The usage method of Corolla Carlife is: 1. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your phone and the car's navigation system to achieve pairing and interconnection; 2. The car navigation interface will display its own name and pairing password, enable both the mobile data connection and personal hotspot functions on your phone; 3. Swipe your phone screen and click the AirPlay mirroring icon, then the phone interface will display the screen mirroring option, simply click to select. The Corolla is a compact car under FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.

I've used Carlife on my Corolla, and the connection process feels pretty straightforward. First, you need to download and install the Baidu Carlife app on your phone, which supports both iOS and Android, but it's recommended to use the original USB cable to avoid compatibility issues. Then, after getting in the car, connect your phone to the car's USB port—usually the one under the center console—while the car is parked. Next, start the vehicle's power, and once the Carlife icon appears on the car's display, just tap to enter. The first time you use it, your phone might prompt you to confirm connection permissions. Once connected, you can control navigation, music, or make calls directly from the car's screen. Using voice commands while driving is safer and helps avoid distractions. If you're used to something like CarPlay, Carlife's advantage is free map updates and more options, making it practical for daily commutes. Just remember not to operate the connection while driving—safety first, as it can easily distract you.
