I need to check how exactly the iOS Carplay works and how to launch it on simulator. Can someone throw some light on how to start working with Carplay and how to launch it using Xcode 6.1 iOS simulators.

It is not supported. Please explain why you "need to check how ... [it] works" – Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia Nov 05 '14 at 05:03

There isn't a CarPlay option in the iOS Simulator. – Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia Nov 13 '14 at 05:05

1It is only present in the menu if you make unsupported changes. It is not visible by default. – Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia Nov 13 '14 at 17:25

Okay :) Fine then lets wait till apple officially announces the option. – ravoorinandan Nov 14 '14 at 04:26

@yonel Just create a empty folder by name /AppleInternal in the root folder or in the applications folder to see this option. – ravoorinandan Nov 24 '14 at 08:53

@ravoorinandan : hum thanks ! with your hint I manage to get the "CarPlay..." menu item, but unfortunately, when I click on it, it doesn't show anything, grrrr ! (I'm running XCode 6.1 with iOS 8.1 simulator) – yonel Nov 24 '14 at 10:06

@yonel That was the reason i posted this question and didn't get any answer yet :( – ravoorinandan Nov 24 '14 at 15:21

@ravoorinandan Any luck with understanding Car Play? Can we show our own app on Car Play display. – Irfan Apr 26 '16 at 10:25

No Irfan, Unfortunately apple has still blocked or not exposed any api's/ classes for making use of car play:( – ravoorinandan Apr 26 '16 at 10:27

Reading through blogs and forums, Some says that by requesting apple one can grant permission to display app on car play? Any idea – Irfan Apr 26 '16 at 10:31

Type in this command in a Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator CarPlay -bool YES
Then shutdown and restart the Simulator. There should now be a Hardware->External Display->CarPlay option available.
