Apple CarPlay is a convenient feature that allows you to easily access your iPhone's apps, maps, music, and more right on your Kia's touchscreen display. It's a great way to stay connected and entertained while keeping your focus on the road. Many new Kia models come equipped with Apple CarPlay integration. Here's how to get it set up in your Kia.
Step 1: Check Compatibility
First, make sure your iPhone and Kia support CarPlay. CarPlay works with iPhone 5 and later models running iOS 7.1 or higher. Most new Kia models 2017 and later have available CarPlay. Stop by Northtown Kia in Amherst to see which models we currently have in stock that support this great feature. We proudly serve the West Seneca area and are conveniently located for our customers.
Step 2: Connect Your iPhone
To connect CarPlay, first plug your iPhone into your Kia's USB port using an Apple-approved lightning cable. For wireless CarPlay, if your Kia supports it, press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel. Residents of Williamsville can get assistance with this step by visiting our knowledgeable sales team at Northtown Kia.
Step 3: Select CarPlay
Once connected, the CarPlay interface should automatically appear on your Kia's touchscreen. If it doesn't, you can select the CarPlay logo from your car's display or by pressing the voice command button on your steering wheel. Cheektowaga residents can try out the CarPlay interface when they test drive a CarPlay-equipped Kia at our dealership.
Step 4: Start Using CarPlay
You can now access your iPhone's key apps and features directly from your Kia's touchscreen display, or by using Siri voice commands. You'll be able to make calls, listen to music and podcasts, get directions in Apple Maps, and more, all while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Apple CarPlay is an incredibly useful feature to have in your Kia to stay connected and entertained during your drives.
