Among the massive iOS 7 features as Apple introduced on WWDC event in last June was termed as “iOS in the Car”, which allows a much deeper integration between vehicles and iOS devices, allowing users to check out the iOS apps on manufacturer in-dash displays. As Apple just has included a brand new toggle for this unique “iOS in the Car feature” labeled as “Car Display” in this new iOS 7.1 beta. Which suggested that iOS 7.1 most expected ‘iOS in the Car’ feature out there.
As Apple’s outline about the “iOS in the Car”:
“iOS in the Car seamlessly integrates your iOS device — and the iOS experience — with your in-dash system. If your vehicle is equipped with iOS in the Car, you can connect your iPhone 5 and interact with it using the car’s built-in display and controls or Siri Eyes Free. Now you can easily and safely make phone calls, access your music, send and receive messages, get directions, and more. It’s all designed to let iPhone focus on what you need, so you can focus on the road.”

9to5Mac was first to report this brand added feature:
“Right on time, the latest beta of iOS 7.1 has added a toggle to enable or disable “Car Display” in the Restrictions Settings panel. We also understand from multiple sources that Apple has greatly increased the amount of iOS in the Car references in both iOS 7.1 beta 1 and in the new beta 2.
While it is always possible that iOS in the Car gets delayed further into 2014, it currently seems like Apple is targeting a launch for iOS in the Car alongside iOS 7.1 next year.”
One more concealed setting for the “iOS in the Car” feature indicates that the Apple will make it possible for you to mirror the iOS device with your car’s dashboard display not just on USB but also on Wi-Fi.
It suggests that next era car consoles may have the AirPlay support and let you to mirror the iOS gadget wirelessly to it really is a built-in display similar to Apple TV.
The support for AirPlay will make this very handy as you do not need to hook up your iOS device physically. We also wish that the Apple offers an option to link the device automatically with the car’s built-in console without experiencing any problem to set this up each and every time by using geofencing feature.
This feature is likely to be available in new cars manufactured by Mercedes, Honda, Ferrari, Nissan, Kia, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Jaguar, Volvo and quite a few others companies in near 2014.
