What Is the Apple CarPlay App?

If you’ve never used Apple CarPlay before, you might be wondering how it works. Apple CarPlay allows you to connect your iPhone to your car, which lets you get real-time directions, make phone calls, listen to music or podcasts, send and receive texts, and more as you drive around St. Paul. The best part is that when you drive a car with Apple CarPlay, you can do all of these things and so much more without ever having to lift a finger off of the steering wheel. 

How to Set Up Apple CarPlay In Your Car

Here’s how to set up the Apple CarPlay app in your car: 

  1. Make sure you’re driving a car that supports Apple CarPlay
  2. Make sure you’re in an area or areas where Apple CarPlay works. You’d be surprised, but not every area has Apple CarPlay service available. 
  3. Once you know you’re driving a car with Apple CarPlay, start your car. 
  4. Check to see if Siri pops up. 
  5. If you see Siri pop up, connect your iPhone to your car. 
  6. If your car can support the Apple CarPlay app, with a USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port. 
  7. If your car has wireless Apple CarPlay available, push and hold the voice-command button on the steering wheel. Make sure the radio is in Bluetooth or Wireless mode. 
  8. On your phone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay. 
  9. Tap “Available Cars”, and select your car.

  1. On your phone, go to Settings > General. 
  2. Hit “CarPlay”. 
  3. Choose your car if it asks for available cars.
