Apple Announces 'CarPlay' iOS Vehicle Integration Feature
As indicated last week, Apple today announced its CarPlay iOS vehicle integration feature at the Geneva International Motor Show, which allows an iPhone to take over the in-dash display of a car, providing Siri voice controlled access to aspects such as navigation, phone functions, messages, and music.
Once a Lightning-enabled iPhone is connected, the feature can be summoned and controlled on compatible cars through Siri voice control, a touchscreen, and on-board buttons. From there, users are able to access various iOS apps such as Maps, Phone, Messages, Podcasts, and Music. Third party apps such as Beats Radio, iHeartRadio, Spotify, and Stitcher are also supported, with Apple promising compatibility with more apps soon.
CarPlay will be accessible this week with vehicles from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, while other manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota will receive the update later.

Anyone with CarPlay on their Volkswagen? Or am I the first one to have it in a VW?
Yes, CarPlay still has a lot to improve. What I like about CarPlay is the ability to tune in to over 50,000 radio stations from various countries (similar to DAB), aside from playing the usual Spotify list. And handsfree messaging (read and send), making and receving calls with Siri as your handsfree assistant doing it for you.
There is a way to make Waze work with CarPlay, but it will require jailbreak.
Wanted to share some pics of available apps I downloaded, but I don't know how to post pics though.
Anyone interested to have CarPlay in your VW, just PM me.
