Everything New With CarPlay in iOS 17

Apple is introducing new functionality for almost every iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) app and feature with iOS 17 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-17/), and CarPlay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/) hasn't been left out. We haven't seen the total overhaul of ‌CarPlay‌ that Apple promised last year as of yet, but there are a handful of new features.

<h2 id="shareplay_for_the_music_app">SharePlay for the Music App</h2>

SharePlay works with the Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/) app in &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj;, which means everyone in the car, passengers included, can contribute to an &zwnj;Apple Music&zwnj; playlist.

As long as the car owner has an &zwnj;Apple Music&zwnj; subscription and initiates a SharePlay session from &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj;, other people in the car can choose music to play. Each person can scan a QR code generated by the main user to get access to the playlist to add songs to the in-car &zwnj;Apple Music&zwnj; queue.



Only the person who starts the SharePlay session has to have an &zwnj;Apple Music&zwnj; subscription. Everyone else can use &zwnj;Apple Music&zwnj; to contribute without having to pay.



<h2 id="ev_charging_station_improvements">EV Charging Station Improvements</h2>

If you have an electric vehicle, the Apple Maps (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-maps/) app can provide real-time charging availability for the charging networks that are compatible with your car. The update should make it easier for EV owners to locate nearby charging stations on a trip.



<h2 id="messages_updates">Messages Updates</h2>

The Messages app in &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; has a revamped interface that makes it easier to quickly reply and re-read a message without taking too much attention away from the road.



<h2 id="wallpaper">Wallpaper</h2>

&zwnj;iOS 17&zwnj; includes new wallpaper options, which can be expanded to the &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; interface.



<h2 id="the_all-new_carplay_experience">The All-New CarPlay Experience</h2>

Apple at WWDC 2022 previewed the next-generation version of &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj;, which will offer deeper integration with vehicles in the future. Apple did not talk about the new &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; experience at WWDC 2023 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/wwdc/), but the company did say in 2022 that the first cars with the updated technology will be coming in late 2023.

&zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; will support multiple displays, showing up across all of the displays in a vehicle, including the instrument cluster. Apple will be able to offer a consistent experience throughout the car, and &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; will integrate with the speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and more.

The vehicle's climate controls will also be accessible through &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; in upcoming vehicles, letting users adjust temperature and activate other in-car climate features through the &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; interface.



With the revamped &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; experience slated for a 2023 launch, we can likely expect to see additional &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; features coming in future &zwnj;iOS 17&zwnj; updates. Car brands that will support next-generation &zwnj;CarPlay&zwnj; include Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, and Volvo.
