I just saw Apple CarPlay in its near-final form. A black minivan pulled up to my office, and black-clad representatives from Pioneer Electronics showed me the highly anticipated, supposedly seamless marriage of iPhone to car, as it will look in the company’s NEX infotainment systems.</p><p>
It looks really easy: Plug in your phone, and CarPlay starts automatically, changing the display to the CarPlay interface. You can use your iPhone’s contacts, music, and some other data through your car’s display. (CarPlay works only with the iPhone 5 or higher running iOS 7.1 or later; you’ll need a Lightning connector cable, too.) </p><figure class="large "><a class="zoom" href="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/05/apple_carplay_pioneer_nex_infotainment_system_may_2014-100268169-orig.jpg">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/05/apple_carplay_pioneer_nex_infotainment_system_may_2014-100268169-large.jpg)[/url] <small class="credit">Image: Dan Masaoka</small> <figcaption>

To start CarPlay, plug your phone into the infotainment system, and CarPlay will start automatically. </p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2147901/carplay-for-the-rest-of-us-pioneer-demos-apples-interface-in-its-nex-infotainment-systems.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
