Wireless CarPlay for CarPlay enabled cars

WirelessCarPlay

Wireless CarPlay for CarPlay enabled cars

Basics

Assume that you have Carplay enabled car (full list of car models can be found here: https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/available-models/). But most of them only allow you to use wired connection. It's OK during long distance trips (you can power up your battery) but very inconvenient when driving short journeys.

Idea behind this code

The whole idea is to use Raspberry Pi hardware which will be connected to the USB port (Carplay enabled port) and your iPhone will use Bluetooth and WiFi connection to the RPi. This software will take care of BLE and WiFi connection and pass all data to your head unit via USB port.

wirelesscarplay's Issues

More insights

Hi! Can you give some more insights on the idea of how this should work with a raspberry?

does anyone have full version of carplay.pdf

need to know carplay data exhange format . wifi Apple Device Information Element (IE) payload

Can it run on Raspberry PI Zero 2w ？

The Raspberry PI Zero 2w is smaller and more powerful, which is really cool

software status

Hey I would like to help you either refine or finish this software. I am currently not sure what state this software is in, is there any documentation you can provide on where you left off so I can fork and continue progression.

Ok

Deployment steps

Can you please provide instructions on project deployment and usage on raspberry pi or any other SoC?

Saw this on Amazon.. looks like a RPI based wireless adapter based on this code (or a fork of it)

Did this product originate from here ?

Possibly a solution to the mfi problem

Have a look at this SDK it might help

Edit: you could also try to decode and use the CarPlay simulator that apple provides and get it running on a rpi because I am guessing there is some way for it to conect to your phone with out any complications but I don’t know how to get it working

that is the download link for it

Can esp32 series replace Raspberry Pi?

Can esp32 series replace Raspberry Pi?
It's has wifi and BT too. May be start up more quickly

Now Playing metadata?

Hi there!

I'm trying to find a solution for getting the now playing (or any other interesting metadata) out of my phone whilst connected to car play.

I have a Chinese head unit running Carplay (I currently have a purchased Wireless Carplay adapter running Autokit but I'm not adverse to using a Raspberry Pi and the 'wired' version).

I do mostly web based stuff and a bit of python, so was wondering if anyone could maybe point me in the right direction as going through all the C is slow going for me!

Is anyone aware of a handler hiding away in this project that any metadata like that is passed through I could tap into?

How to install?

Hi, i just wanted to ask, if theres any Guide on how to install the WirelessCarPlay?
Thanks in advance!

Hi anyone have the build steps? thanks.

I`m too stupid. xD

Deployment on a Raspberry Pi W, CM4, etc (any small factor modern Pi)

Hi, I am looking to deploy wireless carplay in my car but i don't have much space for a full length Pi, and i can't wrap around my head around how i can even deploy it from the binaries folder as there is no guide and it is for the Pi 3.

Does anyone know? Thanks!
