Car keys and CarPlay.
A smarter ride from start to finish.

With digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

Car keys

Unlock and start your car with your iPhone.

Beginning with select 2021 car models, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. Sharing keys with friends or family is easy too. Car keys will even work for up to five hours after your iPhone battery runs out.1

CarPlay

The ultimate copilot.

CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and enjoy your favourite music. All on your car’s built-in display. And CarPlay now features more app categories and custom wallpapers for your CarPlay Dashboard.

Maps

Let your iPhone
show you the way.

The power and simplicity of Apple Maps is available in your car. CarPlay can predict where you’re going using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts and calendars. And with the detailed city experience, you can explore cities with unprecedented detail for roads, neighbourhoods, trees, buildings and more. Visit amazing 3D landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge in both the day and dark mode maps. One‑tap access to your go‑to and must‑see destinations also helps you find more to see and do when you get there — whether you’re searching for points of interest, driving to a favourite restaurant or looking for nearby gas stations.

Phone

The road is calling.

Make calls, return missed calls and listen to voicemail.
Siri can help you do all of these things. All you have to
do is ask.

Messages

Reading and writing is now

listening and dictating.

You can send audio messages with Siri on iOS and CarPlay, so you
never have to look at your iPhone while driving. And you can have Siri announce your incoming messages, then simply speak to reply. You can
also ask Siri to share your ETA with someone from your contacts list while navigating with Apple Maps, to help keep everyone who needs to know
in the know.

Music

All your music.
Beautifully arranged.

Access all your content from your Apple Music subscription and additional audio apps using your car’s built‑in controls. Search by artist, album or song. See what’s playing and what’s up next. You can ask Siri to play your favourite song by Charlotte Cardin, act as your personal DJ or stream one of
more than 100,000 live radio stations — and let everyone in the car add to what's playing with SharePlay. And in iOS 17.2 and later, CarPlay includes development support for Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos — so automakers can create more immersive sound experiences in their vehicles.

Calendar

Stay on top of your day

when you’re on the road.

The Calendar app gives you a quick, simple view of the day ahead
while you’re on the go. And if you have a meeting, you can just tap to get directions or dial in, using your car’s speakers and microphones to keep
your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Control with a word.


Or a touch. Or a twist.

CarPlay with Siri voice control is specially designed for driving scenarios. CarPlay also works with your car’s controls — knobs, buttons, touchpad or touchscreen. And the apps themselves have been reimagined for the car, so you can use them while your eyes and hands stay where they belong.

Siri

To activate Siri voice control, just press and hold the voice control button on the steering wheel.

Touch

If your CarPlay-equipped vehicle has a touchscreen, you can use it to control CarPlay.

Knobs and Controls

CarPlay also works with the knobs, dials or buttons in the car. If it controls your screen, it controls CarPlay.

Next generation of CarPlay

This next generation of CarPlay is the ultimate iPhone experience for the car. It provides content for all the driver’s screens including the instrument cluster. This ensures a cohesive design experience that is the very best of your car and your iPhone — with designs for each automaker that express your vehicle’s character and brand. Vehicle functions like radio and temperature controls are handled right from CarPlay. And personalization options ranging from widgets to selecting curated gauge cluster designs make it unique to the driver.

First models arrive in 2024

Invite more apps

along for the ride.

CarPlay supports other apps on your iPhone — like your favourite audio, messaging and voice apps, along with apps in categories like third-party parking, EV charging, quick food ordering, fuelling and driving task apps. Apps developed by car manufacturers are also supported, so you can control more of your car’s features without ever leaving CarPlay.2 You can personalize your experience by rearranging exactly how your apps appear in CarPlay through settings on your iPhone. And app developers now have access to a variety of tools and templates that enable them to provide smarter, safer ways to use iPhone in the car.
