Plan trips confidently with real-time radar views of current weather conditions displayed right on your car dashboard. Stay up-to-date with the latest weather conditions on your route using two apps specifically developed now available for the Apple CarPlay system as Apple doesn’t offer its own weather app for CarPlay.
A CarPlay-compatible head unit is needed in your vehicle for these apps to work – find a list here. You can connect your iPhone wirelessly or via a cable, and can follow a dedicated set of instructions provided by Apple to get connected.
Once you’ve hooked your iPhone up to your car’s dashboard, these two apps will become visible in the app list in the CarPlay interface, after they’ve been installed from the App Store on your phone.
