September 2016
This document is valid for Astra (produced as of Aug. 2016) and MOKKA X (produced as of Jul. 2016).
A: It's simple. Just connect your compatible iPhone (iOS 5 or later) with the infotainment system with a lightning
cable to start Apple CarPlay. There is no service update of your vehicle required.
Q: My vehicle is equipped with an older infotainment system which is not compatible with Apple CarPlay. Can I
update my vehicle's infotainment system and make it compatible with CarPlay?
A: No. Compatibility with Apple CarPlay cannot be added to an older infotainment system.
Q: Is there a cost for Apple CarPlay?
A: Apple CarPlay compatibility is a functionality of the embedded IntelliLink infotainment system and is not a
separate feature. This feature carries no additional cost. Some apps that you access in the vehicle through the
compatible phone may enable in-app purchases or use your phone's data, which could impose additional costs,
especially when roaming in another country. That includes music streaming apps and navigation apps, for
example. If your vehicle is equipped with an OnStar® 4G LTE with available Wi-Fi hotspot (not available in all
markets), you can connect your compatible phone and use the vehicle's data plan.
Q: How can I easily identify whether or not my vehicle's infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay?
A: If your vehicle's infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay, a "PROJECTION" icon is shown on the
home screen of the infotainment system.
Q: How do I get started with Apple CarPlay?
A: First, make sure you have the latest available iOS version installed on your iPhone.
Check if your iPhone supports Apple CarPlay and if CarPlay is available in your country. To use CarPlay, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure that Siri® is enabled on your iPhone.
2. Connect your iPhone to the infotainment system with a lightning cable. For best performance, use your
phone's factory-provided lightening cable.
3. Unlock your iPhone and allow CarPlay to access your iPhone. If CarPlay does not start automatically, press
on the CarPlay icon on the home screen of the infotainment system. Please note that some functions of
CarPlay, like music streaming or Siri® voice recognition, might require a 3G or 4G Internet connection.
Q: How do I operate Apple CarPlay?
A: After you start Apple CarPlay, the CarPlay home screen and available apps are shown on the infotainment
system screen. More apps might be available on additional pages of the home screen that you can access by
swiping your finger left or right on the screen. Tap on any app icon to start the app. To go back to the home screen,
tap the CarPlay home button on the lower left of the screen. Press and hold the CarPlay home button to start Siri®
voice control. You can also press and hold the voice button on the steering wheel to start Siri®.
Q: How do I start Siri® and what can I say?
A: To start Siri®, press and hold the voice button on the steering wheel control or press and hold the CarPlay home
button. Please note that Siri® might require a 3G or 4G Internet connection. While using Siri®, you can make calls,
get directions, play music, ask about the weather or many of the other things you use Siri® for on your iPhone.
Q: How can I change back to my vehicle's infotainment system while Apple CarPlay is running to listen to a radio
station?
A: On the infotainment system controls, press the home button to switch to the infotainment system. Press and hold
the home button to switch back to CarPlay. Tip: Use the buttons on the steering wheel or infotainment system
controls to change audio sources or radio stations.
