Smartphone Integration (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto)
Smartphone integration shows phone apps on the car's screen.
What is Smartphone Integration (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto)?
It works by cable or wirelessly. Navigation, music and messages are available. Voice control reduces distraction. Apple CarPlay works with iPhones and Android Auto with Android phones; most new cars support both. Some newer versions can also show information in the instrument cluster. If the connection drops, a different cable, a phone update or clearing the car's list of paired devices often helps.
How it works
The phone runs the apps and the car displays them.
Why it matters for your car
Use certified cables. Updates may change features.
