Not content with tying in your iPhone and iPad with iTunes and AirPlay? Good news! Apple have just announced CarPlay, allowing you to sync your iDevice with your 3rd most expensive asset (behind your house and kids). With CarPlay you’ll be able to make calls, use Maps (I wonder if that’ll include Google Maps?), listen to music and messages using either the car’s inbuilt system or Siri. Hopefully Siri’s requirement to access the net won’t be a barrier to using voice control, or munch all your data on the M1.
CarPlay will be available in 2014 in cars from Ferrari, Mercedes-Benx, Volvo, BMW Group, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai Motor Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia Motors, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan Motor Company, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota Motor Corp. CarPlay will be compatible with iOS 7 and Lightning-enabled iPhones, which suggests a docking system and no iPad compatibility, which is a shame as I can see the iPad Mini working rather well with this.
