iOS 14: New CarPlay Controls

 iOS 14 brings updates for the CarPlay and now you will be able to perform several tasks at ease directly from your car. Choose from a set of wallpapers that look great.

CarPlay also supports new app types—parking, electric vehicle charging, and quick food ordering. You can even ask Siri to perform the task on your behalf. Here’s how you can access these settings in iOS 14.

Use Siri to Control CarPlay

CarPlay uses Siri voice control, so you can ask for what you want. You can also use your car’s built-in controls to control CarPlay.

Ask Siri on CarPlay:

  1. Do one of the following until Siri beeps:
    • Press and hold the voice command button on the steering wheel.
    • Touch and hold the CarPlay Dashboard or CarPlay Home button on a touchscreen displaying CarPlay.

Ask Siri a question or to do something.

Ask Siri. Say something like:

  1. “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop”
  2. “Call Eliza Block”
  3. “Play more songs like this one”
  4. “Show me the map”
  5. “What’s my next meeting?”
  6. “What’s the weather for today?”
  7. “Remind me to pack an umbrella when I get home”

Change the wallpaper in CarPlay

Open Settings in CarPlay using your vehicle’s built-in controls, select Wallpaper, then choose one of the available options.
