I'm getting a new car and will finally be able to use CarPlay!

I'm finally going to be able to CarPlay because I'm getting a new car.... specifically, a Subaru Outback. We are picking it up later this afternoon, and if anyone has any tips on how to set it up, etc., I'd love to hear them.

Hi Annie, I don’t know if you’ve seen this website, but there are some useful ‘hints and tips’ and plenty of other information regarding CarPlay. Definitely worth a look....

Thank you!!! It's been such a crazy week... I started back to work... students are returning... and all of our operational procedures have changed thanks to COVID. So, I haven't been eager to try and figure this out. But I will SOON!

I finally got around to pairing it last night and it was so easy that it occurred to me that I really overthink things WAY TOO MUCH!

Yep. Pretty much just plug and play.

So my husband got a new car over the weekend, and is now using CarPlay and seems to be enjoying it. I do have a question, however. On the rare occasion when I'm driving his car, will it create an issue for him if I plug my iPhone in to use CarPlay? I don't want to mess up any of his settings. I'm guessing it would be ok, but I thought I'd as before I try it!

Shouldn’t be an issue.

I’m a Subaru Forester owner myself. 2018 so no Carplay. It’s a great vehicle. Enjoy!

Will not be an issue. The CarPlay settings are saved on the phone not the vehicle. You can set things up how you want them to be in his car when you have your phone connected and that is how it will be when your phone is plugged in only. When he plugs his back in, it will be as if you never connected at all.
