I updated my software to iOS 9 and I'm trying to use carplay. How do I does it work? I looked on the car manufacture list and my car company is listed.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9
Your car must come with a CarPlay enabled media center. Not all cars from all listed companies have it.
What car do you have?
The Media center touch screen must look similar to the one on Apple's website:
I Have a 2009 nissan Maxima
A 2009 Nissan would not support Car Play. It wasn't even thought of then.
Sorry, no Carplay there. Carplay is not just software on the iPhone, it is also hardware that is part of the Media center in the car.
You can use the bluetooth features if your car supports BT pairing, but that is not CarPlay
FYI: This has nothing to do with iWork (the forum you posted in). I'll request this be moved to a more appropriate forum.
I do have a 2015 honda civic hybrid and come with the similar displays as show on apple website and yes i have an iphone 5s with the 9.0.1 isntalled, but i can't make it work.
can someone help wht else needed to do?
AFAIK, only the 2016 Honda Accord is currently equipped with a CarPlay enabled Media Center.
A 2015 Hyrbid Civic only has the Honda Link. No CarPlay.

Easy way to tell, is the icons need to look like the iPhone icons. Like really close to the iPhone icons design as shown on Apple's website. .
For what it's worth you need at minimum the Accord EX model. I just got a new 2016 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting up to speed with all the "toys"

Yup. 😉
I just got a 2016 Accord EX with CarPlay. It is a great handsfree experience with a limited number of apps today.
On the 2016 Accord EX with LaneWatch using the upper screen, CarPlay remains uninterrupted on the lower screen. On the 2015/2016 Honda CR-V, the lower screen is used for touchscreen and for LaneWatch - causing interruptions in using the touchscreen and even Siri HandsFree when the right turn signal is turned on activating LaneWatch. I suspect that this dual purpose lower screen is the hardware issue that prevents Honda from releasing CarPlay on the 2015/2016 CR-V.
For the 2016 Accord, CarPlay is only available on the EX trim level and above. CarPlay requires a USB/Lightning cable plugged in to your phone and the car. The following link is a good overview of CarPlay on the 2016 Accord.
How does Carplay work?
