You must use a cable for CarPlay to work

To get Apple CarPlay to work with this unit, you have to connect your phone to the external USB connection via wire that comes with the unit. Bluetooth works wirelessly, but CarPlay needs that USB extension wire that connects to the USB port in the back of this unit.

It’s not made for iPhones you’ll need to buy a plug in adapter. It only works for androids I found out the hard way

You must use cable for Apple play to work. Unit is very specific in manual to use correct cable. Wrong cable could be your problem. Manual says use original manufacter cable. You also have to plug into USB from radio wiring harness..not any USB from car wiring harness. Needs to go directly to radio connection.
