Yes, you can add Apple CarPlay to a Toyota C-HR. The Toyota C-HR supports Apple CarPlay, which allows you to access your iPhone apps like iTunes, Google Maps, and Spotify through the touchscreen of your vehicle. You can also make phone calls, send messages, and use navigation with voice commands using Siri. To use Apple CarPlay on a Toyota C-HR, you must have an iPhone 5 or newer device with iOS 7.1 or a newer version.
Before you begin, make sure that CarPlay and Siri are enabled on your iPhone. Also, ensure that the “Press Home for Siri” option is enabled under Siri & Search in your iPhone settings.
It’s important to note that the selection of compatible applications is limited, and there may be some restrictions, especially with messenger apps. iMessage and WhatsApp can be controlled almost exclusively via Siri.
To enable CarPlay on your Toyota C-HR’s infotainment system, go to the settings menu, select “Setup,” then “General,” and make sure CarPlay is switched on. Once CarPlay is enabled, you can connect your iPhone to the USB media port using a compatible media cable. The multimedia system should display a prompt, and you can select the “Apple CarPlay” icon to start using it.
Please keep in mind that these instructions are general, and it’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s manual or contact your Toyota dealership for specific instructions and compatibility information.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
