To start using wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, you first have to connect your smartphone to the infotainment system via Bluetooth. During the pairing process, a message will pop up on the infotainment system & on your smartphone asking you if you would like to connect Apple carPlay or Android Auto. Once you accept, the infotainment system will then connect CarPlay or Android Auto automatically every time it detects your phone in the vehicle.
Add that’s it! It really is as simple as connecting your smartphone via Bluetooth. However, there is one drawback to using wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. It drains your phone’s battery much more quickly. As well, because it’s not plugged in via a USB cable, your phone is not being charged. But if your vehicle has a wireless charging pad, you could place it there and have it recharge while Apple CarPlay or Android Auto are running.
