The Electric Mini Car's infotainment system might have limitations on the number of iOS devices that can be connected at once. It's possible that only one iPhone or iPad can be actively paired for functions like Apple CarPlay. Try the following steps


  1. Forget the Previous Device (iPhone XR) in CarPlay:
    1. Access your car's infotainment system settings. This process will vary depending on your car's make and model. Consult your car's manual for specific instructions.
    2. Look for a section related to Bluetooth or CarPlay settings.
    3. Find a list of previously connected devices and locate your iPhone XR.
    4. Select the iPhone XR and choose the option to "Forget" or "Remove" the device. This will erase the connection information from your car's system.
  2. Restart Your Vehicle:
    1. Completely turn off your car's engine and wait for a few moments.
    2. Restart your car as you normally would.
  3. Connect Your iPhone 15 to CarPlay:
    1. Use a genuine Apple Lightning cable to connect your iPhone 15 to the car's USB port designated for CarPlay (usually labeled with a CarPlay icon).
    2. If your car supports wireless CarPlay, follow the car's specific instructions for initiating the wireless connection. This might involve holding down the voice command button on your steering wheel.
    3. On your iPhone 15, you might see a pop-up asking you to "Trust" this car for CarPlay access. Tap "Trust" to proceed.
