We’ve been steadily trying to make mobile internet in vehicles smarter and safer over the years, though few third-party kits for this have been anything close to elegant or standardized. Google and Apple are working with the big automotive brands, though, to bring new, standardized features to new lines of vehicles. Apple’s CarPlay is a prime example.
All your Apps
Don’t forsake your favorite apps and features – CarPlay is fully iOS compliant, giving you your Spotify, Pandora, hands-fee calling, maps and GPS along with anything else you could want.
Siri
Siri wants to ride with you and give you hand-and-eye-free interface with her text-to-speech, voice recognition and smart system usage. No more tapping at the screen or looking away from the road.
On-Wheel Buttons and Dash Display
The high-definition dash display provides easy at-a-glance readouts on calls, climate and road conditions as well as GPS and maps readouts for when Siri’s buttery voice isn’t enough to get the information across. On-wheel buttons allow quick control of volume, playback and app-switching as well.
The streets of St. Marys will be safer with these systems. Come see them in action at Matheny Ford. What’re you waiting for?
