Apple publishes first comprehensive list of CarPlay-compatible vehicles

Having finally accumulated a large enough stable of partners for the platform, Apple on Monday published an official list of current and (some) future vehicles compatible with CarPlay.

The list includes automakers from around the world. While many may be familiar to U.S. drivers — such as Audi, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, and Volkswagen — others have minimal or zero American presence, such as CitroÃ«n, DS Automobiles, Seat, and Å koda.

Until today the only indication of vehicle support on Apple's website was a graphic with various brand logos, telling users nothing about which individual models were compatible.

Apple first debuted CarPlay in March 2014. The platform had low support until mid-2015 however, and is still picking up major partners. Only later this year, for example, will Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles get support.

As of Jan. 11, Apple's full list includes:

They left out the redesigned 2017 Honda Ridgeline that was just unveiled today, but maybe that's because it'll be a few months before it goes on sale.

So the C-class Merc gets CarPlay but the much more expensive S-class doesn't? LOL.

Funny you should also mention the Accord. I'm head-scratching over the lack of support for the Acura TLX.

It all comes down to the refresh cycle of the vehicle, not how expensive it is. The S class and TLX were introduced last year. Since CarPlay was not fully available then, it will probably have to wait for at least another model year for it to be integrated.

I don't know - there's a lot of merit to the Ridgeline.
