3 Answers
To project navigation screen on Lavida Plus, insert the car frequency converter into the vehicle's HDMI port and press the switch button to perform screen projection operation on your phone. Below is an introduction about Lavida: 1. Overview: Lavida (LAVIDA) is Shanghai Volkswagen's first independently developed A-class car, launched in June 2008, serving as an important model in Volkswagen's global product strategy. 2. Design: While continuing the "dynamic and fashionable" design concept of A-class cars, it also embodies DNA design - "fusion". 3. Features: As a model specially tailored for Chinese consumers, Lavida maintains the excellent quality of German design while incorporating aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements. Lavida's design language injects more luxury and grandeur into A-class cars, reshaping consumers' traditional impressions of the A-class car market.
I recently figured out how to get the Lavida Plus's screen mirroring navigation working. First, connect your phone to the front USB port using the original data cable—CarPlay for iPhones and Baidu CarLife for Android. Remember to enable USB debugging in the developer options on your phone beforehand. Once connected, the central display will automatically pop up a prompt—just click confirm. Navigation apps like Amap or Baidu Maps work fine, and the multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel can control map zoom. Once, I forgot to turn on my phone's GPS and the positioning was off—turns out the car system needs location-sharing permissions from the phone. Wireless screen mirroring requires an extra module and isn’t cost-effective, so the data cable is still the most stable option. For long drives using navigation, if your phone overheats, remember to cool it down with the AC vent.
The screen mirroring function of Lavida Plus is actually quite straightforward. Prepare a good quality data cable, and you'll find two USB ports under the center console—plug into the one with the phone icon. For iPhones, the CarPlay interface will automatically pop up, while Android users need to download the Baidu CarLife APP in advance. During the first connection, allow the car system to access your phone's permissions. I prefer to place frequently used navigation apps on the car's home screen for automatic connection the next time I get in the car. Note that the car screen has limited resolution, so avoid running too many background apps on your phone to maintain smooth operation. Additionally, I found that you can play music from your phone simultaneously while navigating, but WeChat voice messages can interrupt the navigation sound, which is quite annoying.
