ios 26.1 siri not working in carplay

Last night, I updated to iOS 26.1. This morning, trying to get CarPlay connected was an extreme challenge, but I managed to get connected. Once connected, absolutely nothing with Siri would work. There is no voice recognition option available. It just doesn’t respond at all. I have rebooted the head unit in the car as well as my phone. I have disconnected the phone from the car and remove CarPlay from the phone and re-added everything to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to fix this. The problem has only existed since upgrading to iOS 26.1.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26
