Can you use Apple CarPlay with an Android phone? Sadly, you can’t. Even though CarPlay and Android Auto do similar things, each run on their respective manufacturer’s operating system. These are different on a fundamental level and are not compatible.
How do I connect my Android to Apple CarPlay?
Here’s how you go about connecting:
- Plug your phone into the CarPlay USB port — it’s usually labeled with the CarPlay logo.
- If your car supports a wireless Bluetooth connection, go to Settings > General > CarPlay > Available Cars and select your car.
- Make sure your car is running.
What phones are compatible with Apple CarPlay?
CarPlay will work with iPhone 5 or newer phones. They must have iOS 7.1 or newer firmware. Google announced Android Auto in 2014, but it had been working with automakers before the announcement.
