Right now there's 2 options.

Either the manufacturers load it onto the car when its built or you can buy the standalone system itself. Apple has partnered with car manufacturers like Honda, Ford and Kia and select models will likely come with it.

Pioneer recently came out with their own standalone system with CarPlay which you could install yourself.

It would be interesting to see if they give you the options of choosing what system you want when you initially purchase your car. CarPlay vs AndroidAuto vs Other ones.




For Ford that would be a very smart move, as the current Ford dash UI's are usually trashed for bad design in every review. I don't see Ford mentioned but its logo is among those shown at the bottom of the carplay page (https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/).
