What Is Apple CarPlay®?

Apple CarPlay® is a smartphone integration feature that connects a compatible iPhone to a vehicle’s infotainment system. Once connected, it lets you use apps like Apple Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, and other supported apps through the Mazda display and controls. It’s designed to help drivers access useful iPhone features while staying focused on the road.

Wired vs. Wireless Apple CarPlay®

Wired Apple CarPlay® requires you to plug your iPhone into the vehicle with a compatible cable before the interface appears on the screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® connects without that cable, which can make getting on the road while playing your tunes feel a little easier. Depending on the new Mazda model you choose, you can get the wired or wireless experience you prefer.
