Kia has also confirmed CarPlay in its new Forte motor cars and even offers wireless charging and various trucks, which are the strongest category in North America, will be featuring the Apple CarPlay technology as well.
2019 RAM and Ford trucks will also feature CarPlay. In many cases, CarPlay integration is a major feature and not an afterthought.
The new RAM 1500 has CarPlay on an 8.4-inch or 12-inch display. The larger display shares CarPlay with other in-vehicle controls.
