You can use other apps even when getting directions. CarPlay lets you know when it’s time to make a
turn.
Display likely destinations. Tap Destinations.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop.”
Phone
CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls. Use Show Contacts to bring up
your favorites, recent calls, list of contacts, keypad, and voicemail.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
“Call Emily”
“Return my last call”
“What voicemails have I gotten?”
Messages
When you open Messages, Siri steps in automatically to read your incoming text messages or let you
dictate a new one. Let Siri help you send, hear, and reply to text messages.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
“Read my text messages”
“Text my wife”
“Tell Emily I’m in traffic and I’ll be 15 minutes late to the meeting”
Music
Use Music to access the music on your iPhone—including songs, artists, albums, and playlists. Or
tune in to Radio. CarPlay also lets you use other audio apps that you download to your iPhone for
podcasts, music, and radio. Use the Now Playing screen to control playback, or use the controls on
your car’s steering wheel.
