About CarPlay
CarPlay puts key iPhone apps on your car’s built-in display. With CarPlay and your iPhone,
you can get turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, exchange text messages, listen to
music, and more. CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls, send
texts, and find destinations.
CarPlay is available on select automobiles and after-market navigation systems, and works
with iPhone 5 and later.
Note: CarPlay is available only in certain areas. Siri must be enabled on your iPhone. Go to
Settings > General > Siri.
WARNING: For important information about avoiding distractions that could lead to
dangerous situations, see .
You operate CarPlay using your car’s built-in controls—a touchscreen, a rotary knob
controller, or both. To learn how to operate your display, see the owner’s guide that came
with your car.
Or just use Siri voice control to tell CarPlay what you want. (Siri often steps in automatically
to help you, depending on the app you’re using.)
Get started
Use an Apple-approved Lightning to USB cable to connect iPhone to your car’s USB port. It
may be labeled with the CarPlay logo, the word CarPlay, or an image of a smartphone. If
your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice control button on your steering
wheel to start the CarPlay setup.
Depending on your car, the CarPlay Home screen may appear automatically.
