What is Apple CarPlay®?

For Bartow drivers who are unfamiliar, Apple CarPlay® helps take your driving experience to new heights. This feature allows a driver to connect their iPhone to the vehicle so they can get turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, listen to music, or send and receive text messages without having to take their eyes off the road or their hands off the steering wheel. Stay focused on the Winter Haven roads and read on to see how to connect Apple CarPlay® in your vehicle!

1. First, make sure that your Cadillac supports Apple CarPlay®. Also, be sure you’re in an area where the Apple CarPlay® technology will work because CarPlay® is not available in every region.
2. Start your vehicle, then check to see if Siri is on.

1. If your vehicle supports CarPlay® via a USB cable, go ahead and plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The USB port may be labeled with a CarPlay® or smartphone icon.
2. If you have a vehicle that supports wireless CarPlay®, press and hold the voice-command button on the steering wheel. Be sure your radio is either in Bluetooth® or wireless mode. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay®, then tap available cars, and select your vehicle. Refer to your owner’s manual for additional information.
