Currently, Only 13 Countries Will Get CarPlay According To Apple


If you're wondering whether CarPlay will become available in the country you live in, Apple has the answer. CarPlay is an iOS feature available in iOS 7 and later. To enjoy the software you need to have a compatible car or one of the aftermarket solutions available at the moment (Pioneer NEX and Alpine's upcoming head unit).

According to Apple, currently, only the following 13 countries will get CarPlay one way or the other...

Australia
Canada
France
Germany
Hong Kong
Italy
Japan
Mexico
Republic of Korea
Spain
Switzerland
UK
USA

What does this mean? If you purchased an iDevice in any country other than the 13 mentioned above, you won't get CarPlay even if you have a compatible aftermarket head unit. Also, Pioneer and Alpine may not bring CarPlay to all those countries necessarily.

Pioneer NEX head units will be available in most of those countries. Alpine's plans aren't know yet. As far as cars go, it is up to the automakers to make CarPlay available in their new vehicles.

Also, the above list is a current list. That list may expand in the coming months if Apple wants it to.
