Hello all, I currently have a Galaxy S8 and am looking into getting a new iPhone. I currently run Viper4Android on my HU (Si with "premium sound") and play music through Google Play connected via USB. The Viper4Android does an amazing job making the music sound better and I couldn't imagine not using it.

For those who use Apple Carplay, is there any downloadable apps similar to Viper4Android that are usable as an equalizer for playing music? I read other threads that Viper4Android will not work in Carplay, so I was hoping someone discovered an alternative for iPhone use.

Thanks

As far as I know, V4A works for me with CarPlay. I'll need to double check this to be absolutely sure. As far as I know there is really no better alternatives for the head unit EQ app other than this one.

I may just have to go the bluetooth route as I stream everything. It sucks there is nothing for Apple lol.

I sometimes turn off my viper4android app just to see how much of a difference there is in sound quality and it's quite astounding. It really does transform music well with all the little adjustments you can make. I even upgraded the center speaker and tweeters and although they helped the stock audio output a bit, the viper4android really made the most difference.

I have XS Max 13.5. jailbroken with underc0ver, main reason for this was systemwide EQE. Civic sounds really crappy without some EQ bass boosting.

If you plan to use Apple Music, I think it has an equalizer built in. Not sure if that translates over CarPlay, or just headphones though.
