What is the reason why the CarPlay in the Avancier 370 cannot be turned on?

When the Apple CarPlay in the Avancier cannot connect, you need to check whether the Apple CarPlay function is disabled on the vehicle's infotainment system and whether the access permissions on the phone are disabled. Additionally, Apple CarPlay is only supported on iPhone 5 or later models with iOS 8.4 or higher installed. Honda Avancier Onboard System: The Honda Avancier supports the use of Apple CarPlay for onboard connectivity. After connecting via the Apple CarPlay function, the phone screen will be projected onto the vehicle's infotainment system, allowing the use of phone apps such as navigation through the infotainment system. Once the voice control function is activated, you can perform voice operations via Siri. At the same time, vehicle status information such as speed and location will be synchronized to the iPhone.
When driving the Avancier 370, I once encountered an issue where CarPlay wouldn't start. I remember it got stuck for a long time when I was trying to set up navigation before a long trip. The main reason was dust or dirt accumulation in the USB port causing poor contact. Try using compressed air to clean it or switch to an Apple-certified cable. The cable must be MFi-certified, otherwise the transmission may be unstable and the system will report errors. On the iPhone, make sure to add Honda's vehicle name to the CarPlay menu in the settings. Also, check if the infotainment system software is outdated. Honda's official website regularly provides updates that can be downloaded and installed via USB. Another possibility is a minor glitch in the entertainment system—restart the system by holding the volume knob and Home button for ten seconds to reset it. As a preventive measure, clean the port monthly and test the connection before long trips to avoid any unexpected issues.
