CarPlay has a lot more hidden features than most people realize. In this video, I’ll show you the best Apple CarPlay tips and tricks, including how to add a custom startup sound, rearrange apps, customize widgets, unlock hidden wallpaper colors, use AI apps, change your CarPlay appearance, order food, clear live activities, and get the best CarPlay experience in your vehicle.
This is a reupload because I noticed a lot of viewers were missing the airplane chime part, and some were skipping to the end just to see how to make it. So I flipped the video around to make it easier for everyone to find right away.
