Tesla is working to add support for Apple CarPlay in its vehicles, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman and Edward Ludlow.
The company has been relying on its own infotainment system. However, it’s considering changing course and offer CarPlay with the will involve the feature operating “within a window inside its broader interface,” rather than being a full-screen experience like it is in most vehicles. Tesla’s implementation will also be the standard version of wireless CarPlay, rather than the next-generation CarPlay Ultra that started rolling out earlier this year.
CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or automotive head unit to be a display and controller for an iOS device. It is available on iPhone 5 and later models running iOS 7.1 or later. More than 800 car and motorcycle models support CarPlay, according to Apple.
