I built a CarPlay sound picker. How would you explain the extra Shortcuts setup?

I'm Noam, the developer of Car Play Widgets: Dashboard for iPhone. Alongside photo, clock and countdown widgets, the app has a sound library for CarPlay connections. The setup crosses two apps: In Car Widgets, choose the sound you want for connecting to CarPlay. In Apple's Shortcuts app, use the CarPlay Connects trigger with our CarPlay Connected Sound action. Shortcuts runs the automation; choosing a sound in our app alone doesn't activate it. A disconnect sound uses a separate Disconnects automation and the CarPlay Disconnected Sound action. Set it up and test it while parked, since volume and audio routing can affect what you hear. The current version has 14 free catalog sounds. The other catalog sounds and keeping your own imported audio require Pro. Widget design previews are free, while saving widgets also requires Pro. CarPlay widgets need iOS 26+ and a compatible display. For anyone who has built an app that hands part of setup over to iOS: would you explain that second step before the sound picker, or immediately after someone selects their first sound? I'm interested in where the handoff would be clearest.
