How to set up CarPlay in Nissan Teana?

Taking the 2020 Teana as an example, the Teana only has CarLife and does not support CarPlay. Below is some relevant information about the Teana: 1. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4901×1850×1447mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. 2. Suspension: The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. 3. Powertrain: This generation of Teana comes with two engine options—a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L turbocharged engine (featuring variable compression ratio technology).
I personally use a Teana, and the CarPlay thing depends on the year of your car. For high-end models after 2017 with built-in infotainment screens, just connect your Apple data cable to the USB port in the center armrest (make sure to plug it into the correct one marked with a phone icon), and the CarPlay interface will pop up automatically. If you have an older Teana without this factory feature, the easiest solution is to replace the head unit. My friend spent a little over a thousand to install a third-party Android screen, which works with both Apple and Android devices, and allows direct navigation updates without waiting for the automaker. If you don't want to modify your car, you can buy a CarPlay adapter for wireless connection, but I think it's less stable than replacing the screen. For those with strong technical skills, you could try flashing the system, but it's prone to causing black screens, and dealerships usually won't help you with this.
