How to connect Corolla CarPlay?

Wireless CarPlay connection is first paired with the car's system via mobile Bluetooth, and then connected via Wi-Fi. Here is an introduction to wireless CarPlay connection: 1. Integration with the navigation dashboard system: CarPlay seamlessly integrates the user's iOS device and iOS experience with the navigation dashboard system in CarPlay. 2. If the user's car is equipped with CarPlay: You can connect devices such as iPhone and use the car's built-in display and control buttons, or interact with it using Siri's hands-free function.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years and often help friends connect to CarPlay. The whole process isn't difficult. You'll need an original Apple data cable and make sure your car has a USB port that supports CarPlay—in the Corolla, it's usually the one inside the center console. Start the car, plug one end of the cable into the car's USB port and the other end into your iPhone, then unlock the phone screen. The car's multimedia system will automatically pop up a prompt—just agree to trust the device and select the CarPlay icon. The first connection might take a few minutes, so ensure your phone is updated to the latest iOS version and the car's software is also up to date. Avoid using non-original cables, as they often fail or charge slowly. If there's no response, check if the cable is plugged in securely and whether the USB port is clogged with dust. It's a simple process—once connected, navigation, music, and calls will sync automatically, which is very convenient. I recommend regularly cleaning the ports to prevent malfunctions.
