APPLE CARPLAY IN AN AUDI A3, WHAT IS IT FOR?

Simply put, Apple CarPlay is a system that duplicates the iPhone screen on your Audi A3's car radio. It is a technology that allows the driver to benefit from several useful features on board. He can make a phone call or write a text message by launching a Siri voice command, follow a navigation on a different GPS than the one integrated in his car, listen to music recorded on his smartphone, etc.

By installing CarPlay on his Audi A3, the driver can also use dozens of apps on his dashboard, like Waze, Google Maps, Spotify, Deezer, etc.

If this system developed by Apple is not available on your Audi A3, there are several ways to benefit from it. We take stock of the situation!

HOW TO GET CARPLAY IN YOUR AUDI A3?

Often, Audi A3 models include Apple CarPlay as an option. If you weren't lucky enough to have it when you bought your car, you should know that there are other ways to take advantage of it.

Adding a CarPlay module

If the car radio installed in your Audi A3 is not compatible with Apple's in-car system, simply install a CarPlay module. What exactly is it?
