Hello, we would like to know if the apps we have with you, both on Android and iOS, can be adapted to appear in cars when connected to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Hey Radio Marca,
A lot of us are really feeling the pressure on this one. I sent the email below to GoodBarber just this week after the NAB show in Vegas. There’s also another thread going on this—please take a sec to vote it up here:

Here’s what I shared with them:
Hi GoodBarber Team,
Hope you’re all doing well!
First off, thank you. We’ve been building radio apps on GoodBarber for over a decade, and your platform has truly been a game-changer. We appreciate everything your team has done to support us along the way.
That said, we’re at a real crossroads.
After last week’s NAB Show in Vegas—the biggest industry event for radio and TV—the message was loud and clear: CarPlay and Android Auto are no longer optional. Speaker after speaker stressed that if your app doesn’t show up on a car’s dashboard, you’re essentially invisible. With 97% of radio listening still happening in the car, this isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a survival feature.
Since then, we’ve heard from every one of our clients. They’ve been asking for this functionality for years, but now they’re saying it’s a deal-breaker.
We know this might not be a simple build—especially with how flexible and dynamic your platform is—but the industry moves fast, and once the big players start pushing something as essential, everyone follows.
So we’re asking:
Can we get CarPlay and Android Auto support? And if so, is there a timeline we can share with clients?
We love working with you and hope there’s a way to move forward together.
Thanks again,
Ryan
