Apple CarPlay redefined in-car convenience when it launched back in 2014, transforming the car’s factory infotainment system by seamlessly connecting it to your iPhone. Suddenly, you could bring your own favorite navigation app to the big screen, rather than having to stare at your phone’s much smaller display or settle for whatever nav system was installed in your car by the manufacturer. Likewise, full control of your favorite multimedia apps – software like Spotify, Pandora, and Audible – were now just a few taps away.

Cadillac is upping its infotainment game for the 2016 model year by adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to select vehicles as well as improving its much-maligned CUE telematics system.

Apple CarPlay is getting numerous upgrades in the near future.

The next generation of vehicular infotainment technology is here. Hyundai has become the first OEM to launch Android Auto, an exciting new computing system that puts the power of Google right in your vehicle’s dashboard.

Hyundai has become the first automaker to offer Google’s Android Auto in-car infotainment system in their 2015 Sonata sedan.

Apple CarPlay will start to roll out in larger numbers this year. 

Rumors are surfacing again that Apple is looking to take on everyone from BMW to Tesla with its own car.

Android Auto is the latest product from Google that’s designed as an alternative to CarPlay but for Android users. Similar to the Apple infotainment solution, Android Auto will use your Android smartphone to enable apps and extra features while driving.
