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.
