Play music with CarPlay

Use Siri or open Music in CarPlay to play music that’s available on your iPhone—including songs, artists, albums, playlists, and Radio.

CarPlay display showing For You music selections. Other music choices—New, Radio, Playlists, and My Music—appear as buttons across the top. At the bottom-left corner is the Home button.

Ask Siri. Say something like:

“Play the new Arcade Fire album”
“Let’s hear the Acoustic playlist”
“Play more songs like this one”
“Play more songs by this artist”
“Play the rest of this album”
“Create a radio station based on this song”
“Skip this song”
“Repeat this song”
“Shuffle this playlist”

If Siri doesn’t find what you asked for, be more specific. For example, say “Play the radio station ‘Pure Pop’” rather than saying “Play ‘Pure Pop.’”

On some systems, Music displays only a partial list of choices while you’re driving. To choose among options not in the list, use Siri by selecting More at the bottom of the list, or by pressing and holding the voice command button on your steering wheel.
