Rally Co-Pilot

Connect a Game Controller

Rally Co-Pilot can start and stop a special stage from a PlayStation or Xbox controller — a reliable, glove-friendly remote you can mount on the dashboard. This guide shows how to pair one and which buttons to use.

Pairing the controller

PlayStation (DualSense / DualShock 4)

  1. Turn the controller off. Hold the PS button and the Create (or Share) button together until the light bar starts flashing.
  2. On your iPhone open Settings → Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is on.
  3. Tap the controller under Other Devices to connect. The light bar turns solid once paired.

Xbox Wireless Controller

  1. Turn the controller on with the Xbox button, then hold the Pair button on top until the Xbox button flashes quickly.
  2. On your iPhone open Settings → Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is on.
  3. Tap the controller under Other Devices to connect.

Using it during a rally

In Rally Co-Pilot, turn on Settings → Accessories → Remote Start → Use game controller. Open a stage and:

  • A / Cross — start the highlighted stage (marked "Next").
  • B / Circle — stop the running stage.
  • D-pad up / down — choose which stage starts next; the highlight moves as you press.

Nothing happens when I press a button

Make sure the controller is connected in iOS Settings → Bluetooth (not just powered on), that "Use game controller" is enabled in the app, and that you have a stage open. If it still doesn't respond, reconnect the controller and reopen the stage.
