Does the Lavida Plus support wireless CarPlay?
2 Answers
The Lavida Plus does not support wireless CarPlay. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the United States, which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS usage experience with the dashboard system. Nowadays, many car models support the CarPlay system, enabling hands-free control of the car's multimedia functions through voice commands. 2. Usage: To use CarPlay, first connect your iPhone to the car's infotainment system via a USB cable. Once connected, you can control the in-car multimedia through the iPhone's intelligent voice assistant Siri via voice commands, or through touchscreen operations on the car's display, or via physical buttons on the steering wheel.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Lavida Plus for a year. It supports Apple CarPlay functionality, but only via wired connection; wireless CarPlay is not supported in the native configuration. I use an iPhone and have to plug in a cable to use CarPlay for navigation and music. The wireless version requires additional hardware, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules, which the Lavida Plus doesn't come with. I later purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter to achieve wireless connectivity, which is very convenient. There are no messy cables in the car, and it automatically pairs every time I start the vehicle. However, the lack of native support is a bit of a downside, especially since higher-end models of the same brand have this feature. I recommend checking your vehicle's year manual or consulting a 4S dealership to confirm the details.
