How to Use Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® In Your Jeep

Most new vehicles available these days have available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. These features fully integrate your smartphone with your vehicle, so that Jeep Apple CarPlay® can be used to play your music, listen to podcasts, and do so much more as you’re on your Whitewater commute. So, does Jeep have Apple CarPlay® on all its vehicles and how do you use it? Drive Burtness covers how to use Jeep Apple CarPlay® below!

How to Set Up Jeep Apple CarPlay®

The Jeep Wrangler Apple CarPlay® and other Jeep Apple CarPlay® systems are pretty intuitive, but it’s worth covering how to use it so everyone in Orfordville can enjoy this exciting feature! First, make sure you’ve got the UConnect® system on your Jeep vehicle. You should see the button for this system on your central console. Now, follow these simple steps for Jeep Wrangler Apple CarPlay® and Apple CarPlay® on other Jeep vehicles:

• Plug your Apple phone into the USB port of your vehicle. Your central console should automatically light the Apple CarPlay® touchscreen button.
• Go to the Projection Manager section and make sure that the Smartphone Device Mirroring section is selected. Now, you should be able to use your phone apps on your vehicle touchscreen!
• Some vehicles support wireless CarPlay®, which you can access by going to Settings > General > Carplay on your vehicle
