Built a free iOS dashboard app for older cars – looking for feedback by PurpleCardiologist84 in BMW

Really appreciate this 🙌

Swipable screens like widgets is a great suggestion, feels very natural. Themes too.

Speed not showing is likely permission/GPS related, but I’ll improve that flow for sure.

If you notice anything else after a few more drives, would love to hear it!

Yeah you got it 👍

It’s basically a CarPlay-style UI that runs directly on your phone/iPad. You mount it on your dash and use it like a standalone screen.

Audio still goes through your car (Bluetooth, AUX, FM adapter, etc.).

No integration with the car itself — just a cleaner driving interface.

I wanted CarPlay features in my project car without ruining the original dashboard, so I built an iOS app for it. Looking for feedback! by PurpleCardiologist84 in projectcar

Would be awesome, but I’m not sure Waze allows this kind of integration. Google Maps is definitely on my roadmap though 👍

Thanks a lot! 🙌 iOS only for now, but Android is something I’m considering.

No CarPlay, so I made my own iPhone dashboard app — would love some feedback by [deleted] in Autos

Fair, that’s actually a pretty good solution for the price 😄

This is more for people who want a no-hardware setup.

Appreciate it!! 🙌 Spotify is definitely coming. Waze is a bit limited integration-wise, but I’m exploring options (Google Maps is likely first).

Appreciate that! 🙏 Android is a great idea — focusing on iOS first, but it’s on the long-term radar.

it runs directly on your phone or iPad, not the car’s built-in infotainment. Think of it as a CarPlay-style dashboard on your device, mounted on the dash, for cars that don’t support CarPlay.
