Hi all,

Just picked up a 300 mile 2017 AM V12 Vantage S dogleg manual 7 speed!
Epic car...sound, engine, craftsmanship, looks, etc..

I cannot for the life of me get the Apple CarPlay working???

It definitely has it, the USB port has the CarPlay symbol, tried 5 different cables including apple OEM cable)
all boxes on the iPhone X checked and this phone works flawlessly in 3 other cars with CarPlay.

rebooted phone/restarted car..all the recommendations on apple website

Very frustrating

please help!

yes, i know, I do listen to the V12 symphony, but I really want CarPlay for WAZE ( a GPS apps that Iran of coppers, accidents, roadkill, construction etc, right on the Nav screen instead of the phone) and talk-text, and Sirius Xm streaming.

Should work ok . The first time I connected mine it asked me on the phone if it could connect with phone locked . Does the car show on your phone as connected - look at Settings General and CarPlay and should be there .

No it does not show V12 Vantage under “other vehicles”
Was so easy on my other 4 cars
Makes me think maybe a firmware update is needed?

Update the iPhone's iOS if needed and try again.

Epic looking car my friend, well done.

You get this cracker and Al gets the Elwood at the same time......it's fantastic to start seeing more and more interesting colours.

Mine is a 2017 and it connected the first time I plugged the phone in.....and then I swiftly turned it off as it confused me rofl

Do other functions work via the cable being connected, like standard music streaming ?

Little things first: do you have one or two usb sockets? If 2 CarPlay only works on the “main” socket (identify by trial and error).

Second: I found the only cable that would work was a genuine Apple cable. Are you sure you have one of those?

You should get the CarPlay symbol on the main AMI screen, then in you go. As others have said there is some messing around on the first connection - I remember this but don’t now remember what it was or how I got past it.

yes, it has 2 USB ports
the one on the left has the Apple CarPlay symbol, so that is the one you are supposed to use, but no luck...I even switched to the other one to see if the circuits were crossed at the factory...no deals

No CarPlay symbol on the main screen

I have set this up in seconds on my GT3RS, Stelvio Quadrofoglio, wife's Volvo XC 60 and son'd VW Golf GTI...so I recognize what to do..

actually, when i hook up either USB port, I do not see any USB connection icon on the sat-nav screen....should I be seeing it?

I don’t think so. I think should should have a CarPlay icon on the main AMI screen but it is greyed out until you hardwire connect the phone.

I’d check but mine is in storage ATM.

There should be a CarPlay greyed our symbol on the home screen that turns black when connected to I phone . If it’s not there assume CarPlay not installed ?

I've always loved the way some states don't require front number plates. Looks so much more handsome without!

I found this thread regarding firmware / software

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=16...

that says :

App 2.3.1
Base 1.053

my car is outdated :
App 2.2.7
Base 1.046


Is there any way other than going to the dealership (300 miles away) to do a firmware update? like via USB stick?
