No one here knows what or when or even if Apple might plan to release updates.


Your footer here shows iOS 16, which is three years old.


To confirm (if you’re really on iOS 26, not iOS 16), you have updated to iOS 26.1, and have both un-paired the iPhone from the infotainment system, and have un-paired the infotainment system from the iPhone, have restarted both the infotainment system, and the iPhone, and re-paired, and that’s not working?


Also check for firmware updates for the infotainment system.
