AudioBookSync

CarPlay

Listen to audiobooks in the car

AudioBookSync offers full CarPlay integration for comfortable audiobook listening on the go.

Library

All your books with cover, title, and author. Tap a book to start playback.

Chapter Navigation

All chapters of the current book with duration. The playing chapter is highlighted. Tap a chapter to jump to it.

Now Playing

The Now Playing view shows cover, title, progress bar, and playback controls including speed adjustment.

Pick up where you stopped reading

When you read in the e-book — on the same device or on your iPad — the app translates your reading position into the matching listening position and sends it to your other devices. The next time you connect to CarPlay, playback starts right there, with no prompt on the screen.

It is only applied when text and audio can be matched confidently, which requires an indexed audiobook.
The app never jumps back more than ten minutes — so a late look-up in the book does not rewind your listening position.

Notes

CarPlay works even when the iPhone app is in the background.
When disconnecting, progress is immediately saved and synced.
When switching books via CarPlay, the latest progress is automatically applied.
Positions from your iPhone or iPad are applied while you're driving too — again without a dialog in the car.
