Does the Kia Telluride have Apple CarPlay?

Yes, every model of the Kia Telluride since its debut in 2020 has Apple CarPlay included. Enjoy the popular tech feature at no additional cost, even at its lowest trim level!
But what if you’re an Android owner? Don’t worry, Kia Telluride also comes equipped with Android Auto—the equivalent system for those who don’t have an iPhone. 

How to enable Apple CarPlay in a Kia Telluride

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.
