Does the Sylphy have CarPlay?

The Sylphy does not have CarPlay. Below is an introduction to the vehicle's infotainment system: 1. Components: The infotainment system generally refers to the in-car navigation system. The in-car navigation system mainly consists of a host unit, display screen, operation keyboard (remote control), and antenna. It enables digital intelligent navigation for outdoor exploration and travel, featuring accurate maps, geographic information, and clear route guidance. 2. Functionality: Whenever the vehicle approaches an intersection or turn, the in-car GPS voice system provides turn-by-turn voice prompts to the user. This helps avoid unnecessary detours. It offers full voice guidance, allowing the driver to navigate without needing to look at the display, making driving safer and more comfortable.

The Sylphy Zhixiang edition I bought last year came with CarPlay, and connecting an iPhone via the data cable is super convenient. However, it depends on the specific model year and configuration. For example, higher-trim models from 2020 onwards generally have this feature. But the base Comfort edition might not include CarPlay and may require an upgrade to the infotainment screen for support. When buying a car, it's best to confirm with the salesperson directly or test the connection with your own phone. The Sylphy's infotainment system is actually quite smart—with CarPlay, navigation and music are directly mirrored to the center screen, which is much better than the built-in maps. If you're buying a used car, you can check the vehicle's configuration sheet. If it doesn’t have CarPlay, you can buy a conversion module on Taobao for a few hundred yuan to make it work.

A few days ago, I accompanied a friend to a Nissan 4S store to check out the Sylphy and specifically tested the CarPlay function. The salesperson mentioned that for the 2023 Sylphy models, except for the base version, all other trims come with wireless CarPlay as standard. The actual experience was indeed smooth—once paired via Bluetooth, the phone automatically connects, allowing the use of Siri and Apple Maps without needing a cable. However, for Sylphy models before 2020, it depends on luck. Some owners reported that older infotainment systems might require a software update to support it. In my opinion, this feature is quite important now, making long-distance navigation more convenient and safer. Before purchasing, it's best to check the configuration list carefully or ask the salesperson to demonstrate it on the spot to avoid the frustration of finding it unusable after buying.

Whether the Sylphy has CarPlay depends on the specific model. Newer models like those from 2022 onwards generally support CarPlay. However, for older models such as the 2018 version, which still used the older infotainment system, an additional module is required to enable CarPlay. It's recommended to check your car's center console screen model; you can download the configuration manual from Nissan's official website for verification. If your car has CarPlay, it's very convenient—you can directly switch songs or make calls using the steering wheel buttons, and it's more stable than the built-in Bluetooth. If your car doesn't have this feature, don't worry; you can replace the head unit with one that supports CarPlay for around a thousand yuan, or simply use a phone mount for navigation.
