Carplay - Siri doesn't have access to location services for weather

Hey, while asking siri for info on the weather it prompted me to give access to my location in order to give my local weather, but I pressed the wrong button and selected do not allow.


I can't seem to find where this can be changed or updated via Carplay's settings or my iPhone's, any. idea where this can be changed?

Figured out the issue, it was a matter of getting Siri's Location settings updated.


Privacy & Security > Location Services > Siri > While Using the App (was set to Never)


Strange as I've never had issues with Siri and asking about the weather before, it's like when I connected it to CarPlay it prompted those permission to get rechecked and I slipped when confirming them. Digging around CarPlay's options on the phone, CarPlay's settings in-car, Siri's setting on the phone, the Weather settings for privacy/location etc. Just was looking in the wrong spot.

Thanks for the quick reply, my Weather > Location settings were still set to 'Always', Precise Location also ticked on.


I feel like CarPlay made an independant decision of this that I'm not sure how to change, potentially it's something to do with Siri having access to Location settings instead, but I can't spot anything unticked there.
