In the past WWDC, the SVP of Apple Craig Federighi announced officially the update of CarPlay and other important functions on iOS devices. First, the CarPaly system will be used on more different cars with different display sizes and high-DPI screens. Sounds good? The appearance of the whole system and user experience makes people fall in love with it.
Moreover, this new updated CarPlay is compatible with apps from automakers that you have the right to control car features through CarPlay. Can't understand clearly? That is, you can control the radio and temperature in your car without leaving the CarPlay interface.
Do you know that iPhone can connect your car wirelessly? You need to know. The only precondition is that your car supports wireless connection to iPhone. Everything will become easy. No USB cable needed for playing the audio messages and making calls with your friends.
Up to now, CarPlay works with iPhone5 series and iPhone 6 series. That means, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the coming iPhone 6s.
Tap "Settings" on the screen of your iPhone to find "General", you will find "CarPlay" clearly if you have upgrade your iOS operating system to iOS 8.3 and above.
A disadvantage of this CarPlay is its territorial restrictions. That is, some country cannot use this function up to now, such as China.
