Independent developer Diego Resnik recently announced an update to iCarMode 4.5, his infotainment app for iOS devices. While we haven’t had an opportunity to use the app, it looks like it might be a good option for iPhone users with older vehicles that do no include CarPlay in their features list.

iCarMode features large buttons that allow easy and safe access to music, shortcut for dialling, preferred GPS app as well as other car and driving related functionality. iCarMode 4.5 now includes integration with Apple Music allowing you to play your favourite music right from the cloud, just a tap away.
