CarPlay has become a necessity for many users

Since Apple introduced CarPlay on the market, more and more manufacturers are opting for this wireless technology to connect our iPhone to the vehicle. With each new version of iOS, Apple offers us new functions to be able to get the most out of our device in such a way that the number of users who When buying a new vehicle they require that it be installed that is compatible with CarPlay. The data from the latest survey carried out in the United States and Eruopa affirm that three out of four users consider it essential that the vehicle is managed with CarPlay in order to consider them as an option.

Despite having become an almost essential requirement for many users, the number of applications available and compatible with CarPlay is still very small and we barely find a dozen applications that we can manage directly from the screen of our vehicle without having to touch the iPhone at any time.

But if we take into account that the main applications used by users are Apple Music and the Podcasts application along with Apple maps needs can be perfectly met and it is not necessary to have a greater number of applications to be able to take advantage of the potential that this Apple technology offers us, although of course, the more the better, since not everyone has the same tastes and needs.

Today It is difficult to find a manufacturer that does not offer both CarPlay and Android Auto as an option or natively on the vehicles they are putting on the market. Gone are the times when manufacturers insisted on introducing a multimedia system that was only compatible with a very small number of devices and that also did not allow us at any time to use the browser of our smartphone in the vehicle's multimedia system, an option that is currently possible thanks to CarPlay and Android Auto.
