If the car is shared by a lot of people, such as
in a car pool, it is worth noting that a maxi-
mum of 20 iOS devices can be stored simulta-

new device is connected the oldest one is

Using apps that are not compatible with
CarPlay may sometimes mean that the

devices can be found on the Apple web-
site. You can also search for CarPlay in the
App Store to find information about apps
that are compatible with CarPlay on your
