Apple CarPlay

Why isn't Speedometer showing on my CarPlay home screen?

If Speedometer doesn't appear on your CarPlay home screen after installing or updating the app, the most common reasons are: 1. **Customize layout hides it.** Open iPhone Settings → General → CarPlay → tap your car → Customize. Speedometer may be in the lower (hidden) section — tap the green plus to move it up. 2. **App needs an update.** Make sure you have the latest version of Speedometer from the App Store. CarPlay support requires the version that shipped with the entitlement. 3. **iPhone or iOS too old.** Speedometer requires iOS 17 or later. Check Settings → General → Software Update. 4. **CarPlay connection issue.** Disconnect and reconnect (unplug the cable, or toggle Bluetooth for wireless CarPlay). Restart your iPhone if needed. 5. **Restrictions enabled.** If you have Screen Time content restrictions, Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → Allowed Apps → make sure CarPlay apps aren't restricted.
