CarPlay is getting it's first major overhaul since its original release with iOS 13 including a new dashboard, new calendar app, and much more.
When hooking up your iPhone with iOS 13 to your CarPlay receiver you are met with an entirely new dashboard. It allows you to view multiple things at once such as a map to one side, your music controls to the right, and still room for smart suggestions like your garage door opener as you arrive home or your next calendar appointment.
Speaking of calendars, there is an entirely new calendar app just for CarPlay.
The Music app has been wholly redesigned with album art front and center with a streamlined interface.
When accessing Siri, the virtual assistant no longer takes the entire screen but stays minimized at the bottom of the display. Siri also now works with other third-party apps such as Waze for navigation and audio apps such as Pandora.
AppleInsider will be reporting live throughout WWDC 2019, starting with the keynote on Monday, June 3. Get every announcement as it happens by downloading the AppleInsider app for iOS, and by making sure to follow us on YouTube, Twitter @appleinsider, Facebook and Instagram.

Ayup: CarPlay Music App making buying that Apple Music subscription more appealing.
The very last thing I need on my dash is a calendar. But I would like to overlay weather on the map.
And wireless CarPlay would be nice - but I freely recognize that this is beyond Apple's control. But maybe they can devote some resources to help automakers do this? OTOH, this might be part of Project Titan.
What the heck car is that with the giant freaking screen?
Probably a silly concern, but I hope that this new version of CarPlay doesn’t abandon cars that have supported it for years.
