Locate Parked Car Using Apple Maps on iPhone

The “Show Parked Car Location” feature in Apple Maps makes use of Bluetooth technology to mark the exact location of your Parked Car and it can provide directions to the location of your Parked Car.

All that is required to use this feature is to pair iPhone with the Bluetooth System of the Car. This feature works even if your car does not support Apple Play.

If your car does not support Bluetooth, you can consider adding Bluetooth to your car by going for an easy to install Bluetooth Car kit (anywhere from $35 and more).

How Does iPhone Locate Parked Car?

Once iPhone is paired with the Car’s Bluetooth System, it automatically connects to the Car’s Bluetooth System, whenever you get into the car and switch it on.

When you reach your destination and switch-off the Car, iPhone gets disconnected from the Bluetooth system on your Car. When this happens, iPhone automatically marks the location of your car with a Parked Car Marker.

When you return to the Car and switch it ON, iPhone gets connected to the Bluetooth System on your Car and removes the Parked Car Marker.

Step 1. Enable Parked Car Reminder On iPhone

The Parked Car Reminder is enabled by default on iPhone, you can confirm this by going to Settings > Maps and making sure that the toggle next to Show Parked Location is set to ON position.
