To implement a CarPlay application, you can refer to the session titled "Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture" from WWDC 2024. This session provides a comprehensive overview of the new CarPlay architecture, focusing on how to customize and create unique experiences for different vehicles.

Key points from the session include:

  1. Architecture Overview: The next generation of CarPlay builds on the existing architecture, introducing advanced features like enhanced Siri, buffered media playback, and support for HEVC video streaming. It is a wireless-only experience, ensuring seamless reconnection and performance.

  2. UI Configuration: The CarPlay UI is highly flexible and can be customized to match the specific features of a vehicle. This is achieved using the vehicle state protocol, which allows for the addition or removal of UI elements based on the car's capabilities.

  3. Automaker Apps: Automaker apps run on iPhone, leveraging the full power of iOS to create rich and custom UIs. These apps can be updated over time and allow for the definition of custom settings, which can be accessed through the vehicle's Settings app.

  4. Custom Features: Developers can enable custom features by using APIs to configure the UI and respond to vehicle conditions or user interactions. This includes creating custom alerts, notifications, and specialized UIs.

For more detailed information, you can watch the session Meet the next generation of CarPlay architecture (21:19) which covers enabling custom features in CarPlay applications.
