For most people, a smartphone is as much a part of their life as their car. Although they have different functions, they’re equally essential in getting you throughout your day. So why shouldn’t they work together? With Apple CarPlay, they can. If you have an iPhone, you can easily connect to your vehicle. Not sure how Apple CarPlay works?

What is Apple CarPlay?
Most vehicles like the Mitsubishi Outlander or Eclipse Cross have a built-in touchscreen with functions like navigation, music, and more. Apple CarPlay takes it a step further by fully integrating your smartphone into the infotainment system, allowing you to access your favorite apps right from the home screen.
Although some older vehicles might require you to connect with a compatible cable, most new models have built-in wireless Apple CarPlay for seamless connectivity. Intuitively sync your iPhone to CarPlay and you’re ready to go!
What can Apple CarPlay do?
While some functions may be limited for safety reasons, Apple CarPlay allows you to essentially use your vehicle as a hands-free smartphone. Use Siri to get directions, make a phone call, and read and reply to text messages. Access your favorite navigation apps by asking Siri to take you to the nearest Italian restaurant, movie theater, or public charging station to power up your Outlander Plug-In Hybrid. You can even share your estimated arrival time with one of your contacts.
Continue your conversation by voice or text through your touchscreen after starting your vehicle. Ask Siri to read and reply to your messages, all without taking your eyes off the road. In between messages, you can also listen to your favorite music, podcasts, or news with voice controls.
Apple CarPlay is compatible with the iPhone 5 and newer – just keep your phone’s software up to date!
