Icon not appearing on CarPlay screen

Speaking Email FAQ | Home | All FAQs

Q: I want to get my email on CarPlay, but your icon doesn’t show up on my screen in the car. Any tips on how to make it show up?

A: If you go into the System Settings, look under General > CarPlay > your car. Tap customize and see if Speaking Email CarPlay is there.


If not, then maye you have Speaking Email installed rather than Speaking Email CarPlay. Try going to the app store and searching up Speaking Email CarPlay to see if that's the one you have downloaded.
