iOS 10 remembers where you last parked your car and alerts you about it automatically. Here are the details on this new feature, including how it works.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how to create iPhone reminders that are displayed when you get in or out of car. This works with both bluetooth, and CarPlay-enabled cars.
2016 looks set to be a big year for Tesla, not just with its own business pushing forward but more and more of the traditional auto makers jumping onto the electric bandwagon. Not many will be competing with Tesla's high-end cars, but then again, it's the mid-range car like the upcoming Tesla Model 3 that the company is itself starting to focus on. When that mid-range Model 3 car do arrive later this year, it might be the first to take advantage of Tesla's new thinking as far as apps are concerned.
Apple has finally posted the full list of vehicles that are, and will be compatible with CarPlay. You can find the full list here.
Apple’s CarPlay has suffered more false starts than an old Ford, but it may finally be starting to get a foothold in the automotive world. While you can go out and buy a new Ferrari with CarPlay built in, that doesn’t help those of us with cars already parked in our garages. What we need is aftermarket solutions.
Parrot, the maker of the famous AR.Drone, isn't really known for its infotainment systems for automobiles, but its newly announced RNB 6 is attempting to change all of that.
I think that the jailbreak community has already excelled itself in terms of the quality and sheer tenacity of the tweaks we've seen since Pangu8 was rolled out last month, and with seemingly no end to how iOS can be manipulated, one ambitious developer has begun a project to port the external CarPlay software onto iPhones and iPads. Essentially, instead of using a standard infotainment system, a user would feasibly be able to mount their iOS device and use that as the complete in-auto CarPlay system, and although it's quite buggy and not yet ready for prime time, it's very promising indeed.
Alpine has finally launched an aftermarket in-dash receiver for cars that supports Apple's CarPlay for iPhone users. It was Pioneer that first offered an aftermarket receiver that was able to support CarPlay in any car. The Alpine iLX-007 is the company's first such venture, and we take a look at what it has to offer.
Earlier on this year, Apple rolled out iOS 7.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and among a number of changes, bug fixes and new additions, one of the flagship features was the introduction of CarPlay. Announced as iOS in the Car back at WWDC 2013, CarPlay means that users could remain connected while driving without distraction from the road, and not only does the feature promote road safety, but also offers a broad range of functionality thanks largely to the Siri voice assistant. It has long since been known that audio giant Pioneer would be among the first to retail its own fleet of aftermarket, CarPlay-ready infotainment systems, and today, five of its line-up will offer full-on support of Apple's in-car flavor of iOS via firmware update.
Even though we've not had a chance to properly acquaint ourselves with Apple's in-progress CarPlay technology, we'd imagine that it would be just that little bit more enjoyable to try out from a $300,000 Ferrari FF as opposed to a more regular car. With Apple showcasing its in-car flavor of iOS at this week's WWDC, attendees have been trying CarPlay for size at the wheel of the Ferrari FF super car, and luckily for us folks who haven't had the privilege, there's a walkthrough video of the new feature in action.
