You'll get access to contacts, messages, music streaming, maps and navigation services and emergency assistance. This system will allow you to make and receive calls, as well as use Siri voice assistant. All this puts you in absolute control of your vehicle. Apple CarPlay is pre-installed in many cars from various manufacturers, such as Audi.
