To use the CarPlay function in a car, a data cable must be used for connection. It is recommended to use the original data cable that came with the phone. Here are the relevant details: 1. Concept: CarPlay is an in-car system developed by Apple that connects to an iPhone via USB. 2. Features: CarPlay offers a wide range of features, including car navigation, music, phone calls, text messages, and radio. All CarPlay functions can be interconnected with the phone, allowing all operations to be controlled via the phone. However, the navigation feature in CarPlay does not support third-party apps and only works with Apple's built-in navigation system. Music playback can utilize third-party apps, and if making calls is inconvenient, Siri can be used to dial, providing convenience for drivers while on the road.

How to Reverse Park for Beginners?

First, drive past the parking space to observe its dimensions and determine if it's suitable for your car. If the parking space is on the left, turn the steering wheel to the right to guide your car towards the right side, aligning the car body as much as possible with the direction of the parking space. Shift into reverse gear, turn the steering wheel to the left, and slowly reverse; while keeping the rear of the car aligned to enter the parking space, also watch the right front of the car to avoid collisions.

Is the ETC card easily stolen or swiped?

The ETC installed in cars is usually not easily stolen or swiped because the ETC requires inserting a dedicated ETC card, which can only communicate with authorized devices, such as ETC equipment at highway entrances and exits. Handheld devices cannot conduct transactions, so the possibility of theft or swiping after loss is almost nonexistent. However, it is recommended to remove the ETC card when parking to further prevent theft or swiping. ETC Card Binding: There are two types of ETC card binding: one is binding to a credit card, and the other is binding to a debit card. How ETC Works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Computer networking technology is then used for backend settlement processing with the bank, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.
