Does the Magotan support CarPlay?
2 Answers
Premium and higher trims support it, while the Luxury trim does not. The iOS system offers full support, but for Android systems, only phones with CarPlay functionality are compatible. Connect via a data cable to the USB port, swipe to the CarPlay function in the central control screen menu, and select it to establish the connection. Below are detailed introductions about CarPlay: 1. Functionality: The purpose of CarPlay is to allow drivers to access all iPhone features without using their hands, including playing music, navigation, calls, reading messages, and even watching online videos. CarPlay enables the use of most basic iPhone functions through the car's control panel. Some of these features include the Siri voice assistant tool, iTunes music playback, Apple Maps, and messaging services. With CarPlay, drivers can make and receive calls without taking their hands off the steering wheel and can also listen to the contents of voicemails. 2. How it works: It seamlessly integrates the iOS 7.1 official version system with the car's dashboard system.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've personally experienced the CarPlay feature in the Magotan, and it feels absolutely fantastic! In daily driving, simply connect your iPhone to the center console with a USB cable, and the screen immediately displays Apple Maps and music apps, with fast navigation updates and smooth music playback. Wireless CarPlay is supported in post-2020 models, eliminating the hassle of cables, making it especially convenient for listening to Spotify or NetEase Cloud Music. Volkswagen gradually introduced CarPlay in the Magotan starting in 2016, and now most models are compatible. It also greatly enhances safety—voice control for calls and messages helps avoid distractions while driving. The only thing to note is that older models might require a software update, but overall, it's a huge plus and highly recommended.
