Abstract:

Apple CarPlay is a system that puts some features of your iPhone or iPad onto the infotainment screen of a CarPlay-equipped vehicle, allowing drivers to use those features when driving. Using Apple CarPlay, drivers can get turn-by-turn directions, make calls, send and receive text messages, and listen to music. In this paper, we conduct an actual driving test by connecting an iPhone to a vehicle that supports Apple CarPlay. After driving, we acquire and analyze the CarPlay data recorded on the iPhone in detail. Through the analysis of the collected data, it is possible identify iPhone connection time, the driving destination, the GPS coordinates and speeds of the vehicle during driving, etc. We can accurately reconstruct travelled routes of the vehicle using the identified information. Our approach and results of collecting and analyzing the CarPlay data can be used for vehicle forensics.
