Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Long drives are a great time to listen to audiobooks and while audible, the audiobooks native app and my podcatcher Overcast all support carplay Audiobookshelf does not

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like it if the Audiobookshelf iOS app supported Carplay and was available as an app on the in-car dashboard to continue listening to my books in the car.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hooking up my phone as a straight bluetooth audio source works for listening to the books, but I can't use apple's navigation or get notifications through carplay and use it as a straight bluetooth audio source at the same time.

Additional context
