Shortcut for Speaker and Auto-Answer calls

My car is rather basic and can’t easily be converted to CarPlay. So when I’m driving, the iPhone goes on a stand, and in Accessibility Settings, I set it to Speaker and Auto-Answer calls. I also turn off banner notifications, especially for WhatsApp.

Is it possible to create a shortcut for some or all of these? I have tried without success.

(By the way, where I live, this is perfectly legal.)

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Shortcuts/Widget To Toggle CarPlay Button Hi! I have a suggestion regarding CarPlay, rather than a question. Please enable shortcuts to allow us to quickly toggle the CarPlay switch on or off while we're in our car. I prefer that CarPlay connects automatically whenever I start the car, but there are times when I'd like to have discreet phone conversations or watch media content on my iPhone without the audio being played on the car speakers. I usually engage in these activities when I'm not driving and the car is stationary, such as when I'm waiting for someone in a parking bay with other people in the car. However, as soon as I resume driving, I'd like to connect to CarPlay again so I can listen to Apple Music while driving. Currently, toggling the CarPlay button through the Settings/CarPlay/MyCar/CarPlay On/Off menu feels troublesome and highly inconvenient. Therefore, I kindly request that you make it available through shortcuts or even a widget. I believe many others facing the same issue would also appreciate this improvement. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

Message App missing from Carplay My Iphone 12 Pro Max running 18.2.1- I notice that my Message app has disappeared from the icons on my Apple Car play screen. When I try to use Siri to text someone in Carplay Siri tells me I need to dowload an app to perform this request. Under Settings- General- Carplay- Customize- the Message app is not there to enable. A lot of apps are showing but not the Message app- Any ideas on how to restore the app to Carplay?

CarPlay text messages only popping up with CarPlay up iOS 18.1.1 (iPhone 16 Pro Max) 2021 Jeep Gladiator with CarPlay My old iPhone 13 Pro Max would have text message notification popups when I had the Media/SXM screen up. Now with the new phone, the notifications only pop up when I have the CarPlay screen up. I have tried Announce Notifications with Siri, CarPlay (both on the phone and in the vehicle), I’ve tried turning it on in Uconnect and Bluetooth. Nothing is fixing this issue. Ideas?
