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.

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.

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.

Question: Q: Magnetic Wireless Car Mount for iPhone X?

I am considering getting an iPhone X. I use a magnetic mount in my car for my current iPhone and hate having to plug it in every time to charge. I have also heard the iPhone X is all glass on back so nothing to attract a magnet.

With the iPhone X could I stick a magnet or metal strip on the back the iPhone X so it will stick to a magnetic Qi wireless car charger mount? Something like this: Amazon.com: Magnetic QI Wireless Charger Phone Holder, Oenbopo Wireless Car Cradle Charger Mount Phone Holder for Samsun…

I would think everyone would want this functionality in a car charger. No more cable to plug in and just remove from magnet. simple.

This may not fully answer your question, but I use an Aukey magnetic air vent car mount on my two vehicles, a 2013 RAM and a 1995 Miata. Amazon.com: AUKEY Car Phone Mount, Air Vent Magnetic Phone Holder for iPhone X / 8 / 7 / 7plus / 6s, Samsung, LG, Nexus …

I have tried two different positions for the thin metal plate that attaches to the back of the phone with adhesive to enable the magnetic mount to work. I pulled the back off my prior phone, so most of the adhesive is worn off, but still enough to hold it in the right position before I put on my clear Spigen case.

The first position I tried was to place the rectangular magnet sideways near the bottom of the phone. That still allowed wireless charging using the two Seneo charging pads I purchased and used a couple of years ago with my Galaxy Note 5.

Unfortunately, the low position made the phone unstable when in the car attached to the Aukey mount. So I then tried placing the rectangular magnet vertically aligned near the top of the phone next to the camera hump. That made the phone very stable in the car on the magnetic vent mount. It was also high enough on the phone’s back to allow wireless charging to worth with my two Seneo charging pads.

I should mention that there is also a smaller round metal piece that comes with the Aukey car mount that would take up less room on the back of the phone and have a lower risk of interfering with the wireless charging. But I already used that metal piece on another device.

The Best MagSafe Car Mounts for Your iPhone

We’ve rounded up all the best car mounts that will magnetically hold your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 in place while you drive.

If you’re somebody who talks on the phone a lot while you’re driving, or uses your iPhone for navigation, it’s a good idea to get a car mount. That way you can drive safely with two hands always on the wheel. If you have any model of iPhone 12 or iPhone 13, you can also take advantage of its magnetic back. We’ve rounded up all the best car mounts that can magnetically hold your iPhone in place while you drive.

This car mount is fully compatible with MagSafe — Apple even sells it. It attaches to a car vent and, thanks to its rotating ball joint, you can adjust the positioning of your iPhone. Note: this doesn’t charge your iPhone via MagSafe, so you’ll want to have a Lightning cable in your car, too.

Spigen’s car mount works with Apple’s MagSafe charger (which requires a USB-C car charger) and clips to car’s air vent. It’s available in white or black.

The Snap Vent mount is not a wireless charger. It simply attaches to your car vent and magnetically holds your iPhone 12 in place. It comes with a magnetic adhesive (called a Snap Adapter) that you can attach to the back of an older iPhone (that doesn’t have MagSafe) so that it will magnetically stick to the mount.

Note: This item is temporarily sold out.

Peak Design’s magnetic car mount has a premium and durable design made out of anodized aluminum, and it grips onto your car’s dashboard. It can be ordered in either «non-charing» or «charging» sets, the latter of which costs $80 and ships with a charging cable and car adapter.

This magnetic pad clips to your car’s air vent and holds your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 in place. It works as a Qi-wireless charger, too, but you’ll have to use your own cord (and potentially a separate car charger, if your car doesn’t have a USB port).

This MagSafe mount attaches to your car’s vents and magnetically holds your iPhone in place. It works with all MagSafe-compatible cases.

OtterBox’s mount attaches to either your car’s dashboard or windshield via a suction base, and then has an adjustable arm that allows your to get your ideal viewing angle. It works with all MagSafe-compatible cases.

Moment’s magnetic car mount connects to your car’s air vents, and it works with or without Moment’s special iPhone 12 cases (in case you’re not using Moment’s ecosystem of accessories). It does not charge your iPhone, so you’ll want to have a Lightning cable in your car.

This is a wireless charger and car mount combo. The wireless charger is detachable, meaning you can take it out of your car and use as regular wireless charging pad in your home.

Note: This item is temporarily sold out.

The simple car mount rests on your car’s dashboard and has a rotating ball joint to adjust the direction your iPhone faces. The big advantage is that it’s available in four difference colors: space grey, black, red or gold.

This simple and affordable car mount attaches to your car’s air vent. It doesn’t have a ball joint, so it doesn’t offer quite as much adjustability as other car mounts. But it’s also the cheapest option out there. ($12 gets you a two-pack.)

This simple car mounts attaches to your car’s air vent and magnetically holds your iPhone in place. It lacks the adjustable angles that other options have, but it’s one of the cheapest mounts you can buy.

We’ve rounded up all the best MagSafe accessories for the iPhone 12 that are available now.

I have a BRODIT «active» car mount for my iphone 4, it holds the phone perfectly and is very stable. I have recently pre-ordered an iPhone 6 plus and I understand that Brodit are in the process of designing a mount for this phone and its smaller version the iPhone6.

I have tried various mounts in the past but I find that Brodit is by far the best, expensive in comparison, yes, but well worth the money.

Hi. I have just installed my Strike Alpha iPhone 6 cradle. I had the iPhone 5s cradle and it was excellent. A fast charge and solid antenna boost. Hope this helps!

Sep 17, 2014 7:36 PM

Hey Juan. +1 here for the Strike Alpha cradle. Not cheap but worth it for the quality. Solid iphone car mount.

Sep 17, 2014 7:48 PM

I have tried a few brands over the years and by far the best one I’ve tried is the Strike Alpha Cradle. I think they released an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus version as well as a few others that take let you mount your phone whilst it is still in its case.

Sep 18, 2014 10:50 PM

Nice cradle but no landscape orientation for maps etc? Seems very expense to not have this important feature!

Sep 20, 2014 7:26 AM

yes the Strike Alpha iPhone 6 Cradle seems very expensive over 100 dollars compared to other car mount holder, although I love its other features

Easy, Arkon’s Mobile Grip 2 has already been named «best smartphone mount» by a number of other sites. The MG279 is the one I use.

Fits the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, even if you’re using a large Otterbox, Trident Case, Incipio Case, or other case. Comes with a 2-year warranty. Easy to use, spring-loaded holder. Also features a 1/4″-20 threaded tripod pattern on the side of the holder so that you can take it off the mount and then use your iPhone 6 on any camera tripod. I love that feature! Less than $20 bucks. 4.5 star rated on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Windshield-Smartphone-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B00I58VAZS/r ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411326809&sr=8-1&keywords=MG279
