While an audiobook or podcast plays, the speed button on CarPlay’s Now Playing screen shows the book’s current speed, such as 1.25×. Tap it to go one step faster (after 2× it wraps to 0.75×), or use the “−” and “+” buttons beside it to go one step slower or faster; they turn gray at the slowest or fastest step. It’s the same per-book speed as on the iPhone player, so a change on either side shows on the other. Default audiobook buttons: Skip Back, Slower, Playback Speed, Faster, Skip Forward. If the button shows 0× and doesn’t react, update Primuse.
Play an audiobook or podcast through CarPlay and open “Now Playing”; the number on the speed button is the current speed.
The steps are 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75× and 2×. The buttons are there even when music uses “High Fidelity Direct”.
To change the buttons, on iPhone go to “Settings” › “Playback” › “CarPlay”, tap “Now Playing”, and under “Bottom Row” choose “Audiobooks”.
Reorder or delete buttons, or tap “Add” for “Slower”, “Playback Speed” or “Faster”; up to 5 fit. Audiobook buttons you arranged before stay as they were.
No buttons in the car? Check that “Player Style” under “Now Playing” isn’t set to “Focused Playback”.
