How does Parkster work via CarPlay?

CarPlay is an Apple standard that turns a car radio or head unit into a display and controller for an iOS device. The method of connection between the customer's device and the car radio varies between different cars. Most commonly, you need to connect a USB cable from the car to the device, or alternatively connect via Bluetooth.

Please note that currently, it is only possible to display active short-term tickets via CarPlay.
