It's also as intuitive as your iPhone and works in a very familiar way, though not identical to your iPhone. The biggest difference is that only a few of the apps on your iPhone will appear on your car's display through CarPlay. Interface and controlsĪpple CarPlay essentially turns your car's built-in display into a giant iPhone. This section details what some of the various elements of CarPlay offer - including WhatsApp, Google Maps and Messages, as well as how the main interface works. That changed with iOS 13 in 2019. It's not something we would suggest you do if you are driving, but the latest version of CarPlay allows you to use your iPhone at the same time as you use CarPlay, without changing what's on the car's screen - which would have happened previously. When CarPlay first arrived, it wasn't possible to use your iPhone at the same time if it was being used for CarPlay. If you want to switch back to the default order, tap on 'Reset' in the top right of the Customise screen.
You can reorder how the apps appear by moving them up and down using the three lines to the right of the app on the list. Tap on the red circle next to an app to add or remove it from your car's display. You can choose whether to allow CarPlay to work when your iPhone is locked, as well as select 'Customise' to add and organise how the CarPlay apps appear on your car's display. Tapping on your car in the list on your iPhone will then offer more settings options. You can also press and hold the voice control button on your car's steering wheel to start setup. From here, there is a My Cars section where you should see your CarPlay-compatible car appear. If you're having issues, head into the Settings icon on your iPhone > General > CarPlay. The Apple CarPlay icon should then appear on your car's built in display and from here you'll be able to get to the CarPlay interface with a simple tap. You'll need a Lightning cable which you'll need to plug into a USB socket in the front of the car and then into your iPhone, unless you have a car that offers wireless connection, like the BMW 5 Series.

Naturally, CarPlay only supports Apple iPhones and is compatible with models from the iPhone 5 and newer running iOS 7 and above. CarPlay can also be controlled with the knobs, dials and buttons in your car though, as well as the touchscreen. At the heart of CarPlay is Apple's personal assistant Siri, enabling you to do tasks such as make a call, dictate and send a message or have a received message read out to you all through voice control.
