DASH9 turns your iPhone into a wireless microphone for the DASH9 dashboard in your car. DASH9 is a companion app. Sign in with the same account you use on your DASH9 dashboard, enable the mic, and your spoken requests are streamed to your car's AI co-pilot — so you can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. • Wireless mic — your phone becomes the microphone for the DASH9 dashboard, only while you're in a voice chat. It never listens in the background. • Push to talk — tap once to speak; the assistant hears you in real time. • Privacy first — the mic activates only when you start a voice chat, never the rest of the time. • Quick pairing — scan the QR code on your car screen to link this phone to your dashboard. • Sign in with Apple, Google, Facebook, X, or email.
