CarPlay provides hands-free or eyes-free access to Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Podcasts and third-party apps including Spotify, Rdio, iHeartRadio, CBS Radio and MLB At Bat.

No kidding. I keep reading that cars, sedans for sure, are on the decline because people like me prefer SUV's and trucks. What can I say, I like to sit a bit taller with room for more than one passenger.

Yeah, my next car would ideally be a high-clearance 4x4 so I could get to some hard to reach places (off-road in national parks and forests for landscape photography) and apart from the Tiguan there isn't much... And like, almost every other Chevrolet is listed, but the Trax, then no Mazda, no Jeep, no Toyota... Although somewhat of a minor feature, I would much rather my next car comes with it...

A lot or marquees don't appear on the list because they are owned by their parent brand. The only ones it appears not participating are Aston Martin, Lotus, and Tesla.


I disagree with your assumption. The list of non participants appears to be accurate. I did research and Bentley is not investigating CarPlay at this time (http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/03/13/apple-inc-drives-carplay-adoption-deep-into-the-auto-industry-at-least-outside-of-china). Lexus, which is owned by Toyota but not on Apple's list, is also not considering CarPlay at this time (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/040b2996b1e14ccf81fe19f2232773ef/car-brands-plans-apple-carplay-googles-android-auto). Apple SEPARATELY lists all makes from Fiat Chrysler as CarPlay partners: Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram. So it would appear that Apple is listing not just "parent brands" but all brands.

It feels silly to base my car purchase on carplay. But then I think about it. I keep cars for about 10 years. I spend about 2 hours or so a day in the car. I think this really is a non-negotiable for me. I've got a few more years on my current car (08 jeep compass) but I will definitely have carplay in my next car. Jeep, and other announced partners, and beyond, really need to get going on this.

I don't think this is a deal breaker for everyone, but i do think it's a growing number.
