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.

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.

I drive a Magotan as a ride-hailing driver, and this car definitely supports CarPlay. I use it every day for taking orders, especially since Apple Maps can directly display passenger destinations, which is super convenient. Remember to use the USB port with the phone symbol in the center console when connecting—other charging ports won't work. New Magotan models after 2022 also support wireless CarPlay, though wireless connection drains the battery faster. When I encounter connection issues, I usually turn off the phone's Bluetooth first and then reconnect the cable. Volkswagen's infotainment system is quite reliable; once connected, you can use the steering wheel buttons to switch songs or answer calls. By the way, make sure your iPhone is updated to iOS 10 or above for stable performance.

As a frequent visitor to car modification shops, I've tested CarPlay across three generations of the Magotan. Since the 2018 model year, it's been standard across the entire lineup, but the base version requires manual activation. When connecting, after plugging in the cable, remember to locate the 'app-connect' icon on the central display and tap to activate. A little-known tip: Connection is more stable when parked, as plugging/unplugging while driving may cause system crashes. It's recommended to clean the charging port of your phone monthly, as poor contact is the most common cause of malfunctions. Newer models also support dual-screen display, with navigation on the left and music on the right. However, be aware that modifying the central display screen may affect the factory CarPlay functionality.
