I've almost always had a

plug in usb

press "ok"

method, no matter what the manufacturer.

Sometimes I have to press the "carplay" icon on the screen, but it's quite rare

The bigger problem is that some cars are USB-C and some are USB-A. I have both cables in my bag though.

I don't bother with wireless car play as my phone always needs charging anyway.



>but it's quite rare

I have to select CarPlay on the Honda I bought last year so it can't be that rare.


I have a Hyundai Santa Fe. It pairs my Android Phone as soon as the car starts and the Google Maps pops on the screen. Zero fumbling. Except when a member of the family Iphone is nearby. Then the Iphone bullies my Android and pairs first.


My Honda actually has wireless charging for my iPhone but I have to plug it in for CarPlay so I basically never use the wireless charging.
