Apple publishes first comprehensive list of CarPlay-compatible vehicles

By Roger Fingas

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 Citroën, DS Automobiles, Seat, and Škoda.

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:

Audi

Buick

Cadillac

Chevrolet

Citroën

DS Automobiles

Ferrari

Ford

GMC

Honda

Hyundai

Mercedes

Mitsubishi

Opel

Porsche

Peugeot

Seat

Å koda

Suzuki

Volkswagen
