2 Answers
Prepare an original USB cable and ensure the iOS system is updated to version 9.0 or above. Connect the data cable to the vehicle's USB port, and the system will prompt to enable Siri. The car's infotainment system will automatically launch CarPlay. Here is some information about the Tiguan: 1. Introduction: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a vehicle produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with its price announced on March 26, 2010. This compact SUV made its first appearance to consumers at the 2009 Guangzhou Auto Show. 2. Development: Upon its debut, it received widespread attention and popularity. The introduction of the Tiguan broke the awkward situation of German automakers lacking domestically produced SUV products, while also providing consumers with more and better choices. 3. Structure: The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers four versions (Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline) with a total of seven models. They are equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering excellent performance in both power and fuel efficiency. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, the power is better utilized, offering robust performance while maintaining more environmentally friendly emissions.
When driving the 2021 Tiguan L, connecting CarPlay is very intuitive. The process with my iPhone is: first find an Apple-certified USB cable, plug it into the car's USB port, usually located in the center console or armrest. After connecting, a prompt will pop up on the vehicle's screen—just tap 'Enable CarPlay.' If there's no response, check if CarPlay is enabled in your phone settings or try a different cable. I love using this feature for map navigation and Apple Music while driving—it's convenient and safe to control. Remember to operate it after the vehicle is started to avoid distractions while driving. Also, the car's USB port may support different cable types, so using an original cable can prevent disconnection issues. Bluetooth can assist, but CarPlay mainly relies on a wired connection. Updating your iOS system can make the connection smoother, ensuring you don't need to look at your phone while driving. This is much more reliable than using a separate phone mount.
