How to change the wallpaper in CarPlay

If you own an iPhone and then one of the newer cars that has a larger control display, you probably also use CarPlay. For the uninitiated, this is a kind of "superstructure" for your native system that is in the vehicle from the factory. Of course, the whole system is very reminiscent of iOS, which is one of the reasons why many users are comfortable with CarPlay. CarPlay as such can only be used officially with an iPhone wired via USB to the vehicle. With the arrival of each new version of iOS, we also see updates to CarPlay, and within iOS 14, CarPlay finally got the option to change the wallpaper. Let's see how to do it together.

You can easily change the wallpaper in CarPlay as above. Unfortunately, we still don't have the option to choose your own wallpaper in CarPlay - and most likely we will never have this option. The wallpapers for CarPlay are created in such a way that the icons are perfectly visible on them, so that you don't have to look for where the application is while driving and thus get distracted. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that CarPlay can only be used in combination with an iPhone. If you connect an iPad to the car, CarPlay will not work.

I think some cars also allow Carplay to be baked wirelessly.
