Title: Apple Adds Several New CarPlay Partners, Including Fiat Chrysler Brands and Mazda Post by: HCK on July 03, 2014, 09:00:18 pm Apple Adds Several New CarPlay Partners, Including Fiat Chrysler Brands and Mazda
Apple today expanded its list of automobile manufacturer partners that plan to support CarPlay (https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/) in future models, adding a number of brands from the Fiat Chrysler group: Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram. Also officially joining the list of CarPlay partners today is Mazda (via Wired (http://www.wired.com/2014/06/carplay-android-auto-automakers/)). These additions follow a recent announcement (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/27/audi-carplay-2015/) by Audi, which plans to integrate Apple's CarPlay system into its vehicles beginning in 2015. (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/03/carplay_3.jpg) These new partners join existing CarPlay partners Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, GM, and Honda, which are introducing CarPlay compatible vehicles before the end of the year, and a number of other brands promising future support. Besides new cars, Alpine (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/13/alpine-carplay-console/) and Pioneer (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/24/pioneer-carplay-interview/) also are adding CarPlay support to their aftermarket consoles, allowing owners of existing automobiles to adopt Apple's in-dash car technology. CarPlay (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/03/apple-announces-carplay/) uses an automobile's built-in dashboard display to provide hands-free operation of your iPhone. Drivers will be able to take advantage of the Siri-powered technology to make calls, receive messages, get directions and listen to music while keeping their eyes on the road.
