CarOS transforms your mobile device into a powerful and safe car dashboard. It provides access to navigation, music, calls, and messages, all designed for use while driving. The app aims to make your car smarter and more connected without needing expensive hardware upgrades.
Key features include Face Control for hands-free operation, a smart dash cam, worldwide emergency number access, turn-by-turn navigation, music and radio playback, voice-controlled messaging, and real-time location sharing. It also offers a 'Driving Mode' and automatic 'Start & Stop' adjustments for brightness and volume.
Downloading and using the core CarOS app is free. However, the app does offer in-app purchases, which may unlock additional features or content. Integration with services like Spotify may also require a premium account for those services.
CarOS is compatible with all car brands and models, provided you have a phone mount. For iOS devices, it requires a screen size of 4 inches and above. The app is designed to be a universal solution for enhancing your driving experience.
Face Control allows you to operate your device or control music and radio playback using facial gestures, eliminating the need to touch the screen. This feature enhances safety by allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
