Scania to introduce Apple CarPlay
iPhones will integrate with the infotainment system in Scania trucks giving easy access to apps and other functions such as phone, music, messages and mapsScania says it will be introducing Apple CarPlay to its new-generation trucks' infotainment systems, allowing for smart, safe and smooth access to all the functionality of iPhones by mirroring them seamlessly. Scania is among the first in the industry to offer Apple CarPlay in heavy trucks.
"Scania’s infotainment system will work with Apple CarPlay, the smarter, safer way to use your iPhone while on the move," said Bjorn Fahlstrom, Vice President, Product Management, Scania Trucks. "Apple CarPlay support is being introduced in June 2017, and earlier devices can be updated, provided that they have voice recognition.
"By introducing this functionality, we will offer even more driver comfort and increased safety. For truck drivers, who spend a lot of time behind the wheel, everything that makes life on the road easier, simpler and safer is very much appreciated.”
Apple CarPlay functionality will be available for customers who have a Scania Infotainment System with a seven-inch touch screen (AUS4) and the Voice Control Option. Devices from Apple with iOS 7 or higher can be paired via USB cable to the Scania Infotainment System.
"This is yet another example of how Scania continues to offer new seamless services and functionality in the new truck generation," says Fahlstrom.
"Apple CarPlay is an industry-leading technology of the kind we will offer more of in our trucks in the near future," Fahlstrom concluded
