[LeLila]

First, open the phone settings, find the device connection, then locate and click on the wireless screen mirroring option, and wait for the system to search for the car's code. Meanwhile, click on the multimedia option on the central control screen, select the mobile device, and then choose the new device. Next, select screen sharing, and after clicking, the car's code will be displayed. At this point, the same code will also appear on the phone. Then select it, and after selection, the central control screen will display whether to connect. Choose to connect, and the connection will be successful. Once connected, the phone screen will be successfully mirrored onto the central control screen. The advantage of screen mirroring is that it makes it easier for us to watch movies, videos, etc. Next, let's focus on how to connect an Apple phone to CarPlay and what to do if the connection fails. First, find the mobile device in the car's multimedia system, select the new device, and click on the Apple CarPlay option. Then, open the phone settings, click on the general settings, and select CarPlay. Search for the car's code, and once found, click on the corresponding code. The car will then prompt whether to confirm the connection; click confirm. At this point, the phone will require Bluetooth pairing. Note that both Bluetooth and WiFi need to be turned on simultaneously. At this stage, the phone will prompt whether to allow the phone's contacts to sync with CarPlay; click allow. The car will then display "Do you wish to use Apple CarPlay?" Many people select the top option here, which is why many fail to connect. The correct choice is the bottom option: "Confirm prompt and connect with CarPlay." After clicking, the phone will ask "Do you want to use CarPlay?" Select "Use CarPlay." This will successfully connect to CarPlay. If CarPlay fails to connect, it is recommended to try connecting with a different phone or restart the phone and follow the above steps again. If it still doesn't connect, try pressing and holding the car system's volume button until the system turns off and restarts, which may resolve the issue. Additionally, after selecting CarPlay on the phone, you can choose to forget the car and reconnect. On the car's side, you can delete the phone device from the multimedia's mobile device list and reconnect. Following these steps will ensure a successful connection.
