Car keys and CarPlay.
A smarter ride from start to finish.

With new digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can now unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

Car keys

Unlock and start your car with your iPhone.

Beginning with select new 2021 car models, you can now unlock and start your car with iPhone. Sharing keys with friends or family is easy too. You can also create restricted profiles, perfect for new drivers. Car keys will even work for up to five hours after your iPhone battery runs out.1

CarPlay

The ultimate copilot.

CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and enjoy your favorite music. All on your car's built-in display. And with iOS 14, CarPlay introduces all-new app categories and custom wallpapers for your CarPlay Dashboard.

Maps

Let your iPhone
show you the way.

The power and simplicity of Apple Maps is available in your car. CarPlay can predict where you're going using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars. And with a more detailed map, turn‑by‑turn spoken directions, and immersive 3D experiences, it's easier than ever to get where you need to go. One‑tap access to your go‑to and must‑see destinations also helps you find more to see and do when you get there — whether you're searching for points of interest, driving to a favorite restaurant, or looking for nearby gas stations.

Phone

The road is calling.

Make calls, return missed calls, and listen to voicemail. Siri can help you do all of these things. All you have to do is ask.

Messages

Reading and writing is now

listening and dictating.

You can now send audio messages with Siri on iOS and CarPlay, so you never have to look at your iPhone while driving. You can also ask Siri to share your ETA with someone from your contacts list while navigating with Apple  Maps, to help keep everyone who needs to know in the know.

Music

All your music.
Beautifully arranged.

Access all your content from your Apple Music subscription and additional audio apps using your car's built‑in controls. Search by artist, album, or song. See what's playing and what's up next. You can ask Siri to play your favorite song by Arcade Fire, act as your personal DJ, or stream one of more than 100,000 live radio stations.

Calendar

Stay on top of your day

when you're on the road.

The Calendar app gives you a quick, simple view of the day ahead while you're on the go. And if you have a meeting, you can just tap to get directions or dial in, using your car's speakers and microphones to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Control with a word.

Or a touch. Or a twist.

CarPlay with Siri voice control is specially designed for driving scenarios. CarPlay also works with your car's controls — knobs, buttons, touchpad, or touchscreen. And the apps themselves have been reimagined for the car, so you can use them while your eyes and hands stay where they belong.

Siri

To activate Siri voice control, just press and hold the voice control button on the steering wheel.

Touch

If your CarPlay-equipped vehicle has a touchscreen, you can use it to control CarPlay.

Knobs and Controls

CarPlay also works with the knobs, dials, or buttons in the car. If it controls your screen, it controls CarPlay.

Invite more apps

along for the ride.

CarPlay supports other apps on your iPhone — like your favorite audio, messaging, and voice apps, along with apps in new categories, like third-party parking, EV charging, and quick food-ordering apps. Apps developed by car manufacturers are also supported, so you can control more of your car's features without ever leaving CarPlay.2 You can personalize your experience by rearranging exactly how your apps appear in CarPlay through settings on your iPhone. And app developers now have access to a variety of tools and templates that enable them to provide smarter, safer ways to use iPhone in the car.
