Apple's CarPlay now supports smart home device control, with Kwikset smart locks becoming the first major manufacturer to integrate with the in-vehicle platform as of March 23. The integration allows drivers to lock and unlock their doors directly from CarPlay's interface without leaving their vehicle. Apple rolled out the feature with iOS 26, expanding CarPlay's functionality beyond navigation and entertainment. MacTech provided setup guidance for users upgrading to the new iOS version, while accessory makers capitalized on the announcement by promoting wireless CarPlay adapters to enable the feature in older vehicles.
