CarPlay certification

Nowadays, cars have reached the edge of the next generation, but most manufacturers are still standing aside and looking inside, trying to come up with a few small things to whet consumers' appetite, while some manufacturers are trying to enter the next generation. The older generation of car buyers do not have high technological requirements, but the new generation of young consumers will only think: If you have a next generation to put in my car, as long as it is capable of showing off and practical, I can accept it. Regarding the next generation of car technology, I think the most well-known one is Apple's CarPlay. After CarPlay, many internet giants followed suit and launched various car systems. However, fundamentally speaking, CarPlay is Apple's system, which is worth exploring and using.

1、 CarPlay Introduction | Introduction

Formerly known as iOS in the Car program. CarPlay is an intelligent in car system that seamlessly integrates car users' iOS devices and iOS user experience with the car's instrument system.

CarPlay is not only equipped with Siri voice control functions designed specifically for driving scenarios, but can also be used in conjunction with car control devices such as knobs, buttons, or touch screens. In addition, the design of the app itself has been redesigned, allowing you to use it without having to move your gaze or hands while driving.

3、 CarPlay Functions

1. If the user's car is equipped with CarPlay, they can connect to devices such as iPhones and interact with them using the car's built-in display screen and control keys, or Siri's visuals free feature. Users can easily and safely make phone calls, listen to music, send and receive messages, use navigation, and more.

2. CarPlay can use most of the basic functions of an iPhone through the car's control panel. Some of the features include Siri voice assistant tool, iTunes music playback, Apple Maps, and SMS service. Through CarPlay, drivers can answer and make phone calls without leaving the steering wheel with both hands, and they can also hear the content of voice mail. To use these features in an iPhone, the driver can touch the driving control panel inside the car, just like touching the phone, which can reduce interference with driving. Additionally, through a button on the steering wheel, the driver can trigger Siri.
