Picture this: your iPhone is right next to you, and you need to send an urgent text message, but you’re going 50 MPH and can’t pull over. No problem... if you have Apple CarPlay. So, what is Apple CarPlay? It’s basically your iPhone becoming one with your car, and you’re going to wonder how you ever lived without it.
How Does it Work?
When a vehicle is equipped with Apple CarPlay, all of your iPhone’s functions are visible on your dashboard display, so you can make calls, get directions, text message, and play music, simply by accessing the screen. Your attention never has to leave the road. Genius!
Always in Control
Siri becomes an even more powerful virtual assistant, thanks to voice control via your vehicle. Place calls, listen to texts and voicemails, compose text messages and emails - Siri enables it all. But CarPlay also lets you use your car’s knobs, buttons, or touchscreen to interact with your apps, which by the way, have been redesigned to work more effectively within your car.
Never Get Lost
Apple Maps moves from your iPhone to your dashboard in crisp display, where Apple CarPlay can predict where you’re going from your calendar and other communication and get you there the quickest way possible. Just ask Siri where the nearest gas station or ATM is, and Apple CarPlay will show you the way, and even add some extra tips about the speed limit and which lane is the best choice.
You’re Your Own DJ
Wherever you keep your music - iTunes, Apple Music, or in another app - it doesn’t matter. Apple CarPlay lets you search for whatever tune you want and shows you what’s up next. Ask Siri to mix music for you!
Personalize Your App Experience
With Apple CarPlay, you can make the iPhone apps you use all the time part of your driving experience and customize how they appear. And, car manufacturers are always developing additional apps that control vehicle features, and these are supported, too.
