Difference between PCM 3.1 and CDR-31

What is Apple CarPlay?

With Apple CarPlay, you can use the apps of your iPhone even when you’re on the move – with Apple voice control Siri for example.

CarPlay makes it easy for iPhone users to access apps like Phone, Maps and Messages via their car’s own touchscreen dashboard display, working much like Android Auto does for Android users.

CarPlay apps from Apple and third-party developers are redesigned so that they are safe to use while driving. This often means their user interfaces are simplified, with less text and fewer icons to distract you from the road ahead. Instead, Siri is used by many CarPlay apps – for example, to read out incoming iMessages, and dictate your replies.
