Set Up Apple CarPlay®: Step-by-Step

What is Apple CarPlay®?

Every CDJR model comes with tons of in-vehicle technology features and entertainment functions. However, for many of our neighbors near New Orleans, nothing can beat the familiar look and feel of the smartphone apps that you already use every day! 

Apple CarPlay® (and the similar Android Auto® feature) are designed to reduce risk and improve your user experience by making everyone’s favorite apps accessible from your vehicle’s home screen. In CDJR models, the Apple CarPlay® apps allow you to:

• Make and receive phone calls
• Access your favorite music and podcasts via iTunes®
• Use Apple Maps® to get around town
• Send and read text messages aloud
• Play and enjoy audiobooks that are saved to your phone

That’s right: You can do this all without ever picking up your phone. You can make the experience even safer by activating Siri® and enabling voice commands!
