XCode CarPlay simulator change resolution

Question

According to Apple docs

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/using_the_carplay_simulator?language=objc

this should enable some additional options for the CarPlay simulator

defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator CarPlayExtraOptions -bool YES

but i don't see any options available and would like to change the resolution of the CarPlay simulator, as the default is too small, how to change the CarPlay simulator resolution?

Can't you see a dialog window when selecting I/O→External Displays→CarPlay... ? You should be able to set width/height and Scale — fruitcoder, Mar 09 '23 at 14:54

Ok, so after

defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator CarPlayExtraOptions -bool YES

i needed to restart the mac, then after selecting CarPlay in I/O menu a settings dialog pop ups...

note that changing the resolution is a little buggy and you have to once again restart the simulator for the change to work proper
