I have a 2014 Honda Civic EX, which is listed as one of the carplay enabled vehicles... However I can not figure out how to get the carplay features to show up on my in-dash screen. I installed the apple update and I'm using the HDMI/USB splitter cable made by apple and sold to me directly from Honda for $100.
I also checked my phone settings to make sure carplay wasn't restricted.
Help please! HondaLink blows!
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1
I tried but failed to set up Carplay between the iPhone 5S and 2016 Honda Civic initially. Upon further investigation, I came to realize that one must go to the "Setting" screen, "Enable" Carplay after you plug in the iPhone. You must enable "Siri" to make Carplay to work as well. My issues were "not enabled" and "Siri" was turned off. Once I enabled and turned on Siri, Carplay automatically showed up when my iPhone 5S was connected to the civic via USB connection. Hope this help.

FYI
Proof that Apple will use Lightning cable only:

Settings > General > Restrictions.
Wow! I hadn't noticed it!
This absolutly confirms that 7.1 contains Carplay: I'm glad 😝
Also I'm gonna go and try:
1. Full reboot
2. The other USB connection
Be back soon
No CarPlay for existing Accords. Confirmed.
Sorry.
Thanks KarenRose1985
I was planning on contacting my saleperson this Monday and ask him to be on an email list just for that.
Let's hope for Firmware 1.1 soon 😐

hi Karen,
Since new Civic and accord 2016 are equipped with CarPlay. Can you check it with Honda again to see what's their response. ?
CarPlay on 2014 Honda Civic EX?
