Set up CarPlay with your iPhone


With select cars and stereos, you can use CarPlay to get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and more. You need an iPhone 5 or later to use CarPlay. Also, make sure that you're in an area that supports CarPlay and that Siri is on. To turn on Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri.
