Can I still use my phone after connecting it to the display?

Yes. The phone remains operational after connecting to CarPlay or Android Auto, but some functions may be restricted while driving.
Supported in-car functions
- Compatible navigation, calls, messages, music, podcasts, and other approved apps can be controlled through the display or voice assistant.
Phone operation
- The phone can still be used normally when permitted, but the driver should not hold or operate it while the vehicle is moving. Enter destinations, change detailed settings, and use unsupported apps only when safely parked.
Calls and audio
- Incoming calls can usually be answered through the display, vehicle controls, or voice assistant. Navigation and media audio may pause, lower in volume, or change source during a call.
The exact behavior depends on the phone, operating system, app, vehicle audio system, and selected audio connection.
Always follow local laws regarding mobile-phone and display use while driving.
