On Monday Fiat Chrysler revealed plans to bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to various car models in 2016. This technology will give drivers a smarter, safer way to use their iPhones while in their cars.
Explained by iDownload Blog: For those unfamiliar with Uconnect, it’s the 8.4-inch touchscreen-based infotainment system found in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. In addition to CarPlay and Android Auto support, the new version will include performance improvements, brighter displays, and heightened touchscreen responsiveness.
While CarPlay got off to a slow start in 2014, automakers have shown increasing interest in the platform within the last 6 months. Ford also confirmed today that it will be bringing CarPlay support to some of its models this year, and South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company made a similar announcement last week.
