CarPlay Question

[Crstfr]

i still haven't been able to get this to work.. .. i've tried several usb ports.. i hit projection... says nothing available...

 

i go into carplay on my iphone, i do usb only, then hit the talk button like it says.. but i still cant get it going.. .. one thing i haven't tried is a usb to lighting that came with the apple phone.. i'm using an aftermarket.... you think that might have something to do with it?

 

 

any tips?.. .

 

 

thanks guys

Since I seen you just post for others to search this morning.

 

Turn about it fair play and google is your friend.

haha just being playful

 

I know with droid you just plug it in and comes up on the screen to install the app onto infotainment system. This probably means for apple you need to plug it in and then performe a seance and then spin around three times saying 'jobs is my savior'. That is usually how apple stuff works in comparison.

Use the original Apple lighting cable. I read somewhere that the aftermarket ones don't work sometimes.

I would try the regular cable like others have said. Many of he aftermarket cables are Power Only. This means they won't connect to transfer data. You can get an aftermarket cable from Amazon that is Apple certified and it supports charging and data transfer. Hope this helps

Bingo, it needs to be a SYNC cable.
