Running iOS 14 PB6 and was curious what this new icon meant in CarPlay. FWIW, my phone was connected wirelessly to my BMW.
Got a tip for us?

I think it means you're connected to something but not fully routing. I think I've seen it before when experiencing DNS issues.

Are you using wireless carplay? If so the car and phone use the WiFi to communicate but it cant use the WiFi for internet. Got that the phone relies on its cellular connection.
As you have a BWM I am assuming this is the case. The way the WiFi works is the same on the aftermarket wireless carplay dongles. I ‘ seen the phones WiFi reflected in the carplay screen before though.

Why does the bottom left on-screen button have the grid of icons rather than allowing you to view the split-view dashboard that was introduced in iOS13?
Doesn't it switch? You can press that to go to the app launcher where it would switch to the dashboard icon to go to the dashboard.
It's a toggle...
- when the CarPlay screen is displaying the icon grid, the home button shows the dashboard view
- when the CarPlay screen is displaying the dashboard view, the home button shows the icon view
- when the CarPlay screen is displaying an app (Music, Map, etc), the home button shows the icon view
