Apple CarPlay is a feature-rich tool in vehicle automation, granting you access to everything from hands-free communication and messaging to immediate playlist control via Apple Music. Often, however, it’s the little details that create the most significant effects, which is why we are going to show you how to craft your own startup sound for Apple CarPlay.
This isn’t the most difficult process in the world, but it requires some exploration of parts of your iPhone you might not even be aware of. Perhaps one day Apple will introduce a feature or setting that enables you to generate a custom tone without all the backdoor navigation we are about to explore. But for now, we must navigate the existing landscape of both iOS and CarPlay.
Fortunately, the only two items you’ll require for this task are your iPhone and a computer equipped with YouTube-ripping software, if you intend to retrieve your custom sound byte from a video.
