Shortcuts Bypass driving restrictions.

Is there a way to code a shortcut to perform a function while connected to CarPlay.

Im trying to set it to open a google sheet and sams club apps while parked to record specs after refueling and dispite being parked and not moving Siri stops the shortcut thinking I’m driving.

I know I could just swipe down a tap a button but if there’s a way to bypass this I would like to know.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Is there a way to get an app added to CarPlay? Hi I am a pilot and have tried a few hud ( headsup display) units to use while flying. I want to fly like a jet fighter pilot does.. we us Flyskyhy or see you navigator apps and neither of them are on carplay :( all the hud units use carplay only. Is there any way to get either of these apps added to the carplay app options area?? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iOS 26 CarPlay confusing UI/UX In iOS 26, Apple CarPlay Maps, the currently focused button is grey, while other buttons (not focused/hovered/selected) are blue. Read this again: it is grey for active, blue for inactive. Every time I try to select a route, I end up missing the right button. And since many cars lock their touchscreen while driving over 5 mph, you’re forced to use steering wheel or console controls like the dial knob in Mazda/Audi/BMW. So when a route suggestion pops up, pressing “OK/Enter” doesn’t confirm it - it kicks you back instead of starting navigation. So there are two issues: Colors/styles for the focused button. Grey colour is definitely no go for the currently focused button. The default behaviour has changed. In older iOS, the 'start' button was focused by default, in the latest iOS, the 'back' button is focused. This distracts me from day 1 after updating to iOS 26. Also, my thread in Threads got more than 800 likes, and it confirms a similar experience from other users. I'd really like to bring this issue to Apple Developers, as it actually distracts users while driving and puts a higher risk for a car incident. Also, the styling issue is not specific to an app. It happens in all CarPlay apps. Even in Google Maps, a focused button becomes grey while non-focused is blue, which is the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen.

CarPlay issue since 26.2.1 update CarPlay has not worked since the IOS 26.2.1 update. I have a 16 plus, and before the update, I used the cable, and CarPlay would be on the list to choose from. When the problem started, I followed directions to forget Carplay in order to re-establish it. Now the spooling circle continues without CarPlay finding my car, 2025 Mazda CX-5. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
