Prepare an original USB cable, and it is also recommended to upgrade the iOS system to version 9.0 or above. Connect the data cable to the car's USB port. At this point, you will be prompted to enable Siri on your phone, and the car's system will automatically launch CarPlay. If the CarPlay interface does not appear on the car's main screen, click the CarPlay icon on your phone to launch the system.

I've had a Volkswagen Polo for years and have been using CarPlay smoothly. It mainly works by plugging in a USB cable—locate the USB port in your car, usually on the center console, and connect your iPhone using an original Apple cable. Then, select the CarPlay icon on the car's display, confirm the connection, and your phone will project onto the infotainment system. If your car model supports wireless CarPlay, like the newer Tiguan, you'll need to turn on Bluetooth on your phone, pair the vehicle in the settings, and tap 'Allow' when prompted. A quick tip: make sure your infotainment system is updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues. If it doesn't connect, check the cable or restart your phone and car—these tricks often help. Sorting these details before driving lets you focus better on the road.

What documents are required for a mortgaged vehicle?

Documents required for releasing the mortgage on a used car include proof of identity for both the vehicle owner and the mortgagee; if handled by an agent, the agent's identity proof must also be submitted (if the agent is an organization, the identity proof of the handling personnel is required), along with a written authorization from the vehicle owner; the vehicle registration certificate; original copies of the principal contract and mortgage contract legally signed by the vehicle owner and the mortgagee. Below is relevant information: Usage rights: The buyer only has the right to use the vehicle, not ownership. After the vehicle is mortgaged, it temporarily belongs to the lending institution. Without a mortgage release agreement, the vehicle cannot be transferred even if purchased. Precautions: A mortgaged vehicle must have a copy of the owner's ID card, the mortgage contract, the owner's fingerprint, the vehicle's driving license, and the vehicle itself. Purchase from a legitimate mortgaged vehicle trading website, and it is essential to conduct a thorough vehicle inspection before purchasing.

Is it serious if the chassis is scratched and leaking engine oil?

If the chassis is scratched and leaking engine oil, it is a serious issue and the vehicle should not be driven further. Engine oil leakage refers to the loss of engine oil. The amount of engine oil is closely related to the performance of the car. Insufficient engine oil due to leakage can easily lead to bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, even crankshaft breakage and engine block damage. Below are additional details: Symptoms: This is usually caused by damage to the engine cylinder gasket, oil pan gasket, seals, or failure of the crankshaft front and rear oil seals, camshaft oil seals, or loosened fastening screws. When parked, oil seepage may be observed, and in severe cases, a noticeable reduction in engine oil level will occur, with a large amount of oil accumulating on the engine guard plate. Solution: The exact location of the leak needs to be identified—it could be from the oil pan, oil pan drain plug, dipstick tube, crankshaft front or rear oil seal, camshaft oil seal, valve cover gasket, etc. This is engine oil leakage. It could also be transmission fluid leakage. It is necessary to take the car to a repair shop to inspect the leak and carry out repairs.

Does the Magotan have seat ventilation?

Seat ventilation is only available in the top-end model of the Magotan B8. Below is more information about seat ventilation: 1. Introduction: Seat ventilation is the 'summer cooling device' of car seat air conditioning. Although automatic air conditioning can maintain a constant temperature inside the car during summer, the close contact between the occupant's body and the seat restricts air circulation in the contact area, which is not conducive to sweat evaporation and can make people feel uncomfortable. The unique ventilation circulation system of seat ventilation continuously delivers fresh air through small holes in the seat cushion and backrest, preventing sweat accumulation on the buttocks and back, providing a comfortable riding environment, and effectively improving air circulation in the contact area between the body and the seat surface. 2. Classification: Seat ventilation is divided into blowing type and suction type.

Does Earth Dreams Engine Have Less Carbon Deposits with 95 or 92 Octane?

There is no difference. Whether using 95 or 92 octane gasoline in Earth Dreams engines, it has no relation to carbon deposits inside the engine. Different gasoline octane ratings represent different octane values, primarily affecting the fuel's anti-knock properties. Gasoline Octane Rating: The octane rating indicates the gasoline's anti-knock performance and has absolutely no connection with cleanliness or delaying carbon deposit formation. However, using the wrong engine oil can indeed affect the vehicle. In reality, all gasoline-powered vehicles will inevitably face carbon deposit issues—it's just a matter of sooner or later, more or less. Direct Injection Technology: Honda's Earth Dreams series engines employ direct injection technology, which inherently tends to cause carbon buildup on fuel injectors and intake valves. Currently, there is no effective solution, making the maintenance and upkeep costs of direct injection engines relatively higher. From a usage perspective, as long as you use high-octane fuel normally and change the engine oil regularly (preferably using full synthetic oil), carbon deposits won't affect normal operation.

Who is Responsible for Water-Damaged Cars in Underground Garages?

Insurance companies should be responsible for compensating the losses of insured motor vehicles caused by natural disasters according to the agreement. Damage to cars due to flooding in underground garages falls under the coverage conditions of auto damage insurance. Since parking fees have been paid to the property management company, a legal relationship of paid custody has been established with them. The hazards of water-damaged cars are as follows: Damage to electronic control systems: It can harm the internal electronic control systems of the car. The mixed rainwater is highly corrosive, affecting the functionality of electronic components, especially future usage. Most cars are equipped with electronic control systems (e.g., engine ECU, ABS system, SRS system, GPS navigation, etc.), and water exposure can cause short circuits in the ECU's internal IC circuit boards and rust on connector terminals. Circuit short circuits: This gradually leads to rust on metal parts, causing poor contact in circuits, and even short circuits or burnout. After a car is water-damaged, never attempt to start or turn the engine, as this can severely deform the engine connecting rods. Moreover, forcibly starting the engine often results in the insurance company refusing to compensate.
