and simplicity of Apple Maps are available on your dashboard.
BMW
CarPlay can predict where you're going using
addresses from your email,
text messages, contacts, and calendar. You can search along
your route for nearby gas stations, restaurants, coffee shops, and
more. Or just use your voice: “Siri, where's the closest EV
charging station?” And CarPlay
does not just guide you – it helps get you there safely by advising which
lane to turn, and showing the speed limit.
PHONE –Â 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 ARE NOW
LISTENING AND DICTATING.
Siri can read, reply, and
send text messages to you, so you never have to look at your iPhone while
driving. Just say “Siri, tell Blair I'll be there in 20 minutes,”
and it's done. BMW CarPlay can also play audio messages through the car's
speakers.
MUSIC
SPOTIFY / DEEZER / TIDAL –Â ALL
YOUR MUSIC. BEAUTIFULLY ARRANGED.
Access all your content from iTunes, your Apple Music membership, 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 favorite song by Arcade Fire or act as your personal
DJ.

What is Apple
CarPlay?
Apple CarPlay is a
system that allows you to view content from your iPhone on your car’s
infotainment screen. It also means you can make calls, listen to music, use
sat-nav, and dictate text messages on your iPhone without taking your hands
off the steering wheel.
Users connect
their iPhones to the car either by using a USB port or via a Bluetooth
connection.
As well as Apple’s own
phone, messaging, iTunes, and maps apps, third-party apps including Spotify,
Audible, and Stitcher are currently supported, with that list expected to
grow as the technology develops.
Drivers Apple Control CarPlay in the same way as they
would the car's own infotainment system, by using buttons, rotary dials, and
a touchscreen if fitted. As well as this, Apple's Siri service allows drivers
to issue voice commands, including dictating messages to be sent via the
iPhone. The system can also read incoming messages.
