Where to put it
On the dashboard
In landscape, close to your line of sight: the map and the next turn at a glance.
On a vent
Portrait or landscape: every screen adapts, so the iPhone fits the vent you have.
Driver on the right?
The SmartBar mirrors itself for right-hand drive. CarOS sets it for you where people drive on the left.
Three things to check
- 1
Nothing in the way
Keep the iPhone out of the airbag areas and out of your view of the road.
- 2
Within reach
You should reach the SmartBar without leaning forward.
- 3
Plugged in for long drives
With a charger, CarOS can even tell when you arrive: unplugging it can save your parking spot and pause the music.
Landscape or portrait, it fits
Landscape.
On the dashboard: the map, what’s playing and your trip side by side.
Portrait.
On a vent: the same dashboard, stacked.
Questions
Which mount works with CarOS?
Any mount that holds your iPhone steady: CarOS is an app, it doesn’t need a special accessory. Magnetic, clamp, vent or suction mounts all work.
Landscape or portrait?
Both, on iPhone. Landscape gives the map more room; portrait suits vent mounts. Turn the iPhone and every screen turns with it.
Do you sell a mount?
Yes: the CarOS Store has a magnetic phone holder that rotates 360°, with metal plates to slip under your case.
Should I keep the iPhone plugged in?
On long drives, yes: navigation and a bright screen use battery. Plugging and unplugging the charger can also tell CarOS when you leave and when you arrive.
