What's New in CarSweep

2.0

October 2, 2026

Meet EQ Designer: CarSweep now learns the EQ of your own stereo. Every car stereo has its own EQ, and almost none of them tell you what a slider actually does. "Bass" can be a shelf below 60 Hz or a bump at 120 Hz, and one step can be half a decibel or two. Without knowing that, every setting is a guess. EQ Designer measures it. Tell CarSweep how many sliders you have, then move each one all the way up and all the way down while it listens. A few minutes later it knows every slider – filter type, frequency, width and dB per step – and EZ Tuning gives you the exact setting for each one, in your stereo's own steps. It works with any head unit that has an EQ, subwoofer slider included, and the iPhone microphone is enough. Your measured stereo then shows up wherever you pick your system. You will find EQ Designer on the home screen; it is part of CarSweep Pro.

CarPlay

Does not play over wireless car play. Also tried wired connection with no avail

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. CarPlay limits how apps can route audio during a measurement, so the sweep can't run reliably through it. The workaround: 1. connect your phone to the car via Bluetooth audio for the measurement only. 2. Set the EQ values the app gives you in your car's own audio settings, and they'll carry over when you switch back to CarPlay. Sorry for the trouble, and feel free to reach out if it still doesn't work over Bluetooth.

Simple and powerful- awesome tool!

Helped me dial in the best EQ for my add-on sub to really sound great with my factory speakers

Exactly what I wanted

I’ve been waiting for an easy to use app that I can use with my Dayton calibration mic, and this works perfectly.
