Description
Stream movies in HD, join video calls and use sat nav from your phone in your Tesla.
Transform your car’s main display into a smart extension of your iPhone with Car Cast. Designed for ultimate convenience, Car Cast enables you to mirror your iPhone's screen to your car's display, ensuring you stay connected, entertained, and informed, whether you're parked or on the move. Never let an important notification slip by while driving again!
Key Features:
• Easy setup: Follow our simple instructions to screen mirror your iPhone to your car’s display.
• Flexibility: Whether you're parked or driving, Car Cast adjusts to your needs.
• Park mode: Cast movies, TV shows or live sport streamed by mirroring your phone to your car screen
• Drive mode: Keep track of important notifications, use your preferred sat nav app or music player
• Enhanced connectivity: Screen mirror iPhone apps like Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Meet to leverage your car’s display for video calls.
Car Cast is compatible with:

Car Cast works as a great alternative to Apple Car Play which is not available for Tesla vehicles. It works as a Tesla mirror utility that can use your Tesla's Premium Connectivity or phone tethering, coupled with WiFi or your phone's 4G/5G to stream your display in real-time to your main Tesla display.
Technical information
Your car must have MCU2 or greater to stream video in Park mode (typically cars newer than March 2018 are compatible). For Drive mode to function, your vehicle must allow the web browser to be used when driving.
Other cars may be compatible if they have a modern Chromium based web browser.

Streamline your in-car experience with screencast and car cast features that bring your favorite content and apps from your iPhone to your vehicle’s display. From mirroring phone content in your car to using alternative sat nav or maps applications, Car Cast enriches your driving experience.

Ratings and Reviews
Screen share only
This application purports itself be a way to have interaction with your iPhone using the Tesla browser screen. However, this is only a screen sharing app, which has no ability to be interactive. Once it’s put on there’s a significant lag, particularly as you swipe through mini screens, using the phone itself even applications, where it would be helpful in an electric car you cannot engage the iPhone without touching the iPhone itself
Developer Response ,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience, we had hoped by using the words "cast" and "mirror" would show that this is a 1 way screen share, we will update the app store listing to make this clearer.
The "lag" is the framerate reduction in drive mode, this is intentional so that drivers do not watch videos when driving. It is annoying but necessary sadly, it still offers a solid solution for using sat nav such as Waze and Google maps that don't need such a high refresh rate. Park mode does not have this restriction or latency and is ideal for watching tv, movies or live sport.
Thanks again for the feedback, it's appreciated.
Bad video quality, consume cellular data, unsafe
The video quality is terrible.
The transfer between my phone and vehicle will consume massive cellular data traffic.
All my screen data will be transferred to their server. They can see everything on your phone. So terrible!
Developer Response ,
Hi, thanks for the feedback. To address your concerns, yes, the app uses your cellular connection as mentioned in the app store listing, but it is no more than using a streaming service or video conference call on your phone. The app also works using WiFi and premium connectivity so the data usage is only from the iPhone, it's not doubling up your data usage.
In terms of safety, data is transmitted securely and utilises WebRTC, the same technology as Google Meet to make a peer to peer connection between the devices via a relay server. It is no less secure than having a video conference call intercepted.
In terms of connection quality, the picture quality is transmitted as HD, check your network signal if you are having issues with quality and latency.
Thanks for using Car Cast, I hope this addresses your concerns.
Horrible! refund needed immediately

Sorry to hear you appear to have had a negative experience. Can we ask why it's "horrible" please? We're always looking for ways to improve.
