Apple CarPlay makes it possible to integrate your iPhone and the infotainment system in your vehicle. It's our Brownsville, TX Luke Fruia Motors team's absolute favorite iPhone standard. More than likely, it's already built into your vehicle. It's been a standard on iPhones since iPhone 5 devices running iOS 7.1 or better. Here's what it does.
Apple CarPlay offers lists upon lists of features. The most obvious is its ability to replicate your iPhone's home screen on your vehicle's infotainment center touchscreen. This gives you access to all of your iPhone's entertainment and communications features via your car's infotainment touchscreen. Plus, voice command capabilities remain intact, so you can access your iPhone and its wonders without having to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.
