Hi Chuckiekem,


It appears that you're using iPad, correct? If so, please note that iPad doesn't support CarPlay.


You can find more information about that, and the requirements and options to connect your iPad to your car here, which may be helpful: How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car


Connect using CarPlay

Available on select cars, CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your car’s built-in display. 

First, make sure that your country or region supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay.

If your car supports CarPlay using the USB port, plug your iPhone into the USB port of your car or stereo. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon.

If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel to set up CarPlay. Or make sure that your car is in wireless or Bluetooth pairing mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay > Available Cars and choose your car. Check the manual that came with your car for more information.

Learn more about CarPlay or how to set up and use CarPlay.

iPad and iPod touch don't support CarPlay.


Thanks!
