Acura's Wireless Apple CarPlay
How to Connect to Wireless Apple CarPlay in Your Acura?
If your Acura comes with wireless Apple CarPlay capability, you can access all your smartphone's controls through your vehicle's infotainment touchscreen for optimal connectivity on the go. Those unfamiliar with this popular feature may not know how to connect to their Acura's Apple CarPlay, but Mississauga's Erin Mills Acura is here to provide drivers with a step-by-step guide to activating it. Find out how you can enjoy this Acura technology in just a few simple steps below.
First, you'll need to make sure your smartphone's Bluetooth connectivity has been turned on in your settings, after which you'll press the voice-command button in your steering wheel's controls. This will prompt a Hands-Free Link option to show up in your phone's connectivity settings. Press the hands-free option, and make sure the pairing code that appears on your Acura's digital touchscreen is the same as the code on your phone. If it is, hit Pair on your touchscreen, after which you'll have the option to sync your contacts to your Acura's software. Your infotainment display will then ask whether you'd like to continue strictly with Bluetooth connectivity or with Apple CarPlay. Once you choose to switch over to Apple CarPlay, confirm the change on your phone by allowing the connection.
All that's required of you after that is to set your phone down and enjoy all of its features through your Acura's digital infotainment centre. In addition to phone calls and messaging, you can access your favourite music and podcasts through wireless Apple CarPlay, as well as compatible apps and maps. Not only does this Acura technology keep you connected at the wheel with ease, it also frees up your vehicle's USB input so you can charge any of your other devices.
