How To Download Apple Carplay Volkswagen

Jan 27, 2016  How to Connect to Apple CarPlay in a Volkswagen. Figuring out how to connect to Apple CarPlay in your Volkswagen is a simple process, but if you’re having trouble, we’re here to help. There are some things you’ll want to know before attempting to connect you iPhone to your Volkswagen in order to use the Apple CarPlay system. German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen is in talks with Apple on bringing CarPlay to its 2016 lineup, according to a new report. This is an important development as Volkswagen, itself notably absent in Apple’s press release announcing CarPlay, files as the biggest German automaker and the second largest automaker in the world.

CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while you drive. And now with an all‑new CarPlay Dashboard that helps you with tunes, turns, and Siri suggestions, a Calendar app that lets you view and manage your day, and maps that reveal more of what’s around you, getting there just got a whole lot easier. And a lot more fun.

Control with a word.
Or a touch. Or a twist.

CarPlay features Siri voice control and 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.

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 now 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.

Siri can read, reply, and send text messages for you, so you never have to look at your iPhone while driving. Just say “Siri, tell Blair I’ll be there in 20 minutes,” and it’s done. CarPlay can also play audio messages through the car’s speakers.

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.

A new 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.

Invite more apps along for the ride.

CarPlay supports other apps on your iPhone — like your favorite audio, messaging, and voice apps. Apps developed by car manufacturers are also supported, so you can control more of your car’s features without ever leaving CarPlay.1 You can personalize your experience by rearranging exactly how your apps appear in CarPlay through settings on your iPhone.

What CarPlay does

CarPlay takes the things that you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them on your car's built-in display. When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay, you can get turn-by-turn directions, make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and more. CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls, send texts, and find destinations.

CarPlay uses Siri Voice Control, so you can ask for what you want while you're driving — allowing you to stay focused on the road. CarPlay even works with the built-in controls in your car — like a touchscreen, knob, or button.

Set up CarPlay

Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Make sure that you're in an area that supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay.
  2. Start your car, then make sure that Siri is on.
  3. Connect your iPhone to your car:
    • If your car supports CarPlay via USB cable, plug your iPhone into the USB port in your car. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon.
    • If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice-command button on your steering wheel. Make sure that your stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay, tap Available cars, then select your car. Check your car manual for more information.

  1. Go to Settings > General, and tap CarPlay.
  2. Select your car.
  3. Use the add or delete icons to add or remove apps. Tap and drag an app to change the icon order.
