Does the Corolla support CarPlay?
2 Answers
Corolla supports CarPlay. CarPlay is an in-car system developed by Apple Inc. in the United States, which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. Nowadays, many car models support the CarPlay system, enabling hands-free control of the car's multimedia functions through voice commands. Here is some information about CarPlay: 1. The role of CarPlay: It allows most of the basic functions of an iPhone to be used through the car's control panel, including Siri voice assistant, iTunes music playback, Apple Maps, and messaging services. 2. CarPlay-compatible phones: CarPlay only supports iPhones with a Lightning connector.
I own a 2020 Toyota Corolla that supports CarPlay. The connection is simple—just plug in the iPhone data cable, and Apple Maps and music apps will automatically display. I rely on it daily for commuting, as it navigates the most time-efficient routes. Siri voice control makes calls and song changes safe without having to look down at the phone. I've noticed that CarPlay has been equipped in newer Corolla models since around 2019, including both hybrid and gasoline versions, but older models before 2018 probably don't have it. When buying a used car, be sure to confirm the infotainment system's year. CarPlay can also play Spotify or Apple Music, making driving more enjoyable. I particularly love its real-time traffic alerts, which help avoid traffic jams.
