To turn on Apple CarPlay, follow these steps:
- Ensure Compatibility: Make sure your car and stereo system are compatible with Apple CarPlay.
- Stereo Mode: Verify your car stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode. Some cars require a USB connection initially.
- iPhone Wi-Fi: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and ensure Wi-Fi is turned on.
- CarPlay Network: Tap the CarPlay network (usually your car's Bluetooth name), and check that Auto-Join is enabled.
- CarPlay Settings: Navigate to Settings > General > CarPlay and select your car from the list.
If your car supports wireless CarPlay, your iPhone should automatically connect when you start the car, provided Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled. If it doesn't connect automatically, you may need to select CarPlay from your car's infotainment system. If using a USB connection, plug your iPhone into the appropriate USB port in your car.
