The topic Here\u2019s everything new for CarPlay in iOS 27<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

iOS 27 is launching this fall, and it brings a handful of improvements for CarPlay. Here\u2019s everything new for CarPlay in iOS 27.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Siri overhaul is the tentpole addition to iOS 27, and the new \u2018Siri AI\u2019 capabilities on the iPhone are available in CarPlay too.<\/p>\n

Siri has a new design that\u2019s more like the pre-iOS 18 look, but with less color. It appears as a glowing orb at the bottom-center of the screen.<\/p>\n

Siri in CarPlay is now much better at answering questions of any kind, similar to ChatGPT and Google Gemini. In my testing, it\u2019s also able to retain the context of your current conversation better than ever before.<\/p>\n

In a nice touch, conversations you have in CarPlay are automatically synced to the Siri app on iPhone. You can browse the full Siri history in the app, and there\u2019s a car icon marking conversations you had via CarPlay.<\/p>\n

Apple added video in the car with iOS 26, but it was limited to AirPlay streaming. But per a WWDC video, with iOS 27 developers can now make dedicated video apps for CarPlay, so that users can browse videos right on their CarPlay display.<\/p>\n

From the video transcript, which is targeted toward developers:<\/p>\n

With iOS 27 you can create apps to browse and play videos in new cars that support the video in car feature. If your app supports AirPlay video streaming, no changes are needed. People can already watch videos from your app on their CarPlay display when they aren\u2019t driving. To do so, they simply select the car\u2019s display when playing the video on iPhone. Now you can take it to the next level and let people browse their favorite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Automakers need to sign on to support the feature, so unfortunately it won\u2019t be available automatically in every car.<\/p>\n

iOS 27 brings new CarPlay wallpapers and design updates in several ways. The set of wallpapers, as seen above, resembles what\u2019s available across iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate.<\/p>\n

App icons have been refreshed with updated Liquid Glass designs in iOS 27, and those new icons extend to CarPlay.<\/p>\n

Media apps feature a new MiniPlayer in CarPlay now too. Available in the top-right corner of the app, the MiniPlayer provides artwork and player controls\u2014a nice upgrade from the previous waveform icon.<\/p>\n

Finally, you can now do audio scrubbing on the Now Playing screen, using the larger progress indicator seen below.<\/p>\n
