How to activate CarPlay in the 2020 Sylphy?
2 Answers
First, confirm that both the vehicle model and your phone support CarPlay functionality, then connect your iPhone using a USB cable. After connecting your iPhone with a USB cable, CarPlay will automatically activate. Press the home button and then touch the desired audio source. To return to CarPlay, press the home button and touch "Apple CarPlay".
As a 2020 Sylphy owner, I was also quite nervous when activating CarPlay for the first time, since I don't often tinker with such high-tech stuff. The manual explains it simply: first make sure your car supports CarPlay—my top trim model has this feature. Then find an original Apple data cable—don't use off-brand ones as they often have poor contact—and plug it into the USB port under the center console, usually located near the armrest. The car's screen will immediately pop up a prompt; just select CarPlay activation. On the iPhone side, Siri must be enabled. The first connection will show an authorization box—tap 'Trust' and enter your password to confirm. I had some unsuccessful attempts, but restarting the car's system or iPhone fixed it, and then I could play music and use navigation—super convenient. Don't forget to update iOS to the latest version for better security. The whole process took about five minutes, and it doesn't conflict with using Bluetooth while driving normally.
