The CarPlay System Lets You Use Your iPhone Wirelessly While You Drive

— June 6, 2014 — Autos
If you’re looking for a safe way to use your smartphone while you drive, the CarPlay system cleverly merges your iPhone screen into your vehicle with a high-tech dashboard display.

The CarPlay display system ingeniously combines the functions you wish you could do on your smartphone -- like answer calls, change your music, use the GPS or reply to messages -- and merges them directly into your car’s dashboard display. Rather than activating these functions via touch, the CarPlay system uses the Siri voice control feature so you can keep your eyes on the road while you drive. Vehicles with the integrated CarPlay technology will have a Siri voice control button conveniently equipped into the steering wheel.

The CarPlay system is currently available in several popular 2014 vehicle models.
