Note: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink should not be used for navigation for a truck or bus as both lack the ability to take vehicle-based route restrictions into account.

Apple CarPlay can connect to the system via a USB2 cable or Bluetooth.
Android Auto
Android Auto allows the driver to use an Android phone to make calls, send and receive messages, get information, listen to music, and get directions.
