Open source

Built on Pi2Carplay.

Questions? Answers.

What is the ATCBridge Kit?
The ATCBridge Kit (Add To CarPlay Bridge Kit) is a Raspberry Pi 5 hardware kit with an illustrated guide for running Pi2Carplay, an open-source project that puts an Android desktop and apps on your car’s wired CarPlay screen.
Can I add Netflix, YouTube or TikTok to Apple CarPlay?
Not as CarPlay apps: Apple doesn’t allow video apps in CarPlay. With the ATCBridge Kit plugged into your car’s CarPlay USB port, you can stream Netflix and play YouTube and TikTok on the CarPlay screen while parked, because the kit runs Android apps itself.
Which apps can I run?
Any Android app you can install: stream Netflix, Twitch and Plex, play YouTube, TikTok and Kodi, and use Spotify, Google Maps and Waze. Apps that stream need internet, so use car Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot.
Will it work in my car?
Your car needs wired (USB) CarPlay. Pi2Carplay is a young project still being tested on more vehicles, so check the compatibility list first. If your car only has wireless CarPlay, choose the T-Box Lite S.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You flash an SD card with a free app and click through Android setup. If you can install apps on a phone and plug in a cable, you can do it. If you’d rather not, the T-Box Lite S works out of the box.
Why doesn’t the SD card come with the software already installed?
Pi2Carplay is built on an Android base whose license doesn’t allow commercial redistribution. So you install the author’s official release from GitHub yourself, which our guide makes easy. It also means you always start on the latest version.
Where do you ship?
To the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Prices are shown in your local currency.
Is it safe to watch video while driving?
No. Watch video only while parked, and follow your local laws. Use navigation and audio apps the way you would any in-car system.

Your car’s screen can do more.

Build it with the ATCBridge Kit, or plug in the T-Box. Either way, your apps are on the dash this weekend.
