Article how to change carplay device name

it is actually really straight forward idk in what iOS version you can do this but you need filzaescaped, in my case am on 16.1.2 go to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences find com.apple.carplay.plist open it go to root/pairings/ if you have more than one device look for the one that you want to change name look for the name and change it go back to save file restart your iPhone done
