This would be a great feature for the camper-van community

As far as I know this request is known, and is on the radar of @Lpopescu
The biggest challenge is that operation should not be possible while driving.
Maybe something with the handbrake signal, or monitoring/main page only.

Ok, I didn’t know. Making the VRM accesible through Carplay could be limited to only see the dashboard without any controls. But if you look at for instance Spotify, it is quite a lot of controls you can do there. There are many apps available in Carplay with a lot of functionality.
Anyway… It would be a great feature to have
Siri Voice control?
I use my iPad for satnav in my Motorhome with the Cerbo on my hotspot and iPad I can see what’s going on while driving on the VRM.
… and Android auto

Victron Connect would be great as CarPlay
While driving is not so hard… The iPhones GPS can give data that it is moving and only for example show data and not be able to do active choices in menu…
Android Auto (one of the most popular OS for car), have this feature natively supported - when you drive some of the apps are not accessible

ok that’s good but now it was Apple CarPlay the thread starter asked for…
Okay, in CarPlay it works same why. When you develop app for CarPlay there is a build in functionality in SDK to restrict some functions while you are driving. Some of the restrictions are automatic, like ability to use on screen keyboard while driving
