Pioneer may be working on a solution that would integrate CarPlay into the company’s existing and future car audio products.

The system connects a lightning cable-equipped iPhone to a car’s in-dash display and allows the driver to message, navigate and playback music via Siri voice commands. As part of its announcement, Apple introduced Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo as launch partners, with several additional vehicle manufacturers pledging their support for the hands-free system.
