CarPlay Integration
Time cost: 15-20 minutes (if MPNowPlayingInfoCenter already working)
Key Insight
CarPlay uses the SAME MPNowPlayingInfoCenter and MPRemoteCommandCenter as Lock Screen and Control Center. If your Now Playing integration works on iOS, it automatically works in CarPlay with zero additional code.
What CarPlay Reads
| iOS Component | CarPlay Display |
|---|---|
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.nowPlayingInfo |
CPNowPlayingTemplate metadata (title, artist, artwork) |
MPRemoteCommandCenter handlers |
CPNowPlayingTemplate button responses |
Artwork from nowPlayingInfo |
Album art in CarPlay UI |
No CarPlay-specific metadata needed. Your existing code works.
CPNowPlayingTemplate Customization (iOS 14+)
