Apple Car Play And Dashcam

I have just purchased a Kapure RoadEye 2000 and I can't seem to use Apple Car Play and the dash cam at the same time. What can I do to use both at the same time?

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Both require a connection to your phone: CarPlay uses CarPlay's own connection (usually wired or Bluetooth) while most dash cams use the phone's WiFi for features like live view and downloading footage.


There are a couple approaches:

  1. Check for CarPlay Compatibility: While uncommon, some dash cams offer built-in CarPlay functionality. Check your RoadEye 2000 manual or Kapture's website to see if it has CarPlay compatibility.
  2. Separate Connections: This might not be ideal, but you could try using a CarPlay adapter that uses a different connection method (like wired CarPlay if your phone usually connects wirelessly). This would free up your phone's Bluetooth or WiFi for the dash cam.

Try Wired CarPlay.


If you find yourself encountering issues with third-party apps or a particular website or product, reaching out to the respective app developer, or manufacturer can be a helpful step in resolving the problem.


How to Contact the Manufacturer: Dash Camera - Kapture

  1. Product Manual: As mentioned, the product manual can be an excellent resource for finding contact information. Look for the "Support" or "Contact Us" section in the manual.
  2. Product Packaging: Check the product's packaging for any contact details, customer support numbers, or websites provided by the manufacturer.
  3. Manufacturer's Website: Visit the official website of the manufacturer. Most reputable companies have a support section where you can find contact information or submit support requests.
  4. Customer Support: Look for a customer support phone number or email address on the manufacturer's website. Some companies even offer live chat support for immediate assistance.
  5. Social Media: Many manufacturers maintain a presence on social media platforms. Consider sending them a message or mentioning them in a post to seek help.
  6. Retailer: If you purchased the product from a retailer, they might also be able to assist you or direct you to the manufacturer's support channels.


When contacting either the app developer or the manufacturer, be sure to provide specific details about the problem you're facing, including any error messages, screenshots, or steps to reproduce the issue. This information will help them better understand and resolve the difficulty you're experiencing.


Remember to remain polite and patient while seeking support, as it may take some time for the developers or manufacturers to respond to your inquiries.
