Golf carts aren’t just for the course anymore. From private communities to lake homes and resort fleets, golf carts have evolved into everyday vehicles, and with that shift comes the desire for more technology. Enter touch screen CarPlay for golf carts: the ultimate upgrade that blends convenience, navigation, safety, and entertainment all into one clean display.
The Captain Golf Cart Camera System is leading the way. An all-in-one touchscreen CarPlay display built specifically for golf carts. It’s more than an accessory; it’s how you transform a basic ride into a smart, connected experience.
What Is Golf Cart CarPlay… and Why Everyone Wants It
If you’ve used Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your car, you already know the appeal. CarPlay allows you to mirror your smartphone’s key apps (navigation, music, calls, and messaging) directly on a built-in screen. Now, that same technology is making its way into golf carts.
A golf cart touch screen CarPlay system takes your ride to the next level by offering:
-
Real-time GPS navigation
-
Music and media control
-
Hands-free calling
-
Access to Siri or Google Assistant
-
A sleek, modern display that feels like a car dashboard
It’s part of a growing trend to make golf carts smarter, safer, and more enjoyable, whether you’re driving across the fairway or cruising your neighborhood.
Benefits of Adding a Touch Screen CarPlay System to Your Golf Cart
CarPlay technology brings serious functionality to golf carts, and once you have it, you won’t want to go back. Here’s what makes this upgrade so valuable:
1. Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Forget getting lost on large courses or private communities. GPS maps built into CarPlay ensure you always know where you’re headed, with clear, easy-to-follow directions right on your screen.
2. Music, Podcasts & Entertainment
Pair your phone and play your favorite playlists or podcasts while you ride. Whether it’s a morning round or an evening cruise, CarPlay brings your soundtrack along for the journey.
3. Hands-Free Safety
Use Siri or Google Assistant to make calls, send messages, or change the music without taking your eyes off the path. It’s convenience and safety rolled into one.
4. Seamless Smartphone Integration
Everything from Apple Maps to Spotify and Messages connects instantly. No fumbling with your phone or juggling multiple devices.
5. Modern Look & Feel
The addition of a high-resolution touch screen gives your golf cart a premium, automotive-style dashboard that is sleek, functional, and futuristic.
