CarPlay Overview Updated October 17, 2017
CarPlay is an iOS feature that makes using your iPhone simpler and easier while in the car.
Here’s how Apple describes CarPlay:
Available on select cars, CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your car’s built-in display. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music, all in a way that allows you to stay focused on the road. Just connect your iPhone and go.
