How To Set Up Apple CarPlay™ With Nissan

Apple CarPlay™, which allows you to display and control some of your iPhone’s functions on your vehicle’s center display screen, is one of, if not the most, popular features Orlando drivers look for when buying new Nissan vehicles.

If you’re not sure how to set it up in your properly equipped Nissan vehicle, follow these simple steps. 

How Do I Get Apple CarPlay?

1. Connect your iPhone to the in-vehicle USB port via the charging cord
2. Your display should show a message asking whether you would like to use Apple CarPlay – select “yes”

Voila – you’re all set to elevate your driving experience with music streaming, navigation, and communications through Apple CarPlay. Like you would on your phone, touch an icon to access its function. To go back to the Apple CarPlay main menu, touch the home icon in the lower left.

To return to normal vehicle functions or menus, press the “Menu” button. To go back to the Apple CarPlay menu, touch the CarPlay icon or touch info, apps, then Apple CarPlay.

If you don’t want Apple CarPlay to start each time you plug your phone in:

1. Touch settings
2. Touch apps
3. Touch Apple CarPlay
4. Touch Enable after USB Connection to configure your preferences to Always, Ask, or Never

From this menu, you can touch “Nissan’s Help for Apple CarPlay” for a list of useful tips.

How Do I Activate Siri on Apple CarPlay?

To access Siri while connected to Apple CarPlay, press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel. Alternatively, you can touch and hold the home icon on the Apple CarPlay display.
