A Woman’s View on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

12/30/2015 By Morgan Nicholson

CarPlayLadies, imagine driving in your car and being able to use many of the features on your iPhone or Android without taking your eyes off the road or being distracted. I want to tell you about a technology that will allow you to do just that.

Apple CarPlay And Android Auto

CarPlayApple has created a product called Apple CarPlay that is compatible with any iPhone 5 and newer (iOs 7.1 and newer). Google also created a product called Android Auto that works with Androids using 5.0 and newer. Another perk is how easy these products are to use and the fact that they won’t require any training to use them.

Smartphones Have Become A Vital Tool In Today’s World

Many of us, including me, rely on our phones for many different things. On a daily basis, I’m using my phone to schedule meetings and events; communicate through texts, email and phone calls; get directions to my destinations, and so much more. Honestly, I’d be a little lost without my phone and definitely wouldn’t get as much done.

Multi-Task Safely Using Your Smartphone

I spend a good amount of time in my car, and I know many women who spend hours each day in their cars, driving kids around, traveling for work and just running errands. Thankfully, now I can continue using my phone and many of its functions while I’m in my vehicle. I get two things done at once – accomplishing work and going where I need to be. It feels great! Who doesn’t love a little multitasking?

Numerous Time Saving Features All Controlled By Your Voice

Some of the features that come with CarPlay and Android Auto include the use of Google Maps, sending and receiving text messages and phone calls, having reminders and upcoming events read to you, use of iTunes, access to your phonebook and favorites, Siri, and weather reports. They are also compatible with other apps, including iHeart Radio, Spotify, Stitcher and more. All of this is done through Bluetooth, hands-free! All you have to do is plug your phone into the USB port that will be installed in your vehicle, and the rest is done through voice commands.

A Look At How This Technology Can Help You

Apple CarPlayPicture yourself on an average day. You need to get many things done and have only so many hours in the day. You hop in your car and plug your phone into the USB port. You’re taking the kids to school and heading to work. To start the day off with your favorite song, you tell your radio, “Play ‘Hello’ by Adele” and, just like that, your music begins playing. Then you remember that the night before, your friend texted you to see if you’re still on for dinner tonight, but you forgot to respond. No need to touch your phone. You just say, “Send a text to Ally Wilson—7 p.m. at Sacks Café works great!”

Maybe it’s the weekend, and you want to take the family out for a little adventure. With all of the outdoor activities to choose from in Alaska, you decide to go kayaking at a place you’ve never been before. Halfway through the drive, you begin wondering if you made a wrong turn (I’ve definitely done that before!). To get directions to your destination, you tell your phone, “Give me directions to Jewel Lake.” Now, you have turn-by-turn directions being read to you, and you’ll get to your destination safely and on time.

Get This Great New Technology From Perfectionist Auto Sound And Security

You can get this amazing technology by purchasing a new radio head unit for your vehicle from Perfectionist Auto Sound and Security in Anchorage. They sell Pioneer Nex and AppRadio models that work specifically with these products. Doesn’t a car ride that is safer, easier and more enjoyable sound great? Their team would like to invite you to stop by their store in Anchorage, Alaska, to answer any questions you may have and to talk about which products will be most beneficial to you personally.
