The in-vehicle user interface makes your car's infotainment system almost obsolete.
If you're like us, your car and iPhone are two of the most important devices in your daily routine. This system integrates your vehicle and your Apple mobile device. Here are some basic details about Apple CarPlay you need to know to get started.
What is CarPlay?
CarPlay is a program that allows your iPhone to interact with your car's integrated entertainment and information system (known as the infotainment system—essentially, its dashboard screen). CarPlay maximizes benefits and reduces distractions by placing frequently used apps that would be essential or particularly useful while driving on your car's infotainment screen. In this way, CarPlay reduces the need to physically operate your iPhone while driving.
What does Apple CarPlay do?
CarPlay allows you to display and control some iPhone apps on your car's infotainment system. When connected, CarPlay typically bypasses the functionality provided by your car's native infotainment system.
For example, most new cars have Bluetooth. When making a phone call, the car's built-in speakers and microphone manage the audio. When CarPlay is connected, the call is handled in the same way. However, your car's infotainment screen displays a layout similar to the phone app on your iPhone. Contacts, favorites, recent calls, and even voicemails from your iPhone appear on the infotainment screen.
Regardless of whether your car has a built-in navigation system, CarPlay can display popular navigation apps on your infotainment screen. This is an example of how CarPlay can extend the functionality of your car or enhance features it already has.
WHAT ELSE DOES THE FUTURE BRING FOR CARPLAY?
More and more cars are abandoning the original physical connections. The functionality is similar, just without the physical connection between the phone and the car – wireless CarPlay works instead.
How to Reduce Risk While Driving with Siri
To support its mission of minimizing distractions while driving, CarPlay limits some of your iPhone's standard features. You can't do everything in CarPlay that you can do by simply holding your phone. Instead, the digital assistant Siri helps you do that.
When you receive a message, you'll see a notification on your CarPlay infotainment screen. When you touch it, Siri will read the message aloud.
Siri can do many things in CarPlay. There are several ways to activate Siri in CarPlay. Another way is to hold down the CarPlay home button on the infotainment screen, which looks like two rows of squares, or the CarPlay dashboard button, which looks like a square and lines.
Which cars have wireless Apple CarPlay?
In 2022, only niche or outdated cars didn't have CarPlay. A few manufacturers—Ferrari, for example—offer CarPlay for an additional fee. However, most cars in our 2021 rankings have CarPlay as standard. This demonstrates how two of our most important, useful devices are becoming increasingly interconnected.
Apple maintains a list of car makes, models, and years compatible with CarPlay. Check it out here.
