Meet CarOS 5
Redesigned from the ground up.
A new app, built for the way you actually drive. Glass, depth and big round icons you can hit without looking. Every screen reads at arm's length, in daylight and at night.
-
Big targets. No aiming.
Buttons, lists and text are sized for a hand that is also holding a steering wheel.
-
Light by day, dark by night.
CarOS follows the light around you, or the setting you choose. Either way, it stays readable.
-
Any mount. Any angle.
Landscape on the dashboard, portrait on the vent. Every screen adapts. Left-hand and right-hand drive too.
SmartBar Free
One bar. Always there.
Whatever you are doing, the SmartBar stays at the bottom of the screen. Home, dash cam, Face Control, Live Sharing, the weather and the time, in the same place every time. One tap on the switch and it becomes brightness, volume, playback, night mode and SOS.
We like it so much that this page has one too. Keep scrolling.
Dashboard
Your whole trip. One glance.
The next turn, what's playing, your next appointment and how far you've come, on one screen. Nothing to open, nothing to close.
-
Turn by turn, right there.
Start a route in Maps and the next manoeuvre lands on the dashboard, with traffic and alerts on the map.
-
Play, pause, skip.
Radio, music, podcasts or Spotify: whatever is playing shows up with the three controls you need.
-
Your trip in numbers.
Average speed, driving time and distance, live. Tap one to reset it. Your next calendar event takes the map's place when it's time to leave.
Maps
Navigation that fills the screen.
Big turn cards, a clear route and an arrival time you can read from the back seat. Search by voice, pick the fastest route, go.
Routes
Compare the options, see what each one avoids, and leave with a single tap on Go.
Alerts from other drivers
Roadworks, hazards and police reported by the Waze community appear on the map as you drive, and CarOS says them out loud.
Listening
Everything you listen to. One place.
Music, radio, podcasts and Spotify, each a CarApp built for the road. Whatever you start, the same big controls follow you to every screen.
Music
Your Apple Music library: playlists, artists, albums and songs, in lists you can read while moving.
Free Radio
More than 10,000 live stations from around the world. Star your favourites and they're one tap away.
Podcasts
Follow shows, and their new episodes wait for you in Up Next. Pick up where you left off, skip with buttons sized for a moving car.
Spotify
Your Spotify playlists, mixes and podcasts, in the same big lists as everything else. Connect once, it stays connected.
Stay in touch. Eyes on the road.
Calls, messages and your calendar, with as few taps as possible and nothing to type. Say it, send it, done.
Phone
Favourites, recents and contacts in one tap. A keypad you can dial without looking down. Calls stay on screen wherever you go in CarOS.
Messages
Ready-made replies for the road, or dictate a message and send it with one tap. Your eyes stay where they belong.
Calendar
Today's appointments, with the ones you can drive to marked. Tap one and the route is ready. When it's time to leave, the dashboard tells you.
Only in CarOS.
Things your car's screen was never going to do. All of them run on the iPhone you already own.
Dash Cam
Your iPhone records the road while it guides you. Loop recording, incidents saved automatically, one tap on the SmartBar to start.
How it works
Face Control
Skip a track with a smile. Pause with a bigger one. Four expressions, each assigned to the control you want — hands on the wheel, eyes on the road.
Live Sharing
Send a link. The people who matter follow your trip in real time, and know when you've arrived.
Parking
CarOS remembers where you parked, on its own. Add a note, set a timer, walk back with a map.
Shortcuts
Open the gate, warm up the house, tell someone you're on your way. Any Shortcut becomes a big button on your home screen.
Emergency
Help is one tap away, on every screen. If the iPhone detects a crash, CarOS asks if you're all right, then opens SOS with your location and the local emergency number. Works in over 100 countries.
Automations
CarOS notices when you leave and when you arrive. It saves your parking spot, pauses the music, starts the dash cam. You set it once, then forget about it.
New Free
Your week, in marathons.
Every Monday, CarOS sums up your week on the road: how far, how long, your longest trip and what kept you company. Then it tells you what that adds up to. Share it, and try to beat it next week. The details stay on your iPhone.
- 7.5 marathons
- 787 laps of a stadium
- 0.8% of the way round the Earth
- 4 weeks in a row
Works with the apps you already use
Spotify and Google Maps open from your home screen. Waze alerts show up on your map. Any Shortcut becomes a button.

Big screen. Bigger dashboard.
On iPad, the dashboard never leaves the screen: it keeps a third for itself, your CarApps take the rest. On iPhone, turn it and every screen turns with you.

We've got your back
Real humans. Real answers. Whether it's a question or a problem, we're here to help.
Questions? Answers.
Will CarOS work in my vehicle?
Yes. CarOS runs entirely on your iPhone: no CarPlay, no compatible screen, no adapter box. Car, motorbike, scooter, license-free car, camper: all you need is your iPhone and a mount.
How is CarOS different from Apple CarPlay?
CarPlay needs a compatible head unit built into your vehicle. CarOS runs on your iPhone's own screen and adds what CarPlay doesn't have: a dash cam, Face Control, automations, Live Sharing, Parking and more.
What's new?
Everything. CarOS has been rebuilt from the ground up: a new design with glass and depth, bigger targets, a Dashboard with turn-by-turn navigation, road alerts, Calendar, Parking, Spotify, a proper iPad layout and portrait mode everywhere. It's a free update if you already have the app.
What does the free version include?
More than you'd think, with no credit card and no time limit: the Dashboard with its live map, Trip tile and player, the full SmartBar, thousands of radio stations, road alerts from the community, Live Sharing, crash detection with the SOS screen, the essential automations (your parking spot, pause, cameras off), your weekly recap and the Parking and My Week widgets. Upgrade to Premium for every CarApp, Dash Cam, Face Control, Parking, Shortcuts and more.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, anytime, in one tap. And your subscription follows you: sign in with your CarOS account on a new iPhone and everything is there.
What is the Lifetime license?
One payment, every CarOS feature forever, including all future updates, early access to new features, an exclusive app icon and priority support. No subscription, ever.
Is CarOS available on Android?
CarOS is available on iPhone and iPad, on the App Store.
Your vehicle deserves CarOS.
