What is Apple CarPlay?

Apple CarPlay allows you to do even more with the UVO infotainment system! There are additional apps to enjoy, including Pandora and Audiobooks.com (so you can listen to your favorite music or “read” while you are on the road). With Apple CarPlay, you will also get to enjoy an even more streamlined navigation experience, so you will easily find your way no matter if you are on a cross-country road trip or in the next town over. The hands-free calling and texting is also more streamlined and you are able to safely do this (and other functions) by utilizing voice command, buttons on the steering wheel, and the easy-tap touchscreen on the dash.
