Turning on Apple CarPlay is a fairly straightforward process. Begin by selecting “Setup” on your infotainment screen. Next, click “Phone Projection,” followed by “Apple CarPlay.” Finally, make sure the “Enable Apple CarPlay” box is checked.

Now that Apple CarPlay is turned on, you can pair your iPhone with your SUV. Do so by connecting your phone with an Apple Lightning to USB cable, and then click “Allow” when prompted. An Apple CarPlay icon should now be on the home screen of your infotainment system and ready to access your iPhone’s applications.
