Owners of Airstream’s iconic trailers will soon be able to monitor the trailer’s systems right on their vehicle’s infotainment screen through Apple CarPlay, the company announced Thursday.
The Airstream Smart Control app can soon connect to the tow vehicle through Apple CarPlay. This development aims to provide owners of Airstream travel trailers — both the Airstream Classic and Pottery Barn Special Edition — a streamlined method to monitor RV health and functions. It works while towing and when owners are away from the trailer adventuring.
Integrating with CarPlay can potentially decrease driver distractions, among other benefits, Bob Wheeler, Airstream’s President and CEO, said in a press release.
“Airstream Smart Control’s ability to put information at the owners’ fingertips allows them to spend more time enjoying their adventures,” Wheeler said. “CarPlay increases convenience and reduces driver distraction, which makes it a natural and powerful way to expand Smart Control’s utility and further improve the Airstream owner experience.”
