To use Apple CarPlay, the car must have a compatible infotainment system and the iPhone must be connected to the car using a lightning cable or wirelessly. Once connected, the Apple CarPlay interface will appear on the car's display, allowing drivers to interact with their iPhones using either the car's touchscreen or voice commands.

One of the primary benefits of Apple CarPlay is that it allows drivers to access their iPhone's features while keeping their eyes on Santa Ana, CA roads. For example, drivers can use Siri to send and receive messages, make phone calls, and control music playback without ever having to take their hands off the steering wheel.

Apple CarPlay also includes support for third-party apps, such as Spotify, Google Maps, and Waze. This allows drivers to use their preferred apps for navigation, music playback, and other tasks, rather than being limited to Apple's own apps.
