iCar — Car Dashboard Widgets for iPhone (2026)
Build a personal car dashboard on your iPhone Home and Lock Screen.
iCar is an iPhone widget app for drivers who want a personalized car dashboard on their Home or Lock Screen. You can build dashboard widgets with your car details, make lyrics-style cards from text you enter, choose motion-poster visual themes, and use Apple Shortcuts to play a sound when CarPlay connects or disconnects. iCar does not modify or control the CarPlay interface, does not track location, and stores widget state locally on the device. Apple supports eligible small iPhone widgets in CarPlay on iOS 26, but iCar 1.0 has not yet been verified in the published CarPlay widget gallery.

Frequently asked questions
Can iCar put custom widgets inside the CarPlay screen?
Apple supports small iPhone widgets in CarPlay starting with iOS 26. iCar does not modify or control the CarPlay interface, and availability of iCar widgets in the CarPlay gallery depends on your iOS version and the current iCar release. N5 Labs has not yet verified iCar 1.0 in that gallery, so its confirmed widget surfaces remain the iPhone Home and Lock Screen. Its Shortcuts sound automations work separately when CarPlay connects or disconnects.
Can iCar play a sound when CarPlay connects?
Yes, through an Apple Shortcuts personal automation. iOS detects the CarPlay connection and runs the automation, while iCar supplies bundled sound cues and lets Pro users import short local audio files.
Does iCar include copyrighted song lyrics?
No. The lyrics-style card editor has no licensed lyrics library; you enter the text, song title, and artist line you want to display.
Does iCar track my car or location?
No. iCar states that it does not track location. Its widget setup is stored locally and shared with the iPhone widget extension.
Is iCar free?
iCar is free to download with a dashboard widget, date board widget, basic lyrics-style editor, a basic ride sound, and one car profile. Optional iCar Pro unlocks premium visual styles, more layouts, and custom ride sounds.
