Does the Camry have CarPlay?
2 Answers
The Camry does not have CarPlay. Currently, the Camry does not support CarPlay. The introduction and control methods of CarPlay are as follows: Introduction to CarPlay: CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the United States, seamlessly integrating users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. Methods to control CarPlay: Siri: You can communicate with the car through Siri, instructing it on what to do next. You can also hear the system read out messages received on your phone and reply using voice dictation. Touchscreen display: Some cars that support CarPlay are equipped with a touchscreen display, allowing you to open or close apps on a relatively simple home screen. Physical buttons: Cars with physical buttons can control CarPlay, with functions like volume control and track switching seamlessly integrated.
As an average car owner who has driven a Camry for several years, my 2020 Camry comes with CarPlay functionality, which is quite practical. Before purchasing, I confirmed with the dealer that Camry models from 2019 onwards support Apple CarPlay, but only via USB connection—wireless usage isn't available. I use it daily for commuting, mainly for navigation and playing music, as the operation is straightforward. Older models, such as those before 2017, don't have this feature, so friends buying used cars should carefully check the infotainment system model. CarPlay integration enhances driving safety by minimizing phone distractions. If the car doesn't natively support it, consider adding an aftermarket CarPlay box to significantly improve driving convenience.
