CarPlay is not a mode you activate on your phone; it requires a compatible car or head unit. To connect, ensure your car or head unit supports CarPlay, then use a USB cable or enable wireless pairing if available. Once connected, your iPhone will automatically switch to CarPlay mode. You can control apps, make calls, and use navigation directly from your car's display. For a smooth setup, ensure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version and Siri is enabled.
