Use CarPlay to play the podcasts that are on your iPhone. You can use your vehicle’s built-in controls to open Podcasts and select a podcast to play. And to control playback, you can use the controls on your vehicle’s steering wheel and the buttons on the Now Playing screen.

Note: If you’re viewing CarPlay Dashboard, tap the Home button. All of your CarPlay apps appear on its pages, including Podcasts.

The buttons on the Now Playing screen, CarPlay Dashboard, and the controls on your vehicle’s steering wheel can all control podcast playback, too.
