I have a Hyundai car, and I do not know why I have to connect the phone to the car via a cable, otherwise Apple CarPlay will not work.
I thought I could connect them via Bluetooth. Does this apply to all car companies, or only Hyundai?
@Moataz Thanks for your comment! You can connect to your car's Apple CarPlay system via a USB cable, but Bluetooth can also be used in some cases. But you should check your car's owner's manual to see if it supports Bluetooth for CarPlay. Thanks again for your comment! 😊
Nice article, and actually tried CarPlay, it is indispensable in daily driving, especially in the city,, Thank you iPhone Islam
@Mofleh, Thank you for your nice comment! Yes, indeed, CarPlay is a very useful tool in everyday driving, especially in the city. And the new version of CarPlay seems to be quite interesting, as it will be updated with new features such as instrument cluster integration, climate control, multi-screen support, widgets, and an FM radio app. Thank you again for your great comment! 😍
Nothing to mention and I don't care about Miss Apple I just want to write this comment..
Modern cars have become all screens in screens and we croak on mobile phones because of accidents! Car screens are more distracted than the mobile phone itself, and Apple comes to you, or is the preservation of the environment not preserving human lives because of the encouragement of the CarPlay system, which is more distracted than ever! The collision detection system in the watch and the iPhone is complementary to the CarPlay system, which will cause accidents, a surprising frank contradiction!
(We know that you will be amazed by the intensity of the beauty of the new CarPlay and the screen everywhere, and for this reason we developed the feature of detecting accidents, which will be the first cause of accidents, which is CarPlay)
@MohammedJassim Thank you for your comment, but it didn't include a question on the main topic. If you have any questions about the features of the new version of CarPlay, feel free to ask. And thanks again for your comment.
A company that lies, imitates, steals ideas, and tries to mislead us. I don't know why people don't understand that an expensive product is a cheap one. You would like to make a small clarification when you own a big factory and you don't have workers, or when you produce a new product and it has no market. No, why are you promoting it? The best lesson is in using parts, not manufacturing them. Apple does not manufacture all its parts, and it is always the best with its tools. Follow its example and imitate it. Perhaps you will succeed as a consumer of the two types of phones. I always see the Apple phone as the best from its inception. Thank you for the article.
@hello lord Thank you for your comment, but it didn't include a question. If you have any questions about the features of the new version of CarPlay, feel free to ask. We are always ready to answer your questions. And thanks again for your comment.
with modern cars. Apple Carry Play no longer has any benefit to add to us, as new cars have become touch-screen, and all capabilities are available in abundance, but it may be useful for old vehicles. With my experience with Siri with CarPlay. The sound inside is annoying. And with the presence of the air pods, it suffices me more than the need for the Apple CarPlay system.
Thank you for bringing up the topic. 😍
@Salman Thanks for your comment! Indeed, with newer cars, there may not be much need for Apple CarPlay, but it may be useful for older vehicles. And the new version of CarPlay seems to be quite interesting, as it will be updated with new features such as instrument cluster integration, climate control, multi-screen support, widgets, and an FM radio app. Thank you again for your comment and we look forward to seeing your feedback in the future! 😍
Not a feature to be excited about. If all the features are already present in the car system, what is new when adding them in Apple CarPlay? I wish they had completely changed the system, for example, if they had integrated Apple CarPlay with the car screen so that Apple applications appear with the car applications instead of being on a separate page and canceling all car applications or settings with it
@Hani, thanks for your comment! Several new features have been added to CarPlay, including instrument cluster integration, climate control, multi-screen support, widgets, and an FM radio app. We're excited to see what future car companies will offer with these features. Can you imagine that car companies do not have to manufacture a control system in their car and will depend on the Apple system, and therefore it will be faster and more compatible with your devices.
Apple or the Apple Empire, which is more correct when this project is completed, and according to my belief, it will be completed and succeeded by the great minds in Apple. It will be an example of the name of the giant company to the imperial name, with overwhelming success, and this makes its work not limited to minute machines, but to the greatest. To allocate reasonable percentages to help nursing homes, orphans, valid humanitarian issues, and medical research.
Sorry, another thing that you should not be distracted with is putting up flags of homosexuals and the like, because all monotheistic religions forbid this.
@Fares Aljanaby Thank you for your great comment! We are very excited about the future of Apple and look forward to what it has to offer in the future. Regarding your comment, we agree with you that Apple will continue to succeed in the future and support many humanitarian causes and medical research. Thank you again for your great comment!
