Free app for Hammerhead Karoo

Make the Karoo start screen yours.

Out of the box, every Karoo looks the same. Pick any photo on your phone — the family, the gorge, last summer's tour — and it becomes your start screen, panning behind your ride profiles as you swipe.

No cable, no file manager. Crop it on your phone; your Karoo picks it up over the air. Included free with every account, alongside your first card.
