Whether you’re jamming out to your favorite playlist or navigating to a new restaurant around Detroit, an integrated smartphone allows you to stay connected to the information you need on the road. If you’re wondering how to connect Apple CarPlay or how to use Android Auto without USB, we have the answers for you at Victory Toyota of Canton! Read on to learn how to establish your connectivity options in your new Toyota and stay connected on your trips around town.

How to Set Up Apple CarPlay

Thankfully, learning how to connect your iPhone to your car before getting on Ann Arbor roads is pretty straightforward. Start by ensuring your phone is compatible with your vehicle. It’s likely that an iPhone 5 and higher can be paired to your Toyota. Then, follow these steps for how to set up Apple CarPlay:

  1. Make sure Siri is on by going to “Settings” and “Siri & Search.”
  2. Connect your phone with a cable into the CarPlay USB Port. 
  3. Then, navigate to the “Settings” menu again, and select “General” and “CarPlay.” Your vehicle will appear in the “Available Cars” list.
  4. Press and hold the Voice Control button on your steering wheel, or hold the CarPlay Home button on your touchscreen.
  5. Once Siri activates, you’re ready to head out on the road with your favorite apps and playlists. 

If your vehicle and iPhone are able to connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay, connecting your phone isn’t too different. Simply ensure your bluetooth is enabled instead of connecting to a USB cable. Then, locate “General” and “CarPlay” in the settings menu, and follow the remaining steps mentioned above. 

How to Use Android Auto Without USB

While you can definitely use Android Auto without a USB, you will still need a USB for the initial setup. After you’ve connected your phone to your vehicle, you can then wirelessly use your Android to connect to your favorite apps. Start the process by checking if your smartphone and vehicle are compatible with Android Auto. Here’s how to use Android Auto wireless in your Toyota:

  1. Make sure your phone’s bluetooth is activated and the Android Auto system in your vehicle is enabled.
  2. Download the Android Auto app from Google Play, or plug your phone into the car’s USB port to follow the download prompts.
  3. You’ll be given on-screen prompts to follow to complete the setup for the Android Auto app.

It’s that simple. You’re now ready to have access to all the information you need on your Dearborn trips with your integrated smartphone!
