With the continuous development of science and technology, the automobile has gradually become an intelligent terminal in the Internet era. To meet consumer demand for a smarter driving experience, many vehicle manufacturers are introducing CarPlay, an in-car entertainment system developed by Apple. CarPlay can map the app on your iPhone to the vehicle's central control screen, making the driving process more convenient and intelligent. However, not all vehicles support CarPlay. So, how exactly should we tell if a car supports carplay?
First of all, we need to be clear that CarPlay is an in-car entertainment system developed by Apple. Therefore, if a car supports CarPlay, it will inevitably need to connect with Apple's iPhone. In this case, the central display in the vehicle will display applications connected to the phone, including navigation, information, and more. Therefore, the first step to determine whether a car supports CarPlay is to see whether the car supports interconnection with iPhone.
In this regard, we can look at it from two angles.
First, we can look at the hardware of the vehicle. Some high-end vehicles will have a special interface for connecting to the iPhone. After this interface is connected to the iPhone, the application on the phone can be operated through the control buttons on the vehicle. In this case, the vehicle automatically recognizes the phone and displays the app connected to the phone. Moreover, this connection is carried out by wire, so the connection stability and transmission speed are relatively high.
Second, for some ordinary models, due to cost and technical reasons, they are not specially equipped with interfaces to connect with iPhones. However, that doesn't mean that these vehicles don't support CarPlay. In fact, Apple also provides CarPlay support for wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and as long as the vehicle supports these wireless connection technologies, it will be able to achieve CarPlay connection with the iPhone. This connection also allows the iPhone-connected app to be displayed on the vehicle's central control screen, and can achieve an interactive experience similar to that of a wired connection.
