Apple CarPlay™
Connect an Apple CarPlay-compatible iPhone to the system. Use the interface dial to make a phone call, listen to music, and more. Visit the Apple CarPlay website for more information.
Park in a safe place before connecting your iPhone and launching any compatible apps.
- Connect the iPhone to the USB port (2.5A) (see "Basic Audio Operation").
- Apple CarPlay requires you to send vehicle information to Acura. Select Enable Once, Always Enable, or Cancel. Your phone may prompt you to allow access for CarPlay to be launched.
Use these buttons to control Apple CarPlay:
- Smartphone: Enter Apple CarPlay.
- Interface dial: Move the dial to select an item. Press the dial to make the selection.
- Back: Return to the previous screen.
Once connected, you can press and hold the Talk button on the steering wheel (see "Basic HFL Operation") to operate the system using voice commands with Siri Eyes Free. In Apple CarPlay, you have these options:
- Phone: Access your contacts, make phone calls, or listen to voicemail. While connected to Apple CarPlay, calls can only be made through Apple CarPlay, not through Bluetooth HandsFreeLink.
- Music: Play music stored on your iPhone.
- Maps: View a map and operate navigation. You can only use Apple Map or the pre-installed navigation system to set a destination with routing guidance.
- Messages: View and reply to text messages, or have messages read to you aloud by the system.
Depending on use, Apple CarPlay can share certain vehicle information (e.g., vehicle location, speed, and other operating conditions) with the connected iPhone. See Apple's privacy policy for details regarding Apple's use and handling of data uploaded by CarPlay. Use of CarPlay is at user's own risk, and is subject to agreement to the CarPlay terms of use, which are included as part of the Apple iOS terms of use. CarPlay vehicle integration is provided "as is," and Acura cannot guarantee CarPlay operability or functionality now or in the future due to, among other conditions, changes in CarPlay software/Apple iOS, service interruptions, or incompatibility or obsolescence of vehicle-integrated hardware or software. See dealer for details. Only use CarPlay when conditions allow for you to do so safely. See your Owner's Manual at Open Web Page for further license and warranty terms.
