Ok what am I doing wrong, cant seam to get my car to do carplay, can play spotify by going on to my phone in my hand and it then plays through the car but cant get spotify up on the big screen.
is it user error or is the car being difficult. letters not necessarily in the right order

Make sure you have Siri activated on your phone. ApplePlay only works if Siri is activated.

Also try connecting the phone with a lead to the USB in the front compartment where the phone charger is located. This shouldn’t be required to active AP but maybe an interim solution. MY23 D350 HSE
