PUBLIC PREVIEW · 0.2.6

Your iPhone.
At home in your car.

Maps, music and conversations on your car display. DiPlay brings wired and wireless CarPlay to compatible Android head units, with the familiar DiAuto interface.

Download APK How to install

No jailbreak, dongle, account or authentication server required.

Install on the car, not the iPhone. Wireless uses the built-in car hotspot or Wi-Fi Direct (Android 10+). Compatibility depends on the head unit, firmware and iOS version.

  2. Open DiPlay and allow the requested Bluetooth, Wi-Fi/location and microphone permissions.
  3. Turn on the car’s built-in hotspot (5 GHz if available). In Settings → Connection setup, select Built-in car hotspot and save its exact name and password. Keep phone Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on, pair with the car, then tap Connect phone and accept the phone prompts.

Before you try it

A public preview, not an Apple-certified product. Authentication uses an experimental accessory identity recovered from public firmware; future acceptance is not guaranteed. Some head units still show stuttering or ignore icon-size changes. Start with 30 fps and HEVC off; try a lower resolution if needed.
