Greetings, all - new to this group and have a quick question: I have a '14 500L and while there is the icon on the left side of the steering wheel that should work with CarPlay I was wondering how to activate it - I have an iPhone 6...Ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to the forum


The system in the 500L does not work with CarPlay. If your phone is connected via Bluetooth and you press the button on the steering wheel you can use this to make calls. Also you can change radio stations or the source. I would imagine that not many owners actually use this button as I find it can be a nightmare at times to use as it does not understand very well, in my experience anyway lol

CarPlay support is either standard or available as an option on 2016 and later models. Some models may not be available in all areas. CarPlay support is subject to change. See your dealer for details.
