How to Screen Mirror on Volkswagen Lavida Navigation?

Insert the car frequency converter into the HDMI port of the vehicle, then press the switch button to screen mirror. The phone needs to support MHL function; the car must have an HDMI interface; an MHL cable is required. It can transmit both video and audio signals from the phone to an external display device.

I find the screen mirroring navigation in my Volkswagen Lavida quite handy. First, confirm your model year supports it—my 2020 version comes with CarPlay and Android Auto. For mirroring, park your car, connect your phone to the car's USB port using the original USB cable (avoid Bluetooth as it's unstable). After starting the car, a menu will pop up on the screen—select Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, then open a map app like Gaode or Baidu, and the navigation will be mirrored. This reduces the risk of looking down while driving, making it safer. I usually set the destination before driving; once mirrored, both voice and route sync up, which is super convenient for long trips. Note: For the first connection, you need to allow the car system access permissions in your phone settings. If issues arise, restart the infotainment system or update your phone's OS.

Using an Android phone to project navigation on the Lavida isn't difficult. First, make sure the Android Auto App is downloaded on your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and connecting via the car's USB port is even better. I prefer setting it up while parked. After starting the car, the Auto option pops up on the screen—just tap it, select the map, and the navigation displays directly on the car screen, much safer than looking at the phone alone. Once projected, you can control the volume, and the route is clear. Some older Lavida models might not be compatible, so it's advisable to check the vehicle manual or consult the dealership. Daily use is super simple—set it up once while parked, and it automatically remembers the settings, connecting seamlessly the next time you drive, hassle-free. However, remember not to adjust settings while the car is moving to avoid lag or crashes—safety first. The projection feature is standard in modern cars, and using it well makes driving more efficient.

The navigation screen mirroring for the Volkswagen Lavida is actually quite simple: After parking, connect your phone to the car's USB port using a data cable. Once the car starts, the screen will prompt you to select the screen mirroring mode—choose CarPlay or Auto, then select your preferred navigation app. The first time I used it, I was a bit confused, but now I'm very familiar with the process: plug in the cable, select the mode, and open the navigation—done in three steps. Once mirrored, the map is displayed on the car screen with fast traffic updates, making it convenient to view without distractions. I recommend beginners try it while parked to ensure everything works before driving off. This feature enhances driving focus and safety.

When using navigation projection on the Lavida, pay attention to some details. Common issues I encounter with this car: iOS phones require the latest system version for CarPlay, same for Android devices; projection features vary significantly across different model years, older versions may need additional modules. For stable projection connection, it's best to use a USB cable, avoid adjusting settings while driving, get it done when parked. It's recommended to check your phone's App permission settings before driving to ensure car access is enabled. The projected display is clear, but if it occasionally freezes, restart the infotainment system. For safety, using projected navigation reduces distractions, and you can customize the display mode, such as switching to full-screen maps, which is convenient for long trips. Updating the infotainment software is also crucial to avoid compatibility issues.
