“Apple today announced nine additional partners committed to shipping CarPlay integration in future vehicles marking the first expansion to that list since the feature was officially introduced in March,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac. “Joining the list of existing CarPlay partners for 2014 and beyond is Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Mazda, and Ram. Each new auto manufacturer is committed to integrating CarPlay in models planned to be announced and released in the future.”
“Audi, as you may recall, first mentioned its plans to introduce CarPlay in an announcement last week,” Hall reports, “and yesterday the luxury car maker expanded on those plans saying support will roll out in Europe in 2015 and the United States during the following year.”
Hall reports, “CarPlay partners with plans to ship vehicles sporting the feature this year include Hyundai, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Honda.”
