CarPlay will be a standard feature in the all-new 2019 Mazda3 ('https://insidemazda.mazdausa.com/press-release/mazda-reveals-all-new-mazda3/'), excluding the base model, according to a company spokesperson. The vehicle is making its worldwide debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week and will be rolled out to global markets over the coming months, starting with North America in early 2019.

The 2019 model will be the first Mazda3 with CarPlay, accessible through the Mazda Connect infotainment system. CarPlay is also preinstalled in the 2018 and newer Mazda6, 2019 Mazda CX-5, and 2019 Mazda CX-9, with a $199 retrofit option available for select 2014 and newer Mazda vehicles ('https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/21/carplay-mazda-2014-and-newer-vehicles/') in the United States.

CarPlay will also be available as a standard feature in the 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport ('https://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/releases/nissan-announces-u-s-pricing-for-2019-rogue-sport') and 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid ('https://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/electrifying+design+meets+electrified+power+first+ever+corolla+hybrid.htm'), equipped with seven- and eight-inch touchscreens respectively. The new Rogue Sport is available now at Nissan dealerships in the United States, while the new Corolla Hybrid goes on sale in spring 2019.

Toyota and Mazda were among the last major automakers to offer factory-installed CarPlay, but each has expanded its lineup of vehicles integrated with Apple's software, which provides convenient dashboard access to apps such as Phone, Messages, Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Apple Music, and Spotify.

Toyota now offers CarPlay in the 2019 Avalon, 2019 Corolla Hatchback, 2019 RAV4, 2019 Sienna, and 2019 CH-R in the United States.

I thought of using my iPhone 8 mounted securely and with a properly installed power supply and bluetooth speaker also installed. But their is one problem: My iPhone 8 will not go into landscape mode on Home screen. It will go to landscape in every other situation and App. I have tried all the recommended fixes to date.

I was trying to get a Toyota C-HR

I love CarPlay in my Honda civic...when it works right and doesn't disconnect every 2 mins....

I have carplay in my Nissan Leaf and it has a lot to dislike. First off, I was really ticked off to find you have to hard wire your phone to the car via a USB to Lighting cable before carplay will start up - it doesn't work over BlueTooth. WTF. Also, look at all of the front panel displays for carplay systems (including the one in the first post) - they never show Contacts because that capability doesn't exist. I couldn't believe that! I have lots of notes and other useful stuff within my Contacts on my phone/Mac but that whole aspect is missing totally in action in carplay. Anyway, carplay is better than the local GUI for the parts it replaces, but the implementation could be WAY, WAY better!

meh ... I updated my 2018 Mazda6 to use CarPlay and was really disappointed in the experience. At least I didn't have to pay for it.
