Overview
- ChatGPT, which reached CarPlay on Tuesday, now answers spoken questions through the car display.
- Using it requires an iPhone on iOS 26.4 and the latest ChatGPT app with Apple's special CarPlay entitlement.
- Apple forces a voice-only design that shows a simple voice screen with up to four buttons and no text or images in replies.
- The CarPlay app cannot control your car or iPhone and it lacks a wake word, so you must open the app to start talking.
- OpenAI is among the first to use this new slot in CarPlay, a sign that third‑party AI agents are beginning to move into the dashboard under Apple's guardrails.
