How to enable Apple CarPlay on a 2023 Nissan Altima

Setting up Apple CarPlay on your 2023 Nissan Altima is incredibly straightforward. Simply connect your iPhone to the in-vehicle USB port via the charging cord. Your display should show a message asking whether you would like to use Apple CarPlay—all you have to do is select “yes.”

Your touchscreen will automatically turn into an Apple phone display, and you can touch any icon to access its function just like you would on your iOS mobile device. Want to talk to Siri? Just press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel.

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’d like to plug your phone in without Apple CarPlay automatically starting, follow these steps:

Touch “Settings”

Touch “Apps”

Touch “Apple CarPlay”

Touch “Enable after USB Connection” to configure your preferences to “Always,” “Ask,” or “Never”
