StarPilot BT brings Galaxy to your iPhone through a direct Bluetooth connection. Once setup is complete, local Bluetooth access works without a network connection on either device. PAIR ONCE Open Pair phone on your compatible comma, then tap Pair with comma in the app. Your saved pairing is used to reconnect afterward. GALAXY ON YOUR PHONE Browse the settings available on your connected StarPilot build. Search for a setting and adjust supported switches and values. Availability follows the rules provided by your comma. CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION Use Bluetooth only, Wi-Fi only, or Automatic. Automatic prefers reachable local Wi-Fi and falls back to your paired comma over Bluetooth. BUILT FOR LOCAL ACCESS Your paired device and connection preferences are remembered on your iPhone. Pairing credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. REQUIREMENTS An iPhone running iOS 17 or later and a supported comma device running a compatible StarPilot build with the Bluetooth bridge are required. Installing this app does not install or update StarPilot on your comma. Initial comma bridge setup requires internet access. Some Galaxy features require a reachable local Wi-Fi connection. Online services and downloads also require internet access on comma. Set up and adjust your device while safely parked. StarPilot BT is a companion interface and does not replace the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle safely.
