Just like Phone, CarPlay
allows you to use Siri to
send or reply to text
messages. Siri can also
read incoming text mes-
sages, but driver’s will
not be able to read mes-
sages, as everything is
done via voice.
Maps
To use your Apple Maps
for navigation on your
Uconnect
system,
launch CarPlay, and
push and hold the VR
button on the steering
wheel to use Siri to set
your desired destination.
Alternatively, choose a
Nearby destination by
pressing Destinations and selecting a category,
by launching Siri from the destinations page, or
even by typing in a destination.
NOTE:
•
If the VR button is not held, and is only
pushed, the native Uconnect VR will
prompt you and any navigation command
said will launch the native Uconnect navi-
gation system.
•
If you are using the native Uconnect navi-
gation system, and you try and start a new
route using CarPlay, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up will appear asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect navi-
gation to iPhone navigation. A pop-up will
also appear, asking if you’d like to switch,
if an CarPlay navigation is currently in use
and you attempt to launch a native
Uconnect route. Selecting “Yes” will
switch the navigation type to the newly
used method of navigation and a route will
be planned for the new destination. If “No”
is selected the navigation type will remain
unchanged.
Apps
To use a compatible app with CarPlay, you must
have the compatible app downloaded, and you
must be signed in to the app. Refer to http://
