A smarter and safer way to use your iPhone while driving is Apple CarPlay.

Does my vehicle support Apple CarPlay?
Not all new vehicles have Apple CarPlay, but many do. To find out if your vehicle is CarPlay compatible, check your vehicle's owner's manual or go to this Apple website to check which vehicles support CarPlay. You can also check the infotainment system or dashboard of your vehicle for the CarPlay logo. If you're still not sure, try using a USB cable to connect your iPhone to your vehicle and check to see if the CarPlay interface shows up on the dashboard.
