CarPlay is supported by models from Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, and Volvo. Other car brands that will gradually support CarPlay include BMW, Toyota, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Subaru, Suzuki, and Ford. The method to use CarPlay in an Audi Q3 is: 1. Start the car and activate the CarPlay system; 2. Connect via USB for pairing. Taking the 2021 Audi Q3 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4495mm, width 1848mm, height 1616mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and trunk capacity 450L.

I often tinker with car equipment and found that many new cars support CarPlay, which allows my iPhone screen to be displayed on the car's infotainment system. Among mainstream brands, Honda's latest Civic and CR-V models mostly come equipped with it, while Toyota's Camry and RAV4 also support it. Ford's Focus and Mustang are good options too, and premium models like BMW's X5 or Mercedes-Benz's C-Class even offer wireless CarPlay for added convenience. Some cars require a wired connection—just plug in via USB, and they're compatible with older iPhones. I recommend checking Apple's official compatibility list or consulting the dealer before buying a car to avoid purchasing an unsupported model year. Aftermarket devices like Alpine's adapter can also retrofit older cars, spending a little money to upgrade the system, making navigation and music much more convenient while driving.

My old Ford has become much more convenient after installing CarPlay, no more getting lost during daily commutes. Many cars support it now, like the Chevrolet Blazer and Subaru Outback among American and Japanese models, and German cars like the Audi A4 are also common. If you're unsure whether your car supports it, start the engine, plug in your phone, and see if the Apple App launches, or check the user manual for connectivity features. I've tried it with a used Kia Seltos, which was also compatible—cost-effective and practical. CarPlay connects via Bluetooth for safer driving, much better than fiddling with your phone, reducing accident risks. New car models update compatibility yearly, so researching beforehand saves trouble.

When my family was changing cars, we specifically chose models that support CarPlay, which makes things super convenient. Both the Honda Accord and Hyundai Tucson come with it as standard, allowing easy access to navigation and music with just one click. Common affordable family cars like the Toyota Prius and Nissan Qashqai also often feature it. Before buying, it's crucial to test drive and connect your phone to ensure it works properly. Regular software updates often enhance functionality, like new iPhone systems adapting to more car models.
