Apps
The system lets you interact with selected mobile apps without taking your eyes off the road. Voice commands, your steering wheel buttons, or quick touches on the touchscreen give you enhanced control over compatible mobile apps. You can also stream your favorite music or podcasts, share your arrival time with friends, and stay connected safely.
When you first launch an app through the system, you may be asked to grant certain permissions. You can review and change the permissions you have granted at any time when your vehicle is not moving. We recommend you check your data plan before using an app through the system, as using them may result in additional charges. We also recommend you review the app provider's terms and privacy policy before using their app. Make sure you have an active account for the apps you want to use through the system. Some apps will work without setup. Others require some personal settings to be configured before you can use them.
