UConnect/CarPlay

[38goingon18]

hello! i bought my first 500 a couple of months ago, its a 2016 (facelift) with the touchscreen media system thingy, and one of the buttons on the screen is for uconnect, but i've tried to download that to my phone in the hope of being able to do like a carplay thing, or at least mirror my google maps to the screen when i'm using sat nav, but the uconnect app is saying its not longer a thing and redirects me to a mopar/stellantis page... is there a way that this can be sorted? or does my model not support carplay (or equivalent)? thanks in advance

Sorry i can’t help but was also wondering this?! Looking at possibly having to fit a new system which is a few pennies so it would be nice to avoid. Good luck!

I’m having the same problem. Did you manage to find a way around it. I was hoping to use it in the same way as you for mirroring Google maps to the screen.

Is anyone able to help with this. I have a 2016 Fiat and i've tried to download that to my phone. I thought I could use carplay thing, but the uconnect app is saying its not longer a thing and redirects me to a mopar/stellantis page... is there a way round this? or does my model not support carplay? Thank you

You don't need the uconnect app to use carplay/ android auto. Fiat has stopped with the live service app.

2016 is tricky one for carplay/ android auto activation. Not all uconnects 7 have it

How do I do this?

First make sure you have a Uconnect 7, know the difference between an 7 and 5.

Connect phone with usb cable, if carplay or android auto does not start you need to visit somebody with MultiEcusScan, check the mes register on this site.
