May 19, 2018 Link: Don’t spend your hard earned cash at the dealer when you can easily do this yourself! Install vehicl. It has been a frustrating wait for Hyundai owners, who were promised CarPlay support back in 2015. Now at least six months overdue, Hyundai is now informing dealers about their software update and rolling out their CarPlay update to eligible owners that will create eight new CarPlay enabled vehicles that range between 2015 to 2017 models.
What CarPlay does
CarPlay takes the things that you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them on your car's built-in display. When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay, you can get turn-by-turn directions, make calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, and more. CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls, send texts, and find destinations.
CarPlay uses Siri Voice Control, so you can ask for what you want while you're driving — allowing you to stay focused on the road. CarPlay even works with the built-in controls in your car — like a touchscreen, knob, or button.

Use Siri with CarPlay
If your vehicle supports CarPlay or Siri Eyes Free, hold down the voice-command button on your steering wheel while you say what you need. If you aren't sure where the voice-command button is, check the manual for your car or stereo.

Toyota Apple Carplay Update
2018 Toyota Camry or Sienna owners who use Apple iPhones can finally put away the aftermarket phone mounts, because Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa are finally coming to the midsize sedan and minivan, according to a statement released by the automaker. Unfortunately, however, it won't be coming through any sort of Tesla-style over-the-air update. Rather, CarPlay and Alexa must be retroactively installed by a technician at a Toyota dealer.
The first Toyota to get Apple's in-car integration was the 2019 Avalon. Since then, CarPlay has made its way to 'many' 2019 'Yotas and 'most' of Toyota's 2020 models.
'We are always striving to bring highly desirable services to our vehicles,' said Toyota Connected Tech vice president Steve Basra. Of all the cars Toyota makes, the choice of the Camry and Sienna to get the upgrade isn't exactly a surprising one. 'This new program enables CarPlay and Amazon Alexa on some of our most popular vehicles already on the road.' What, did you think they'd spend the time and money retrofitting CarPlay to the low-volume 86? 'It's a great opportunity to surprise and delight our existing customers,' Basra adds.
Surprised and delighted they'll probably be considering 8 out of 10 Americans apparently see Apple CarPlay as something they'd like in their next car with 23 percent straight-up marking it down as a 'must-have.'
2018 Camry Apple Carplay Upgrade
Toyota says 2018 Camry and Sienna owners will be notified of the available update soon and will be encouraged to bring their cars to a dealership. The company announcement made no mention of price or how long the service would take but a Toyota spokesperson apparently told Car and Driver that there may be a 'small service charge.'
