Now when the main engine factory builds a car, I like to equip a large screen in the central control, but the functions of the central control screen above 10 inches are very limited. In addition to domestic cars, most cars cannot install third-party APP. The car machine comes with less map and entertainment function software, which is difficult to use and cannot meet the needs, and many APPS also have to open exclusive members of the car terminal.
Car companies such a tumultuous operation, many car friends when driving, basically give up the use of large screens, no matter how large the car companies to our users with a large screen, I am still "mobile phone bracket + Bluetooth, walking all over the sky is not afraid".
In this way, the large screen of the central control has become a decoration, so is there a way to use this screen?
There is still a way, and fortunately, some car companies have reserved Apple's Carplay and Baidu Carlife functions on the car machine. It is convenient for users to use mobile phones to connect and improve users' happiness in using cars.
Among them, Apple's Carplay function is the best and most comprehensive, from iPhone 5 to the latest iPhone 14, can support Carplay use. If your car machine also happens to support Carplay, then you can connect your phone with the car machine through wired and wireless methods, and project most of the apps in your mobile phone, such as Amap, NetEase Cloud Music, etc. on your central control screen.
Carplay screen casting effect
Some cars that use LCD dashboards can even project maps, lyrics, weather and other applications to the dashboard through Carplay. The new generation of CarPlay cars can even project content from the phone to all the screens of the car.

The combination of Apple mobile phone and Carplay makes many people envious, so is there a perfect replacement for Android users who do not use Apple?
This has to mention that one of the software with the largest installed capacity and often overlooked------ Baidu Carlife.
In the early years, Baidu cooperated with major OEMs to make Carlife far ahead in terms of installed capacity through free methods. Many domestic cars and joint venture cars are unwilling to pay Apple high licensing fees and develop some car machine data, abandon Carplay, and pre-install Baidu Carlife.
However, because Carlife on the mobile phone can not be pre-installed in the installation system like Apple Carplay, Carlife on the mobile phone side is lagging, and even often fails to connect due to low permissions, often being killed in the background, and unable to operate the screen. Coupled with Baidu's internal reasons, Carlife cannot call Baidu maps, even the most basic navigation functions cannot be done, plus it cannot project other third-party APP, Baidu Carlife on the car machine has basically become a decoration.
The car is connected to Baidu Carlife
Until Baidu wants to open it later, since Carlife can't do it myself, then I might as well hand it over to other manufacturers to do. So vivo's Jovi InCar and OPPO's car+ came into being. Not only solves the problem that Baidu Carlife is not easy to use, but also has more permissions, which can project more third-party APP, such as Amap, NetEase Cloud Music, and even Douyin, Tencent Video, iQiyi, etc.

Although the interface of vivo and OPPO is slightly different, the overall design style refers to Apple Carplay, which is convenient for operation in the car. Both companies also integrate the connected car function in the system, giving the highest permissions, and also giving the enhanced connection mode. In the process of use, Baidu Carlife has been solved such as low permissions, easy disconnection, and stuttering, and the fluency is basically comparable to Carplay. In particular, the data calculation and animation rendering of Jovi InCar and car+ run on mobile phones, and they can also run perfectly on old cars. Because it is only to project the picture, some old car machines use the interconnection function to navigate, which is smoother than the map that comes with the original car.
So what conditions are needed for such a good function?
First of all, your car machine needs to be pre-installed with Baidu Carlife+ car terminal.
The mobile phone is currently only supported by vivo and OPPO, vivo needs the system to upgrade to Originos 2.0 or above, OPPO needs the system to upgrade to ColorOS12 or above, you can click on your mobile phone - settings - about this machine to check whether your mobile phone model supports.
At the same time, vivo and OPPO also support a variety of screen projection protocols, in addition to Baidu Carlife, they also support Yealink, carlink and other protocols. At the same time, your original car machine supports wireless Carlife or wireless Yealink connection, and you can also carry out non-inductive connection.
