Installed in Auckland and Sydney
Navigation, YouTube, games and the apps your business runs on, installed on your car's head unit. Not mirrored from your phone: they run on the car itself. LocalStore installs without taking the dash apart, and you can remove it whenever you like.
Pricing coming soon. Email us at preview@appsformycar.test or use the contact page and an installer will get back to you.
You get apps from the stores you already use, or from a USB stick. LocalStore makes your car able to install and run them. We only mark an app as working once it has run on our own cars.
Run the navigation app you prefer on the big screen, not mirrored from your phone.
Watch while you charge or wait, and keep the music going on the move.
A full web browser on the car's screen.
Android games on the car's screen, for passengers and charging stops.
The apps your business runs on, on the dash.
Apps that rely on Google services run with a compatible replacement, and a few Google apps may not run at all. We'll publish what we find as we test.
Don't see the app you want? Ask for it. Requests decide what we test next.
LocalStore lives on the head unit's main screen, laid out for a glance from the driver's seat.
Put the apps your drivers already use on the dash, and see every vehicle from one account.
Example
LocalStore runs on the car's own screen. It doesn't touch the driving systems.
We only list a car as supported once LocalStore has run on it.
If you claim vehicle costs for your business, IRD accepts a logbook kept for 90 days in a row to set your business-use percentage for the next three years. LocalStore records each trip as you drive. You mark it business or private, then export it.

Not built yet. Each one moves to the features page once it works on our own car, and we don't put dates on them until then.
Live video from the car's cameras on your phone. Recording, and pictures sent to your account, already work.
Unlock commands that only your own phone can create, so our servers can pass them on but never make one.

Apps come from their own stores, and paid apps are bought from their developers. Terms
Tell us what you drive and where. We'll confirm it's supported and agree a time.
We install LocalStore in the Auckland region and in Sydney. Nothing gets taken apart.
We'll tell you what it costs before we install anything. Ask us for a call back.
Tap Install on the apps you want, on the car's screen. Updates arrive over the air.
Android Auto and CarPlay show a limited set of phone apps on the car's screen, and only while your phone is connected. LocalStore installs apps on the head unit itself, so they run without a phone and you aren't limited to apps built for car mode.
From the app stores you already use, or from a USB stick. LocalStore makes the head unit able to install and run them. We don't sell apps, and paid apps are still bought from their developers.
Not on the car's own screen. Those services need a copy-protection part that the head unit doesn't have, so their video won't start, in the apps or in a web browser. YouTube, and VLC for your own video files, work without it.
Google Play apps come through Aurora Store, and Google Play only hands apps to devices it believes are phones. If Aurora describes the car as a car, you'll see "not compatible" or "App not supported". LocalStore has a one-tap fix on the Aurora Store card. How to sort it out.
LocalStore changes software on the head unit, not the systems that drive the car. If your warranty matters to you, check with your dealer before installing. LocalStore and everything it installs can be removed.
In the Auckland region and in Sydney. Wellington and Christchurch are planned. Register with your region and we'll tell you when we reach you.
By default: your car's VIN, the LocalStore and head-unit versions, when it last checked in and from which network address, the car's status (battery, range, odometer, locks, doors, temperatures) and an hourly diagnostic log. Only if you switch them on: location and trips, and camera snapshots. Every switch is on the car, in LocalStore's Service page. Privacy
Pricing coming soon. We haven't set our prices yet, and we'll publish them here as soon as we have. In the meantime, email us at preview@appsformycar.test or use the contact page, and an installer will get back to you.
