2 Answers
Using mobile app functions via AppLink: Press the voice button. Say "mobile applications." Say the name of the mobile app, then state the command you wish to perform, such as "favorite." To view the app menu: Open the mobile app you want to use. Press the right arrow button to enter the app menu. Within the mobile app menu, you can scroll through the app's functions. Press the left arrow button to exit the app menu. Below is a detailed introduction to Applink: 1. APPLink enables interaction between the SYNC system and mobile applications. In many internet-connected vehicle models, owners can use their phones to control specific functions of the vehicle. Through APPLink, you can also control and use mobile apps on the central display screen without needing to install third-party software in the vehicle. 2. AppLink offers many advantages. For example, under the format of mobile applications, AppLink allows the SYNC system to exchange information through the transport layer, enabling functions such as data transmission, commands, and application control.
I previously chose a car model with Applink functionality when switching vehicles, and it's really convenient to use. The method is quite simple: before driving, ensure your phone is compatible, such as an iPhone or Android device. Turn on the phone's Bluetooth function, then activate the in-car SYNC system, usually by finding the Applink option in the main menu. Next, pair the phone, and the system will recognize supported apps like Baidu Maps or NetEase Cloud Music—just select them directly on the screen. I use it for navigation and playing music, keeping my hands on the wheel for safety and ease. Just make sure the Bluetooth signal is strong and the phone isn’t too far away; if it disconnects occasionally, simply reconnect. I use it for daily commutes and long trips—after the initial setup, it connects automatically every time I drive, reducing distractions and enhancing the driving experience. Also, I recommend regularly updating the car’s system firmware, as some new features work even better.
