2018 + Alfa Romeo Apple CarPlay Tutorial!! (Giulia & Stelvio) 

Back in may I brought a 2018 stevlio and my wife brought a cla 2018 which hers have apple play and if mines do have it I’m doing something wrong or it can be the wire

I have not experienced that with this carplay system but I only had seat time for about a day so I can't say for certain!

You can fix the brightness on the left hand side of the wheel, it’s a scroll wheel that dosent click fully in, so scroll up hold and brightness will go up same holding it down

Lol nvm

John Pirritano its not a touch pad its a dial

Although originally intended to be a touch pad the function was never activated in any year.

Touchpad is a available on 2020+ cars.

While I think Giulia is a car any driving enthusiast can end up loving, most people out there are daily commuters and thus far from "occasional" drivers. For those people the infotainment can be high on the priority list. Heck, for me, an Alfa lover, I wouldn't buy a Giulia before 2018 because it lacks Android Auto. Is it the most important feature? Nope, but price differences between 2017 and 2018 models are so small that I can afford to factor it into my decision making.

Calm down. Unless the Guilia pushing over 400 HP, you are the occasional driver.

No power? Is it off? It’s broken? The darkness turned up? Wires unplugged? I guess could be many reasons.

I agree I had my stelvio 2018 since last may and apple CarPlay never displayed on my screen

Same here. No car play.

@@robynlynnedwards13 if your car was made in 2017 it won’t have it u have to go to the dealer for them to update ur systems mines is a 2018 but was made 11/17 u can check it on the side of the driver door

Wait the car sucks because YOU broke it? lmao what?

@@alexc9434 yea spent over 50k in repairs on the car

Should have done your research on the car in the first place I own a 2018 bought in 2018 and I've had no problems​you just don't know how to take care of your stuff@@Fontae2hunnid

Maps and music makes this feature important. However, Guilia carplay does look a little laggy. Other car manufacturers have better quality carplay.

Thank you for watching! The focus of this tutorial style is going over the actual connection procedure and unique aspects of the Alfa Romeo Carplay system (usb locations, screen size, resolution and frame rate, user interface (touch screen or physical buttons), and detected hard buttons) . Listening to music, send/receive text and navigation setup will all be the same between all makes and models and can be found with a generic CarPlay video. 👍👍

Car Tech Connect then I suggest you retitle your video to something else other than “CarPlay tutorial” because I have no idea how to use CarPlay after watching your video. I did look up a few CarPlay videos like you suggested and they all used a touchscreen interface. Since the Giulia doesn’t have a touchscreen I don’t see how your suggestion helps. It’s quite simple - you can’t claim to show how CarPlay works on the giulia without actually using it.

Joe Lee Thank you for the response. The video is clearly labeled “Alfa Romeo Apple Carplay Tutorial” and not “CarPlay Tutorial” If you actually watched the video you would of learned how to clearly use and implement the physical knob controls on the Alfa Romeo’s version of carplay. If you have any future questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I will gladly help you out. Thanks again for the watch 🙌🙏

Car Tech Connect here are my questions. How do I use Maps? How do I enter an address? How do I use Message? How do I enter and listen to messages?

Joe Lee the easiest way to do all of those things is with Siri which is built into the steering wheel Voice command button (explained in the video). Once you click that button and get the confirmation tone you can say “enter address” “take me too (address) “read my messages” “send message too (name)” etc.. and Siri will walk you through the rest. If you rather use the physical buttons you must use the control knob while on the home screen to select the desired app (Apple maps, google maps, Waze, messages, etc) and then once you click on said app you will see the sub task you are requested and just move the knob around to highlight and click to confirm (navigation entry, new message, read messages etc)

if it doesn't have it . there are kits you can buy that will add apple car play and android auto

all alfa romeo's have carplay

Witch kitts?
