Connect by Bluetooth

Check the Bluetooth connection of the car stereo. Check your vehicle’s manual to see if the front end supports Bluetooth connectivity. You can also find the Bluetooth logo (with a vertical bow) on the stereo itself. If you see this icon, it means that the vehicle’s infotainment system supports Bluetooth.

Turn on the Bluetooth pairing mode (Pairing Mode) on the car stereo. Press the menu button on the stereo to find the Bluetooth pairing option. See the manual if you don’t know how to turn on Bluetooth in your car.

Turn on Bluetooth on iPhone. This feature is usually turned off by default to save battery life. There are several ways to enable Bluetooth on iPhone:
- Open the Settings app, select “Bluetooth” and turn on the Bluetooth switch.
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the Bluetooth button to enable the feature.

Select the car stereo in the list of Bluetooth devices that appear on your iPhone. As long as the car stereo is on pairing mode, this option will show up in the list of available Bluetooth devices. Maybe the option will include the soundbar name or something similar to “CAR_MEDIA”.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ e/e2/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Enter the Bluetooth passcode on iPhone if prompted. If the car stereo requires a passcode to connect, this information will be displayed on the device screen during the process, and iPhone will also prompt you to enter the number. Proceed to enter the password to connect.

Play music or make calls. Open your iPhone’s music app and start listening to music with your car’s entertainment system. If you make or receive a call, the speaker in the car will work just like the iPhone speaker and you’ll hear the other end of the line without holding the phone.
Connecting with an audio auxiliary cable
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ac/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ a/ac/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Check if the stereo has an auxiliary port. Observe the surface of the front end and find the 3.5mm audio port (similar to the headphone port on the iPhone). Car stereos are often integrated with auxiliary ports that support MP3 players, smartphones and other music devices.
- Refer to the supplied manual if you cannot find or are unsure about the auxiliary port on the front end.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f1/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ f/f1/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Prepare the audio auxiliary cable. This is a plug-in cord with an audio jack on both ends that allows you to connect all your music devices to any electronic device that has an auxiliary port. You can buy this cable at electronics stores with prices ranging from 50,000 – 150,000 VND.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 2/2d/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Connect the headphone jack on your iPhone and the auxiliary port of your stereo with a cable. Plug one end of the audio aux cable into the headphone port on your iPhone. The other end you plug into the audio auxiliary port of the car entertainment system.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/91/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 9/91/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Set Auxiliary mode on the stereo. Click the menu button on the stereo and set it to AUX mode. Thus, the new car stereo can receive information from the iPhone.
- See your car’s manual if you don’t know how to specifically set up your stereo to auxiliary mode.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/74/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 7/74/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Listen to music or make calls. Open your iPhone’s music app and start listening to music with your car’s entertainment system. If you make or receive a call, the speaker in the car will work just like the iPhone speaker and you’ll hear the other end of the line without holding the phone.
Connect with a Lightning USB cable
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/63/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/ v4-460px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/ 6/63/Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hook-Up-an-iPhone-to-a-Car-Stereo- Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
Check if the car stereo supports iPhone connection. Look at the front of the head unit to find the USB port (similar to that on a computer). Some modern cars have a built-in USB port that allows music to be played from a flash drive.
- Refer to the car stereo’s manual to see if the system supports iPhone connection. This connection allows you to plug your iPhone directly into your car stereo using the lighting/data cable that came with the phone. Not all cars have a USB port that supports connecting to an iPhone, so you’ll need to check your front end unit’s manual first to be sure.
- Newer cars can have an infotainment center that supports CarPlay, which is a more advanced way for you to connect your iPhone to your car with a Lightning USB cable.

Set up your car stereo to iPhone/USB mode. Press the menu button on the stereo and set it to USB or iPhone mode. Thus, the car stereo will be able to receive information from the iPhone. Most car stereos automatically switch to iPhone or USB mode as soon as iPhone is connected.

- See your vehicle’s manual if you don’t know how to set up your specific car stereo to USB or iPhone mode.
