CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or automotive head unit to be a display and controller for an iOS device. It is available on iPhone 5 and later models running iOS 7.1 or later.
More than 800 car models support CarPlay, according to Apple.[1] Vehicle owners can add support by installing certain aftermarket vehicle audio products.[2]
Most CarPlay systems connect to iOS through USB,[2] some are wireless,[3] and wireless support can be added through aftermarket dongles.[4]
