Sharing here what I shared with the Sidecar community today: > hey everyone! just got off a call with Apple and while we would have loved to keep this feature in the App Store, they have requested that we remove it. In respect of that request, the Park and browse feature has been removed from Sidecar. I'll be filing a feature request to Apple for this functionality today, citing all of the community interest we've seen here, as I do believe, done safely, this feature would be an incredible feature of CarPlay for every driver. https://www.threads.net/@featherless/post/DIuCRJ2zHGV for the full post.

r/CarPlay on Reddit: New CarPlay is here — opening up 1000 seats for Sidecar TestFlight!
June 10, 2025 -
Hey CarPlay crew! We're all a-buzzin' in the Clutch Engineering Discord with the new CarPlay UX, and in celebration of this huge update I'm kicking off a "summer of TestFlight" for Sidecar. We're opening up one thousand seats today, and will add more each week. If you're already on iOS 26 and want the freshest baked Sidecar goodies, join the TestFlight here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/U63svyK6
To file and discuss bugs, please join the Discord at https://discord.gg/AdJNJqF5vC
This TestFlight includes a few big improvements to Sidecar, including the Clutch assistant, multi-stop routing, and of course, the new CarPlay design. Works for any car with CarPlay and TestFlighting gives you access to all Sidecar features for free, including unlimited OBD scanning, trip logging, vehicle data analysis, the new Clutch assistant, and range overlays.
The Sidecar crew is unbelievably excited for this update, and can't wait to build in awesome new widgets and features into CarPlay for everyone. I'm on the Apple campus this week meeting with the CarPlay, widgets, and Foundation Model teams, and the energy here is huge.
If you hop into the Discord, we're kicking off all manner of ideas for what we can do with these new widgets — come join the fun 😁
See you on the road! 🏎️💨

In a call with Apple, they requested to remove the Park and Browse feature. That is very unfortunate in my opinion. It was such a great addition to CarPlay. Jeff (featherless) encourages to file a feature request with Apple.
