What years don't need phone cable to hook up

I'm shopping for an ecodiesel and would like to know what years automatically hook up Car Play to your phone. My other car has to have a cable hooked to the phone to start Carplay. That is such a pain that I vowed to not buy another car that needs a cable hookup. Thanks

it's not that I want Carplay, I do, I just want it to hook up to my phone without the need for a lightening cable.

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Longhorn. It comes with Uconnect that is bluetooth. Once your phone is connected through bluetooth, it always recognizes your phone.

Is that what Uconnect means?

Dodge trucks do not have car play. You need to check to see if the vehicle you purchase has the u-connect blue tooth installed. if not, there is a kit you can purchase. The touchscreen display should say phone at the bottom. You can see if your phone is compatible by visiting uconnectphone.com. You may need to download the u-connect app from the app store. I want to send you some pics. but I need to restart my computer. Standby

My 2015 automatically connects via bluetooth. Hands free calling, Music streaming.
I Googled and found that Dodge started putting Apple Car Play in 2018 and up high end models. I have an Iphone and it works with either system without a cable. Why are you so hung up on Apple Car Play?

Who is hung up on Apple Car Play? I don't even have it! Seems like you might be confused?
