How to launch a Shortcut from iCarMode?

If you are a fan of automation, you probably already know Shortcuts app by Apple.

If you are a fan of both Shortcuts and iCarMode you probably already heard and used the option to automate iCarMode launch (if not - read iCarMode and Siri Shortcuts).

This tip is on a new feature added in version 6.5 allowing you to not only call the Shortcuts app from within iCarMode, but also launch a specific Shortcut by name and even pass a parameter if required.

 

So how you add such Shortcut?

  • Go to iCarMode's settings.
  • In the Shortcuts section choose one of the shortcuts to replace the app.
  • Choose Shortcuts.
  • A popup will ask for your Shortcut name and additional input if required.
  • You can choose a small icon to be added at the bottom of the button this will help you better distinguish between different shortcuts (version 7.9+).
  • That's it!
  • If you want to replace the Shortcut name - just do these step again.
  • If you want to delete the Shortcut name or just launch the app, just leave it empty and press Ok.

Enjoy! and as always - Drive Safely...
