●     Hands-Free Messaging: With Apple CarPlay, you can keep your eyes on the road and still send that text you’ve been needing to send. Simply tell Siri what you’d like to say, and your message will be sent for you. Siri will also read your incoming texts out loud so you won’t have to look down at your phone.

●     Find Your Way with Maps: Apple CarPlay adds a new level of efficiency to navigation. Not only does Apple CarPlay help you get to your destination with Apple Maps, but it also uses addresses from your texts, contacts, or calendars to predict your destination. It’ll also help you explore your surroundings by showing 3D landmarks, must-see destinations, and nearby locations in unprecedented detail.

●     Turn Your iPhone into Your Car Keys: Apple CarPlay lets you unlock your vehicle and start it up directly from your iPhone. You can access this feature even after your phone dies for up to five hours.

●     Keep Up with Your Calendar: Use your Calendar app with Apple CarPlay to view your upcoming schedule and plan your day from the road.
