NEW GADGETS

 

Apple Carplay

iOS 7.1 is packed with new features, including CarPlay. CarPlay is smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. It takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right in your car’s built-in display. Featuring Siri voice control and specially designed for driving scenarios, CarPlay works with your car’s controls — knobs, buttons or touchscreen. You can get directions, make and receive calls, return missed calls, listen to voicemail, send and receive messages, and listen to music. Siri can do these things for you, allowing you to stay focused on the road. All you have to do is ask. Just simply plug in your iPhone and go. (Compatible with iPhone 5, 5c and 5s. Go to Settings. Select General. And tap Software Update.)
