First, open the CarPlay settings in your phone's general settings. Then, launch the CarPlay application on the car's display screen. Finally, establish a connection via the car's Bluetooth or a USB cable.

Using CarPlay in the Avancier is quite straightforward. I often drive this car for my daily commute, simply connecting my iPhone to the vehicle's USB port with the original cable. On the first connection, a prompt pops up on the phone - just tap 'Allow Access'. After starting the car, the CarPlay icon appears on the center display, and one tap gets you into the system. I typically use Apple Maps for navigation or play Apple Music, with Siri voice control being especially convenient for hands-free operation while driving. It's super practical that you can charge while using it when the battery is low. Remember to regularly update both iOS and the vehicle's software to avoid bugs interfering with the driving experience. On long trips, pairing podcasts or navigation with seat heating makes driving even more enjoyable.

Driving the Avancier with my family, CarPlay settings make the journey more relaxing. The basic steps are: Keep the iPhone unlocked, connect it to the car's USB port with a cable, the system automatically detects it after ignition, and tap CarPlay when it pops up on the screen. First-time setup requires granting phone communication permissions. After that, the whole family can share it, like playing Spotify playlists or checking routes, and Siri switches with a voice command without taking hands off the wheel. Don’t forget to turn on Bluetooth for better stability. When the AC is in auto mode, CarPlay doesn’t interfere with temperature control, and recirculation saves fuel while being convenient. Check the cable for wear monthly to prevent sudden disconnections. Listen to audiobooks during traffic jams—safe and a great way to pass time.

The CarPlay operation in the Crown is straightforward. Start the car, connect your iPhone to the vehicle's USB with a cable, and tap the CarPlay entry on the screen. After the initial setup, it loads automatically next time. I use it for navigation or answering calls during my commute, with Siri responding quickly, keeping hands away from the screen for safety. When the battery is below 50%, connecting also charges it efficiently. It supports most Apple apps, with Waze providing real-time traffic updates to avoid congestion. Keeping the software up to date minimizes lag. During my half-hour commute, the music never stops, making the drive less monotonous.
