Android Auto Integration
With easy touchscreen navigation and voice
recognition, Android Auto brings useful infor-
mation and organizes it into simple cards that
appear just when they are needed.
1. Download the Android Auto app from the
Google Play store on your Android-powered
smartphone.
2. Connect your Android powered smartphone
to one of the media USB ports in your
vehicle. If the Android Auto app was not
downloaded, it will begin to download when
you plug in your device.
3. Once the device is connected and recog-
nized, the “Phone” icon on the personalized
menu bar will automatically change to the
Android Auto Icon.
Apple CarPlay Integration
Apple CarPlay is the smarter, safer way to use
your iPhone to get directions with Apple Maps,
listen to Apple Music, make calls and send
messages — all through the Uconnect touch-
screen or with your voice through Siri.
To use CarPlay, make sure you are using iPhone
5 or later, have Siri enabled in Settings, ensure
your iPhone is unlocked for the very first con-
nection only, and then follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPhone to one of the media
USB ports in your vehicle.
2. Once the device is connected and recog-
nized, the “Phone” icon on the personalized
menu bar will automatically change to the
CarPlay icon.
NOTE:
Long Press: Press and hold the VR button to
activate Siri or Google Assistant.
Short Press: Briefly tap the VR button to activate
the native Uconnect voice recognition system.
When using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, be
sure to use the factory-provided cable that
came with your phone, as aftermarket cables
may not work.
