DiPlay, CarPlay for compatible Android head units
A Chinese-language guide and download page for DiPlay, a free, open-source CarPlay receiver app intended to run on compatible Android car head units.
- For
- BYD owners with Android 9+ head units and an iPhone
- Worth noticing
- The site says support is focused on BYD; other Android head units may run it but are outside the project’s support scope.
Field notes
The installation guide distinguishes the receiver from the iPhone: the APK belongs on the car’s Android head unit, while the phone acts as the sender. It gives troubleshooting settings for lag, including returning to 30 fps, disabling HEVC, and lowering resolution to 80% or 60%. The page also identifies a reported Wi-Fi scanning issue on some 2023 Han models with DiLink 3 and says v0.2.12 adds suppression on Android 10, pending real-car retesting.
