Probably being thick but can’t get this to work. Should be wireless as 2021 model. Read the good to know app and even went for what I thought was the Manual in the boot only to find out all 4 books were differing language version for the mobile connect charger!

Managed to get the car play symbol up in devices but when I push it nothing happens. Phone Wi-fi and Bluetooth on. What am I missing?

Edit to add, just thought when setting up at dealers I had to skip a step as the barcode stage wouldn’t connect to the phone for something. Could this be to do with the issue?

Apple Music all connects ok?

No one help on this one? Not sure what I’m doing wrong? Can’t get the car play symbol next to the other media options? In devices can see the car play sign but when I push it nothings happened?

Have you tried to plug the phone in with a cable? That should work just fine. I do not have wireless CarPlay so can not help with that.

It works for me. Have you allowed wireless CarPlay from your phone? What software are you running on your phone?

One thing that worked with my wife's Audi with wireless CarPlay:
  • connect your phone to bluetooth
  • plug in your phone to the car's USB and enable CarPlay from your phone
  • make sure CarPlay is working
  • next time you start your car, wireless CarPlay will work
Ironically, I didn't want to connect my phone to wireless CarPlay, because it's my wife's car and having both phones in the car when we are together created uncertainty about which phone the car was choosing. Drove me crazy until I deleted the Bluetooth profile for my phone.

Ok ta, maybe worth a shot.

How does car play get installed as I dint have an icon yet on the media function?

When U connect via USB (port #1), it will come up automatically by trying your phone. Make sure your phone is unlocked so that you can authorize the car to access the phone. Then you will see CarPlay come up on the Home screen on your car.

Still can’t make head nor tail of this. Bought the lead and connected ok, and and as you said after a couple of attempts it did seems to load wirelessly.

Although now I can only get this screen, and non of the buttons on the right hand side work. Originally when it loaded it had nav / text/ music and I could click on options. Now it only works for calls.

Also, it seems to knock out the phones so they do t work hands free. I admit I’m a novice and this is my first car play use, and manual no help.

Does it have this same problem when connected via the cable?

As I have a 2020 (no wireless CarPlay), I cannot get you past this point. I was using tips from my wife's Audi that has wireless CarPlay.

Will get my 2021 on Monday - obviously will attempt to setup wireless carplay. Will let you know if it fails for me as well or if it goes all right and what the setup sequence is.

Have you tried to unplug the phone, lock the car and wait 30 min or more and try again. You seem to be connected in your photo but it sounds like it is frozen?

I am not sure what you mean by

Once CarPlay is connected Bluetooth Handsfree should no longer be active.

You could also try to restart your iPhone as well to check there is no hang up in it.
