About Dash Studio
What do I need?
An iPhone on iOS 26 or later and a car with CarPlay, wired or wireless. Some cars, including several electric models, don't have CarPlay. Dash Studio isn't made by or affiliated with Apple or any car maker.
How do I get the widget onto my car screen?
Connect your iPhone to your car. On your iPhone, open Settings > General > CarPlay and choose your car. Tap Widgets, turn on Show Widgets, then tap Add Widgets and choose Dash Studio. On the car screen, swipe to the widgets page. Then tell the app whether it's there.
My widget doesn't show up in the car. What now?
Answer "No" when the app asks, and it shows what to check. You can pick your car's brand for specific tips, and email us from the same screen; the email includes your iOS and app version so we can help.
How does the startup sound work?
Apps can't start anything by themselves when you connect to the car, so the sound runs from a one-time automation in Apple's Shortcuts app: Automation > New Automation > CarPlay > Connects > Run Immediately, then Dash Studio's Play Startup Sound. The app walks you through it. Change the sound any time; the automation always plays your current choice.
Why would the app ask for my location or calendar?
Only when you use a feature that needs it. "Use my location" sets the weather and city map widgets to where you are, or you can search for a city instead. The Next Event widget reads your calendar on your iPhone. If you say no, everything else keeps working.
Where are my photos and designs kept?
On your iPhone, in storage shared by the app and its widgets. You choose photos with Apple's photo picker, so the app only sees the photos you pick, and the car cut-out happens on your iPhone. There's no account.
Purchases and your data
How do I cancel a subscription?
Apple manages subscriptions. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Choose the app and tap Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
I paid, but the app doesn’t show my purchase.
Use Restore Purchases in the app, signed in with the same Apple Account you used to buy. If it still doesn’t appear, write to us with the date of the purchase (never send card details).
How do I get a refund?
Apple handles all payments, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can’t issue refunds ourselves, but we’re happy to help if something isn’t working.
How do I delete my data?
Deleting the app removes what it stores on your iPhone. The privacy policy explains anything that leaves your phone; for a request about that, use our data request page.
