About CarPlay

CarPlay puts key iPhone apps—the ones you want to use while driving—on your car’s built-in

display. With CarPlay, you can get turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, exchange text

messages, listen to music, and more. CarPlay is available on select automobiles and after-market

navigation systems, and works with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5.

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

Important safety information

on page 183.

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 user guide that came with your car.

Or just use Siri voice control to tell CarPlay what you want. In fact, 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 words CarPlay, or an image of a smartphone.

Depending on your car, the CarPlay Home screen may appear automatically. If not, select the

CarPlay logo on your car’s display.
