carbridge for ios

Carbridge is a jailbreak tweak that allows additional features on Apple CarPlay including the ability to port apps from your iPhone to CarPlay. While CarPlay provides a safe and smart way to use your iPhone when you are driving, there a couple of things that it doesn’t offer. And CarBridge bridges this gap.

Carbridge iOS tweak Features

  • Load any app from your iPhone to CarPlay’s touch screen head-unit
  • Load CarPlay-compatible in full screen mode
  • Open 2 apps at the same time on your iPhone and on CarPlay
  • Swap apps between your iPhone and CarPlay
  • Bridges iPhone apps with CarPlay apps to give the full power of the app 

When you install CarBridge iOS 11 on your phone, you can load important apps such as Maps while driving. It is, however, advisable to stay away from CarPlay apps that are likely to distract you when you are driving such as YouTube and Netflix.
