MyRadar app. Seemed helpful. Listening to XM radio, I don't think you get the alerts you would from a local radio station? (I don't usually drive a CarPlay vehicle, so a bit of a newbie)

Oh a Siri chatbot that is years behind Gemini or ChatGPT. Thank Jesus!…

MyRadarPro has a myRoute function for this. The weather, radar, et cetera, follows you during your drive. The phone app shows weather where you are presently.

It's a useless update to carplay as I have 'lost' my main apps! Audible and Google Maps no longer show and can't be added! Why take them away?

any updates from Subaru users about whether 26.4 brings back 3 rows of icons to us vertical display Subaru owners?

I've updated & it all looks the same.... I don't even see ChatGPT as an app or a widget. Maybe some day...

Edit: oops! as for ChatGPT, you are only allowed 5 widgets, so I deleted one then added ChatGPT. Duh.

Finally there’s something to give us refuge from Siri’s ineptitude.

Have you tried deleting the car and repairing?

Yes three times.
