I know CarPlay well! First, plug the original data cable into the USB port under the Sagitar's center console—not the charging port. After starting the car, your unlocked iPhone will pop up a 'Allow CarPlay' prompt; just tap 'Yes' to pair successfully. Remember to enable Bluetooth and Siri on your phone, or it won't connect. Once connected, the infotainment screen switches to Apple's interface, displaying navigation and music clearly. If it fails, try rebooting the system: hold the center console power button for over 10 seconds until the screen goes black before releasing. I've helped friends fix connection issues many times—the original cable is the most reliable!
Done in Minutes: First, locate the 'App-Connect' icon on the car's infotainment screen and tap it, then turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your phone. At this point, connect your phone to the USB port in the center console using a data cable, and a prompt to use CarPlay will pop up on your phone. Here's the key! You need to find 'CarPlay' in the device list displayed on the car's screen and check it. Many people miss the final step: go to 'Settings > General > CarPlay' on your phone and enable the privacy location permission, otherwise the map won't work. Friendly reminder: Android users, don't bother—the Sagitar only supports CarPlay.
