Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay mirrors selected iPhone apps such as maps, music and messages on the car’s screen, with controls adapted for driving.
What is Apple CarPlay?
It works with a cable or, on supported cars, wirelessly. Siri voice control reduces the need to touch the screen. Some newer cars can show CarPlay on the instrument cluster as well. If CarPlay stops working, restarting the phone and the infotainment system often helps.
How it works
The iPhone runs the apps and sends the display image to the car, while the car sends back touch and button input.
Why it matters for your car
Use a good-quality cable; cheap cables often cause disconnections. Wireless use drains the phone battery faster.
