Support for round display

Carplay
1

Hi guys, I’m working with a round display and i having problems with the buttons on the left part of the screen. I was thinking to create a overlay to simulate those buttons, but I don’t know if that is the best way to do it or maybe is there another way more efficient and easy.

thank you!

Dear Frank,

My understanding is that the car CarPlay utility sends the screen configurations (width, height, resolution etc.) to the connected phone. Based on this, the phone sends a continuous stream to the car utility, which on term sends it to the screen.

I doubt that a round configuration can be sent to the iPhone to render this properly. Apple simply does not emit such format.
