Always show battery icon on wired CarPlay connections

CarPlayWiredBattery.m

// CAR* classes have been renamed to DB (DashBoard.framework) on iOS 16

// Note that this only shows the default battery with no inline percentage on iOS 16, use a tweak like Ampere (v1.3+) to enable the percentage

// iOS >= 16
%hook DBEnvironmentConfiguration
- (BOOL)isConnectedWirelessly {
    return YES;
}
%end

// iOS < 16

%hook CAREnvironmentConfiguration
- (BOOL)isConnectedWirelessly {
    return YES;
}
%end

Hi there @MTACS i found this while trying to find out how to show the battery level when plugged into CarPlay. Would this help me out? If so, how would I do that? Or do I need to jailbreak? Thanks in advance!

Hey, a jailbreak would be needed to override these, it would also be possible if you had access to the unit hosting CarPlay, I’m not sure how available the APIs are though

Thanks for the quick reply! I see. I have an aftermarket Android head unit, so I might have access, but life's a bit too busy for me to go down that rabbit hole right now. 😅😅

Thanks, I’m still on iOS 13.2.3 and this was an amazing find and worked on the first try. I’ve used a wireless adapter for five years just so I could have the battery in the sidebar. Thanks again
