My family also drives a New Bora, and connecting to Carlife is actually quite simple. You need an original USB cable, plug one end into the USB port in the car, which is near the armrest, and the other end into your Android phone. The car's screen will pop up a prompt, and you just need to click to confirm enabling Carlife. On the phone side, you need to enable Developer Options and USB Debugging Mode. Usually, you can find this in the Settings under About Phone—tap the version number repeatedly to unlock Developer Options, then select Allow USB Debugging. Once connected, the car's system can mirror your phone's navigation and music, making driving more convenient. Just remember to set it up before hitting the road—safety first. I often drive long distances, and the navigation is quite accurate, so I don’t have to keep looking down at my phone screen.
