Apple CarPlay is a seriously handy feature for anyone with an iPad or an iPhone, as it depicts everything on your device's screen on the car’s infotainment display.

Once you’ve connected your phone or tablet, you can effectively operate it using the main screen on the car’s dashboard, so you can make calls, use a GPS app or play music without touching the device itself.

It’s a big hit with car buyers and our list below tells you which cars are available with the system. Alternatively, Apple's list of supported cars can be found here.
