1. Driving without distractions.
A smart safety measure designed to force you to pay attention to your driving and rely on voice communication or controls you can reach without taking your eyes off the road.
2. Hands-free navigation. Go from here to anywhere.
3. Wireless connectivity.
Wireless CarPlay, no need to connect your phone AT ALL. Now it connects wirelessly, just like Bluetooth. This means you can have some of your most useful apps, navigation, music, phonebook, and more, mirrored on the screen—without even connecting your phone.
4. Deal with work-related problems smarter and safer.
Siri will read your iMessages or SMS messages aloud and dictate responses. This is a godsend when you need to respond to work-related messages immediately but can't afford to get sidetracked and waste time.
5. An economical upgrade for your vehicle.
The easiest way to get CarPlay is to buy a new car. Of course, you wouldn't want to spend money on a new car just to get a better entertainment system; aftermarket infotainment systems offer the same functionality as the factory units in CarPlay-compatible cars at a fraction of the cost of a new vehicle.
6. Applies to both Apple and Android.
Some products are also compatible with CarPlay's Android-based competitor, Android Auto. This allows family members who don't use Apple products to also enjoy a better hands-free driving experience.
7. Better music playback experience.
It offers a wide selection of radio and music apps such as Spotify, iHeartRadio, Audible and Overcast.
8. Easier access to entertainment. Entertainment that lets you enjoy the ride.
Say what to play next. Take your media on the go. And control it all with your voice. Pause your travel playlist and pick up where you left off. Simply speak to start a new audiobook. Or play that one song for the hundredth time.
This includes support for Bluetooth microphones, detailed maps that don't rely on Siri, and the ability to mirror your phone. Using CarPlay makes accessing your favorite songs or audiobooks much easier.
9. Plug and Play.
10. Does NOT affect the vehicle warranty period.
11. Plug in your phone. Now you're ready to go.
Connect your phone to your car's display—your smartphone apps appear on the screen, just like that. Tap for directions or speak to send a message. Even call your mom, hands-free. CarPlay/Android Auto is designed to help you focus on the road. And have fun along the way. Just plug it in and go.
12. Get help from Siri/Google Assistant.
With Siri/Google Assistant in CarPlay/Android Auto, keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Use your voice to get help throughout the day. You can find routes, play your favorite songs, and even check the weather. Just say "Hey Google" to get started.
13. Calling and chat features to stay in touch.
Stay connected. Completely hands-free. Google Assistant can read your messages aloud. And you can type back by speaking. From making calls to using chat apps with just your voice, Android Auto makes driving less distracting.
14. Designed for the way you drive.
From the highway to the backroads and everything in between, Android Auto lets you do more while driving. That means more efficient control of your apps. And so many ways to personalize them. All powered by Android.
