Roadwave — In-Car Music Player with 3D Audio 1.3
5/5,

votes
Roadwave puts a music player in the car you are driving. It is a screen in the cabin, placed and sized where you want it, playing files you already have on your disk. The sound comes from the car, not from you; it goes quieter and duller with distance, the way music from a parked car actually does. Nothing is built into any vehicle, so it works in every car in the game, including modded ones.
Features
- 3D positional audio: Full volume within two metres of the wheel, falling off with distance. Includes a toggle to make audio flat.
- Muffled audio: Music goes dull when stepping out of the cabin, simulating sound from the pavement.
- Customizable in-car screen: Drag to move, scroll to resize, and Shift + scroll to adjust depth. Each vehicle remembers its own settings.
- Dual HUD apps: A compact player for the screen corner and a browser for picking playlists and tracks.
- Playlist support: Organizes music based on folders. Supports shuffle, repeat all, and repeat one.
- Seven bindable controls: Allows full control without opening menus while driving.
- Supported formats: mp3, ogg, wav, and flac.

Controls
All controls are found in Options > Controls (search for "roadwave"). Defaults:
- Play / pause: Shift + M
- Next track: Shift + .
- Previous track: Shift + ,
- Volume up: Shift + Numpad +
- Volume down: Shift + Numpad -
- Next playlist: Shift + B
- Previous playlist: Shift + V

Known limits
- No track times (the mod reads filenames, not tags).
- No m4a or aac support.
- Cabin screen requires the interior camera.
- Not tested with BeamMP.
- Built and tested against BeamNG.drive 0.39.
Installation Instructions
1. Press Win + R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods and press enter.
2. Create folders until you have this exact path: mods\unpacked\rw_music\rw_music\
3. Inside the inner rw_music folder, create a folder named after your playlist and place your music files inside.

4. Restart the game. The game only looks for new unpacked folders during startup.
5. Open the apps: pause menu > HUD Apps > Search Roadwave Player and Roadwave Browser.
Optional: Using a folder junction for large libraries
To avoid copying files, use a folder junction in PowerShell:
New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods\unpacked\rw_music\rw_music\MyMusic -Target D:\Music
(Replace YOU and D:\Music with your own paths. Wrap paths in double quotes if they contain spaces). Restart the game after creating the junction.
