How to Connect a Phone to the Navigation System in Trumpchi GS3?
2 Answers
Simply plug in the corresponding interfaces, and both the phone and the car's screen will prompt that they are connecting. Wait a few seconds, and the phone's screen will be mirrored onto the car's display. When the phone's navigation is projected onto the screen, it is much more user-friendly than the car's built-in navigation system. Direct screen mirroring eliminates the need for a car phone mount. Before connecting the phone, ensure that the USB debugging mode is enabled on the phone. Typically, the USB debugging mode can be found in the Developer Options interface. (For Android phones only).
When driving the Trumpchi GS3, I wanted to connect my phone for navigation and found that the most straightforward method was using a data cable. Usually, after getting in the car, I plug my phone into the USB port on the center console using the original USB cable. At this point, the car's infotainment system will pop up a prompt, asking you to choose between CarPlay or Android Auto—provided your phone's operating system supports it. When I use an iPhone, it automatically switches to the CarPlay interface, displaying both navigation and music in sync. Voice control makes operations very convenient. If it doesn't connect, remember to check if USB debugging is enabled in your phone's settings and ensure the car's infotainment system is updated to the latest version, as compatibility issues can cause lag. Once connected, there are many benefits, such as real-time map updates, traffic alerts, and not having to glance at your phone while driving, making it much safer. This method is simple, reliable, and suitable for all types of phones.
