In Carplay, is it possible to update the navigation title and also add right tab bar items? Couldn't find these details in the documentation. Please suggest

Hi, if your app is using a tab bar template, then you should specify either a tabSystemItem OR both a tabImage and a tabTitle to customize the template's appearance in the tab bar.

Or, if your template has been pushed onto a navigation stack, then the title of the template will be displayed in the navigation bar while that template is visible.

It's generally not possible to update the title of a template after it has been displayed; please file a feedback request with more details on your use case if this would be helpful for you.

For navigation bar items, most (but not all) templates support setting leadingNavigationBarButtons and trailingNavigationBarButtons. Check to see if the template you're using conforms to the CPBarButtonProviding protocol; if so, then it supports setting leading and trailing bar buttons.
