I swear iOS 26 CarPlay sounds incredibly better. It has a deeper bass sound and all around more balanced sound. Some of the new features are cool too, you can swipe left or right to get to maps and add widgets like weather, maps, calendar, YouTube and more.

 

They could have made some audio adjustments for sure!

I am looking forward to Spotify Lossless coming out soon, hoping for a nicer streaming experience in car.
