DiPlay: Adding CarPlay to BYD Head Units Without Jailbreaking

·2026.10.01 20:59

Connect CarPlay to the Android head unit of BYD vehicles. It supports wired and wireless connections simply by installing an APK, without requiring an iPhone jailbreak, a separate dongle, or a Mac authentication server.

It displays navigation arrows, distance, and road names on the HUD, maintaining wireless connections via the vehicle's hotspot. It installs independently of the existing DiAuto, allowing users to choose between Wi-Fi Direct and the vehicle hotspot.

Since this uses an experimental approach that is not Apple-certified, it may not work perfectly with all iOS updates or head units. It has been optimized for specific BYD models and firmware versions, and compatibility is currently being verified through community testing.
