Apple CarPlay Reviews and Articles

Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay allows you to take your iPhone on the road with you without missing a beat, so you can safely access everything you need from your iPhone through its seamless integration. The system is even available on select motorcycles. With Siri Eyes Free, the driver can easily enjoy a smartphone’s benefit while safely driving a vehicle.

While there are other programs similar to Apple CarPlay, like Android Auto, there are some differences. It’s essential to understand what the system does and any tips and tricks that can help you navigate through it.

As more manufacturers make the switch to Apple CarPlay, there is an option available to put the system in older cars as well. Since it is growing in popularity, it is important to understand what to do when it is not working correctly. This is a great place to start to understand better how the system works, what vehicles it is compatible with, and what to do when it is not working.
