WiFi updates is when you don’t have cellular service.

So I just checked on it and it said it had finished and offered to show me what was new, but when I clicked on the "What's New" button, it gave me:
I did go through and look for things though and found a few things which may be new features.
The build went from FCA-MY22.S21D.5-PROD to FCA-MY22.S23.13-PROD
These are items in the settings screen which I don't remember being there before, but this is from memory, so correct me if I'm wrong:
Emergency Vehicle Detection Alert (Off) - I turned it on...
Tire Fill Assist - It's under Hill Start Assist - No idea what this does.
Show Time and Date During Screen Off - This was off and I left it off.
Brake Service - It's under Auto Park Brake and it offers to release the Auto Park Brake, It may have had the word emergency in it, but I don't remember now.
I tried the out of car with fob and it still beeps 3 times
I didn't go through the Navigation options because I never use the navigation in favor of Android Auto - which still connected and worked ok... If I notice anything else I'll post it.

That's cool..."Tire Fill Assist - It's under Hill Start Assist - No idea what this does."
The car will honk when you are filling the tire at the gas station to let you know it reached the correct pressure. This I call a useful honk

Not that I can tell, I don't believe the app updated at all.

Not so. Can't you use your phone as wifi for other apps?
I'd think a head and tail light flash would be a better notification, rather than sharing with all in a 100 ft radius, unless it's just a brief squeak."Tire Fill Assist - It's under Hill Start Assist - No idea what this does."

I had a new rental Chrysler minivan a few weeks ago. It did the same thing, but the horn blasts were much more muted on that one. Like it just barely activated the horn, vs the FULL BLAST HONK HONK HONK on mine. That would seem like something that could be improved with software, although a nice, polite chirp from a different 'horn' would be much more pleasant and less rudimentary. The existing setup is not fitting for a $70k car.

Not sure what you're asking, but to my knowledge you can't use your phone for anything in the car other than audio. You could use your phone as a hotspot, but that's the same as putting it on your home wifi.
I cannot get any updates.
I see that you have Android auto enabled. Is it wired or wireless and does it appear that having it enabled has anything to do with it?

It's Wireless, works great. I don't see how AA would have any bearing on Uconnect updates, but who knows. PS, I saw on a Chrysler Pacifica forum that the update I got was received by a user on that forum the first week of February, so I assume it's some kind of random or predetermined algorithm that spits the updates out, so you'll probably get it soon.
So do you have MY21 or MY22? Based on your software version I’m assuming a 2022?
Also, how do you have Alexa as a link in the top bar? Or is it not Alexa?
I have a 2021 Summit (with Alexa) and I don’t have an option to add it to the task bar at the top?

You can customize the top bar by swiping down from the top of the screen and dragging and dropping what you want there.

'22. Alexa is one of the quick links I can drag there. If you hit the 2 horizontal lines in the middle of the top of the screen you get a quick menu and you can drag the icons into the 5 top slots, 4 on the left and one on the right. I think they only gave me Alexa for like 6 months without paying Stellantis a subscription, but I figured I'd try it out. It's especially useful if I forget my cell phone, I can stream music through alexa.
