SOFTWARE

 CarPlay provides access to Apple apps such as Phone,

Music, Apple Maps, iMessages, iBooks, and Podcasts,
as well as third-party apps such
as iHeartRadio, Radioplayer, Spotify, Radio.com, Overcas
t, Pocket Casts, Google Play Music, Clammr, NPR One,
Audiobooks.com, and Audible.
 Developers must apply to Apple for entitlement to develop
CarPlay-enabled apps.Limited support for Google
Maps and Waze was released in iOS 12 in Sept 2018.

 CarPlay also extends Siri support, using voice dictation

and feedback as the primary means of input for text
messages, or narrating comprehensive weather and stock
reports instead of displaying a weather chart.
 Siri inhibits certain voice commands such as displaying
web search results when CarPlay is in use.
HARDWARE
 While most of the CarPlay software runs
on the connected iPhone, the CarPlay
interface provides the audio and display
connection to the car's infotainment
system. Depending on the car maker's
implementation, CarPlay is controlled
through the touch screen, rotary cursor
dial, trackpad, or buttons on the
instrument cluster and steering wheel.
 CarPlay is also supported on specialized
aftermarket head units or as a dongle
attachment to another tablet computer.
MANUFACTURERS
 Cars with CarPlay are available from
most major brands.
 Manufacturers with no CarPlay models
include Lada,Tesla Motors, and Infiniti,
which has announced 2019 availability.
 Aftermarket head units can be
purchased
from Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, Pioneer,
Sony, and JVC.
HISTORY
 Predecessor
 The concept of CarPlay was based on the little known (and used) Apple
iOS 4 feature called "iPod Out" that was the result of a joint
development between the BMW Group's Technology Office USA in
Palo Alto, California, and Apple Inc.
 The result of several years of exploratory cooperation, iPod Out
enabled vehicles with the necessary infrastructure to "host" the analog
video and audio from a supporting iOS device while receiving inputs,
such as button presses and knob rotations from a car's infotainment
system, to drive the "hosted" user interface in the vehicle's built-in
display.
 The iOS feature was first announced during WWDC in 2010 and first
shipped as an implemented infrastructure in BMW Group vehicles
starting in early 2011.
 The BMW and Mini option was called "PlugIn" and paved the way for
the first cross-OEM platforms, introducing the concept of requiring a
car-specific interface for apps (as opposed to MirrorLink's simple and
insufficient mirroring of what was shown on the smartphone's screen

interact with vehicle software systems.

CarPlay takes the things that you want to do with your iPhone while driving
and puts them on your car's built-in display.

When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay, you can get turn-by-turn
directions, make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and more.

CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls, send texts,
and find destinations.

CarPlay uses Siri Voice Control, so you can ask for what you want while you're
driving allowing you to stay focused on the road.

CarPlay even works with the built-in controls in your car like a touchscreen,
knob, or button.
