Frequently asked questions
What is CarTheme?
CarTheme is an iPhone app that personalizes your CarPlay experience: custom widgets and themes for the iOS 26 dashboard, plus startup sounds that play automatically when your phone connects to the car.
Does CarTheme work with my car?
If your car (or aftermarket head unit) supports Apple CarPlay and your iPhone runs iOS 26, CarTheme works — wired or wireless.
Is CarTheme free?
The app is free to download and includes free widgets, themes and sounds. CarTheme Premium unlocks the full sound library, all theme presets and custom audio imports.
How do startup sounds work?
CarTheme uses the CarPlay connection event on your iPhone: the moment the phone pairs with the car, your chosen sound plays through the car speakers. No buttons, no shortcuts to press.
Do the widgets also work on my iPhone home screen?
Yes — every widget you design in CarTheme can be added to your iPhone home screen and lock screen, not just CarPlay.
