CarBridge is an awesome app that lets you use almost any app on Apple CarPlay, even without jailbreaking your device. You can easily download the CarBridge app and enjoy your favorite apps while driving, all the way up to the latest iOS 17 version.

How to Download CarBridge?

To download CarBridge, you’ll need to follow these steps. Remember that CarBridge is a jailbreak tweak, so you must have a jailbroken iPhone to use it:

Let’s see how to download Carbridge.

Method 1: WheelPal App (Recommended)

  1. Install the WheelPal app on your iPhone. This app provides a user-friendly way to find and use the latest available jailbreak tool for your iPhone model.
  2. Follow the instructions provided by WheelPal to jailbreak your iPhone using the recommended tool.
  3. Once your iPhone is successfully jailbroken, proceed to download CarBridge using one of the following methods.

Method 2: Donating for CarBridge (Paid Option)

  1. If you’re willing to pay a few dollars for CarBridge, you can go to the official CarBridge website or source where it’s offered for purchase.
  2. Follow the instructions provided on the website to complete the purchase and obtain CarBridge.

Method 3: Download CarBridge.ipa with Packix Repo

  1. Open Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone.
  2. Add the Packix repository if you haven’t already. To do this, open Cydia, go to the “Sources” tab, tap “Edit” in the top-right corner, then tap “Add” in the top-left corner. Enter the following repository URL: https://repo.packix.com/ and tap “Add Source.”
  3. After adding the Packix repository, search for “CarBridge” in the Cydia search bar.
  4. Find CarBridge in the search results and tap on it.
  5. Tap the “Install” button in the top-right corner and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Method 4: Downloading via Cydia

  1. Open Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone.
  2. Make sure you have the necessary prerequisites installed in Cydia: Rocketbootstrap, Applist, and Filza.
  3. Install “PreferenceLoader” from your chosen source (e.g., BigBoss or System PreferenceLoader).
  4. Install the “leftyfl1p.deb” file (you’ll need Filza to install this). This file is essential for CarBridge to function.
  5. Congratulations, you have successfully installed CarBridge on your jailbroken iPhone, and you can now use it to run various apps on Apple CarPlay.

CarBridge for Future iOS Versions

While CarBridge is available for iOS 16, we’re excited about the potential for it to be available on iOS 17 CarPlay once it’s released.

CarBridge Alternatives

  • WheelPal: This is a top alternative that supports the latest iOS versions, offers jailbreak tools and guides, and allows you to run any app on CarPlay, including DRM content like Netflix.
  • NGXPlay and CarPlayEnable: These jailbreak-required alternatives mirror your iPhone to the CarPlay screen and allow you to run various apps. NGXPlay can handle DRM-protected content.

CarBridge Drawbacks

While CarBridge is fantastic, it does have some limitations:

  • It can’t run certain video streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu due to DRM restrictions.
  • You’ll need to adjust your phone settings to prevent it from locking while driving.
  • Compatibility may vary depending on your CarPlay screen type.

No Jailbreak Alternatives

If you’d rather not jailbreak your iPhone, you can explore hardware upgrades that enhance your CarPlay experience, such as wireless adapters like Onince and Carlinkit.

CarBridge is a great tool for expanding the capabilities of your CarPlay system and enjoying a wide range of apps while on the road. Whether you choose to jailbreak or not, you have options to make the most out of your CarPlay experience.
