What is SharePlay with CarPlay in iOS 17?

SharePlay lets you stream music and videos with your friends and family remotely. To make this feature even more useful, Apple has integrated it with CarPlay in iOS 17. Now, anyone in your car can control the music and contribute to what’s playing while you’re focused on driving safely. Earlier, if you ever wanted to allow a passenger to play music in your car, you had to either rely on an AUX cable paired with a Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack adapter or connect audio over Bluetooth. While both methods did the trick, they were highly impractical by today’s standards. Now, SharePlay makes this process a breeze. Whenever you connect your iPhone with CarPlay, it automatically initiates a SharePlay session, allowing nearby Apple devices to join and play music together. What’s great about this is that it even works when passengers aren’t subscribed to Apple Music.

How to start a SharePlay session in CarPlay

There are two convenient ways to start a SharePlay session in CarPlay. But before you can do that, you must ensure that you and all other passengers have iOS 17 installed and you’re subscribed to Apple Music.

Method 1:  Start a Shareplay session using QR code

Method 2: Start a Shareplay session without QR code

If you’re traveling with someone whose contact is saved on your iPhone, you can initiate a SharePlay session directly without scanning the QR code. Once you start a SharePlay session in CarPlay, the connected passengers can change the song that’s playing, add tracks to the queue, play or pause the music, turn on shuffle or repeat, and view song lyrics on their iPhones.

How to join an existing SharePlay session on CarPlay

Adding all passengers in your car to the SharePlay session may seem like a daunting task. But don’t worry! Once you approve one passenger on your car, they can add other passengers to that existing SharePlay session. So you don’t need to add them via CarPlay manually. Here’s how it works: Wrapping up… SharePlay with CarPlay is a great new feature in iOS 17 that makes it easier for you to listen to music with your friends and family while you’re traveling together.
