This update refreshes the settings interface, shortens setup when MFi files are already available, and adds
position-aware satellite reports for experimental GPS spoofing.

What's changed

  • Refreshed settings and controls. iOS-inspired switches, rounded controls, clearer selection highlights,
    and Reddit Sans.
  • A shorter Get started guide. When both MFi files are present, their step is hidden entirely and the remaining
    steps are renumbered. With Windows Firewall off as well, the guide has two steps: pairing and Wi-Fi.
  • GPS satellite reports. Turn on Send satellites in view and reconnect to try predicted satellites for the
    virtual car's position and current time. The app downloads an almanac in the background and caches it for offline
    use. If usable almanac data is unavailable, position and wheel-speed updates continue without satellite reports.
  • A longer top gear. The default virtual car reaches about 268 km/h, and the speedometer now goes to 300 km/h.

Satellite reports remain experimental and off by default. Signal strengths are simulated, and the feature has not
been shown to extend the distance over which the iPhone accepts a spoofed position.

Install or update

Download ChairPlay-1.0.1-setup.exe from the
Releases page and run it. No administrator rights are needed
for installation. The update keeps your settings, pairing, and MFi files.

For first-time setup, pair your iPhone with Windows, open ChairPlay, and follow Get started. When the checks
are complete, keep the iPhone unlocked and nearby, press Connect, and accept the CarPlay prompt on the phone.

You still need an iPhone with CarPlay, a Windows 10 or 11 PC with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a shared WPA2 or open
Wi-Fi network that allows the devices to reach each other. A working MFi identity is required: supply your own certificate and key.
Setup guide.

Known limitations

  • CarPlay still uses Wi-Fi; USB CarPlay and a hotspot shared by the PC are not supported.
  • Close ChairPlay through its window. Force-closing an active session may require restarting the iPhone before
    reconnecting.
  • Calls work best with headphones. Speaker echo cancellation remains experimental and off by default.
