CarPlay Integration

Time cost: 15-20 minutes (if MPNowPlayingInfoCenter already working)

Key Insight

CarPlay uses the SAME MPNowPlayingInfoCenter and MPRemoteCommandCenter as Lock Screen and Control Center. If your Now Playing integration works on iOS, it automatically works in CarPlay with zero additional code.

What CarPlay Reads

iOS Component CarPlay Display
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.nowPlayingInfo CPNowPlayingTemplate metadata (title, artist, artwork)
MPRemoteCommandCenter handlers CPNowPlayingTemplate button responses
Artwork from nowPlayingInfo Album art in CarPlay UI

No CarPlay-specific metadata needed. Your existing code works.
