enables calls to be made
and received without having
to take your hands off the

wireless data system that
enables cellular phones to
be used without being con-
nected by a cable or placed
in a cradle.

connection is established,
phone functions will be per-
formed by Apple CarPlay
instead of the hands-free
system.
