Mount your phone on the dash and it becomes the instrument cluster the car never had. No CarPlay, no head unit, no extra hardware, just the phone you already keep in the car. Driving Mode fills the screen with what matters at speed: how fast you are going, where the next turn is, what is playing, and the two or three people you actually call. Everything is drawn large enough to read at a glance and laid out so you never hunt for a control while moving. WHAT YOU CAN DO Watch your speed on a full-screen dial, in mph or km/h Follow turn-by-turn directions with spoken prompts See and control what is playing in Music without leaving the dashboard Call a favourite contact in one tap Save where you parked and walk back to it afterwards Look back at a drive: distance, duration, top and average speed, route Mirror your speed on the windshield after dark Pick a colour theme and a start sound that suit the car PREMIUM The full set of features is available through an auto-renewing subscription, which may start with a free trial if you are eligible. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Speed and position come from your phone's sensors and are as accurate as the signal allows — treat the readout as a guide, not as a certified instrument, and keep your eyes on the road.
