To use your iPhone in your car without CarPlay, you can connect via Bluetooth or an AUX cable. First, ensure your vehicle's stereo is set to Bluetooth or AUX mode. For Bluetooth, open your iPhone's Settings, tap Bluetooth, then select your car from the list. If using an AUX cable, plug one end into your iPhone's headphone jack (or Lightning to 3.5mm adapter) and the other into your car's AUX input. This allows you to play music, make calls, and use voice commands with Siri.
