Apple CarPlay Integration — If Equipped
Uconnect works seamlessly with Apple Car-
Play, the smarter, more secure way to use
your iPhone in the car, and stay focused on
the road. Use your Uconnect Touchscreen
display, the vehicle's knobs and controls, and
your voice with Siri to get access to Apple
Music, Maps, Messages, and more.
To use CarPlay, make sure you are using
iPhone 5 or later, have Siri enabled in Set-
tings, that your iPhone is unlocked for the
very first connection only, and then use the
following procedure:
1. Connect your iPhone to one of the media
USB ports in your vehicle.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided Light-
ning cable that came with your phone, as
aftermarket cables may not work.
2. Once the device is connected, the system
displays the CarPlay home screen. Apple
CarPlay automatically launches, but if
not, refer to the Uconnect Owner’sManual Supplement for the procedure to
enable the feature “AutoShow.” You can
also launch it by pressing the CarPlay icon
located in the “Apps” menu. If you use
Apple CarPlay frequently you can move
the app to the menu bar at the bottom of
the touchscreen. Press the “Apps” button
and locate the CarPlay app; then drag and
drop the selected App to replace an exist-
ing shortcut in the main menu bar.
Once CarPlay is up and running on your
Uconnect system, the following features can
be utilized using your iPhone’s data plan:• Phone
• Music
• Messages
• Maps
NOTE:
To use CarPlay make sure that cellular data is
turned on, and that you are in an area with
cellular coverage. Your data and cellular cov-
erage is shown on the left side of the radio
screen.

USB Port
• Connect your compatible device into the
USB Port using a USB cable. USB Memory
sticks with audio files can also be used.
Audio from the device can be played on the
vehicle’s sound system while providing
metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
• When connected, the compatible USB de-
vice can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip
to the next or previous track, browse, and
list the contents.
• The battery charges when plugged into the
USB port (if supported by the specific de-
vice).
• To route the USB cable out of the center
console, use the access cut out.NOTE:
When connecting your device for the first
time, the system may take several minutes to
read your music, depending on the number of
files. For example, the system will take ap-
proximately five minutes for every
1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also dur-
ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess is needed to ensure the full use of your
features and only happens the first time it is
connected. After the first time, the reading
process of your device will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
Bluetooth Streaming Audio
If using a Bluetooth equipped device you may
also be able to stream music to your vehicle'ssound system. Your connected device must
be Bluetooth compatible and paired with
your system (see Uconnect Phone for pairing
instructions). You can access the music from
your connected Bluetooth device by pressing
the Bluetooth button on the touchscreen
while in Media mode.
