CarvomiFrequently asked questions
How much mobile data does it use?
Almost none. The video, sound and touches travel only between your phone and car, inside your phone’s hotspot. They never go out to the internet, so they don’t use your mobile data.
The internet is used for just two small things:
- When the car opens the
car.carvomi.comstart page (a few KB) - When the phone occasionally downloads the shared certificate it uses for a secure (HTTPS) connection
Which phones and cars work?
- Phone: Android 6.0 or later. Every feature works on Android 11 or later.
- Car: any car with a web browser that can join your phone’s hotspot over Wi-Fi. Tested on Tesla.
Can I use it while driving?
Don’t operate the screen or watch videos while driving. Always keep your attention on the road and follow your local traffic laws. Use apps and watch videos only when the car is safely parked.
Does it work with iPhone?
No. Carvomi works with Android phones only.
Netflix shows a black screen
Copy-protected (DRM) video like Netflix is blocked from showing on other screens. Use the car’s own Netflix (Tesla Theater).
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The screen itself never needs the internet — it stays inside your hotspot. Where there’s no internet at all, such as an underground car park, car.carvomi.com may not open. If so, type 203.0.113.1:2952 into the car’s browser.
Do you send my information anywhere?
No. Your screen, touches, typing, photos and app list stay between your phone and car, and are never stored on any server. See the privacy policy for details.
How do I contact you?
By email: carvomi@gmail.com. Please include your phone model, Android version, car model and the diagnostic code (DX-…) from the app’s Readiness screen — it helps us answer faster.
