Magotan can connect to CarPlay. Below are the methods to connect Magotan to CarPlay and the functions of CarPlay: Methods to connect Magotan to CarPlay: Open the settings on your phone, click on General to enter the interface; find the CarPlay button in the new interface and click to jump; follow the prompts to turn on the wireless LAN and then long-press the CarPlay icon on the steering wheel of the vehicle. Functions of CarPlay: CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the United States, serving as a bridge between iPhone applications and the car's digital system, making it easier for drivers to control the devices; users can operate it through the vehicle's built-in touch screen, control buttons, or Siri voice control; it enables functions such as making calls, listening to music, and navigation.
My Magotan was purchased in 2020 and supports CarPlay functionality. The connection method is extremely simple - just plug the original Apple data cable into the USB port inside the center armrest. After connecting, a prompt will automatically appear on the screen, and tapping confirm will complete the connection. I mainly use it for navigation while driving - Apple Maps displays real-time traffic conditions, which is much more accurate than the built-in car navigation. It also allows direct playback of playlists from my phone, and I can answer calls without looking down for my phone. However, it's important to ensure the infotainment system is MIB3 version, as older models may require a center console upgrade. It's best to use original certified data cables, as generic cables bought from roadside vendors often have poor contact issues.
