Car Remote for DJI®
Control cameras in your car
Only for iPhone
$3.99 · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Start and stop every camera on your car with one tap on the CarPlay screen, see recording time, battery and SD space at a glance, and add GPS to your footage.
Control every DJI® Osmo camera on your car from CarPlay.
Car Remote talks to your cameras directly over Bluetooth. Mount cameras at the front, at the back and inside the car, and start them all with one tap on the CarPlay screen, without reaching for your iPhone or the cameras.
ON THE CARPLAY SCREEN
• Record all and Stop all: every camera starts and stops together
• Each camera on its own: record, stop and mark the moment (Highlight)
• Switch a camera between video, photo and hyperlapse
• Recording time, battery and free SD space for each camera at a glance
• Switch all cameras off when you park, after one confirmation
GPS IN YOUR FOOTAGE (OPTIONAL)
Turn on "Add GPS to the footage" and Car Remote sends your iPhone's position and speed to the cameras while you drive, the way DJI's GPS remote does. It is off until you turn it on, and the position goes only to your own cameras.
HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI
Say "Start recording with Car Remote" or "Stop recording with Car Remote". The same actions are in the Shortcuts app, so your cameras can start recording automatically when your iPhone connects to CarPlay.
RECORDING TIME AT A GLANCE
On iOS 18 and later, a Live Activity shows how long your cameras have been recording on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. On iOS 26 and later it also appears on the CarPlay Dashboard.
MADE FOR THE ROAD
The car screen uses big buttons and short status lines, nothing that needs a second look. A camera that is switched off, out of range or connected to another device never holds up the others: Car Remote connects it as soon as it can. If you start Record all before every camera is on, the late ones start recording as soon as they join. A camera keeps recording even if the Bluetooth link drops for a moment.
SET UP ON YOUR IPHONE
Add your cameras once in the iPhone app and give them names you recognise. Car Remote then connects them whenever you open it in CarPlay. The iPhone app works as a remote on its own too, with a live recording timer for each camera.
SUPPORTED CAMERAS
• Osmo Action 6, Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4
• Osmo 360
Several cameras at once, also of different models.
REQUIREMENTS
iOS 16 or later. For the car screen, a car with CarPlay.
GOOD TO KNOW
• A DJI camera accepts one Bluetooth remote at a time. While Car Remote is connected to a camera, other apps and remotes can't connect to it, and the other way round.
• Switch your cameras on with their own buttons: a DJI camera can be switched off over Bluetooth, but not on.
• There is no live preview and no media download. Both need Wi-Fi, and neither belongs on a car screen.
• Add and rename cameras on your iPhone while parked, and keep your eyes on the road.
PRIVACY
Car Remote collects nothing. There are no accounts, no analytics and no internet access. Bluetooth is used only to talk to your own cameras, and your location is used only if you turn on GPS for the footage.
Car Remote is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd. DJI, Osmo and the camera names above are trademarks of SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd. CarPlay is a trademark of Apple Inc.
