How to change your CarPlay’s wallpaper

Apple has been granted a patent for “Application Shortcuts for CarPlay.”

CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or head unit to be a display and a controller for an iOS device. It’s available on all iPhone models beginning with iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 or later. You can change its wallpaper to your personal preference.

  1. From your car’s display, open the Settings app in CarPlay.
  2. Select Wallpaper.
  3. Choose the wallpaper that you want to use, then select Set.

(This how-to is based on my experiences and info on Apple’s support pages — where the images sometimes come from.)
