I took delivery of my brand new EV4 Trophy today and I love it! But the whole computer setup is a bit challenging (my last car was a 2007 Fiesta and had no computer of any kind!).
I gather I can connect my iPhone via a USB cable so I can actually control the phone from the car (CarPlay?). But I can't get it to work. I plugged the phone in to the USB socket and a very brief message appeared on the iPhone then vanished before I could read it. After a few goes, I managed to screenshot it before it disappeared. This is what it looks like. I assume I need to press "allow" but I've tried several times to plug it in then catch the "allow" button before it disappears again. But to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I have solved this now. It was the cable. To save you reading the entire thread, just go to post #70
