OpenAI Brings ChatGPT to CarPlay for Hands-Free Voice Conversations

OpenAI updated the ChatGPT app to support CarPlay, enabling in‑car voice conversations.

Apple opened CarPlay to third‑party voice conversational apps in iOS 26.4 but requires a special entitlement.

ChatGPT on CarPlay requires iOS 26.4+ and must use voice as the primary interface without showing text or images.

The integration allows hands‑free questions but cannot control vehicle or iPhone functions, and there is no wake word.
