This guide explains how to connect a compatible smartphone to a Scania truck using a USB cable or wireless connection, and how to start smartphone projection on the vehicle display. Availability depends on the truck equipment, phone and market.
Before you connect
- Park the truck safely and complete the initial setup before driving. Do not enter information while driving.
- Switch on the infotainment system. Make sure your phone is unlocked and follows the on-screen setup prompts.
- For Android Auto, use a compatible Android phone with an active data plan. Wireless connections also require a compatible phone with Wi-Fi support.
- For Apple CarPlay, use a compatible iPhone and make sure Siri is enabled.
- For wireless connection, enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your phone. For Android Auto, also keep Location Services enabled during setup.
- For a wired connection, use the data-capable USB port present in the truck and a high-quality, compatible USB cable. A charging-only USB socket cannot start projection.
Tip: For current Android Auto phone requirements, visit g.co/androidauto/requirements. The phone software, supported features and service availability may vary by country and vehicle.
1. Connect Android Auto wirelessly
- On your Android phone, switch on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Location Services.
- On the Scania centre display, go to Settings > Connectivity > Devices.
- Select Add device. Make sure your phone is visible to nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Select your phone from the list. Check and confirm any matching pairing code or connection request on the phone and vehicle display.
- If the truck asks you to start Android Auto, select the option to start it. Accept the requested permissions on the phone and vehicle display.
- If Wi-Fi is turned off in the truck, accept the request to enable Wi-Fi. Wait for Android Auto to open on the centre display.
If you choose not to start Android Auto during pairing, the phone may remain connected for Bluetooth functions only. You can start Android Auto later from the available app entry point or the connected device settings.
2. Connect Android Auto with a USB cable
- Park the truck and switch on the infotainment system.
- Connect your Android phone to a compatible, data-capable USB port using a suitable cable.
- Follow the instructions on the phone and centre display. Allow the necessary connection permissions.
- Start Android Auto when prompted. If it does not open, go to Apps and select Android Auto when the entry point becomes available.
Note: The available USB ports and supported connection modes depend on vehicle equipment. Android Auto is integrated into compatible Android phones, a separate download is generally not needed.
3. Connect Apple CarPlay wirelessly
- On your iPhone, enable Siri, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
- On the Scania centre display, go to Settings > Connectivity > Devices > Add device.
- Make the iPhone available for Bluetooth pairing and select it from the vehicle device list.
- Approve pairing and any requests shown on the iPhone and centre display.
- When asked, choose to start Apple CarPlay. If prompted, allow the vehicle to enable Wi-Fi.
- Wait for Apple CarPlay to appear on the centre display.
4. Connect Apple CarPlay with a USB cable
- Make sure Siri is enabled on your iPhone.
- Connect the iPhone to a compatible, data-capable USB port.
- Follow the permission and setup instructions on the iPhone and centre display.
- Start Apple CarPlay when prompted, or open Apple CarPlay from Apps when available.
5. Open, leave or reconnect smartphone projection
- Open projection: When a compatible phone is connected, select the Android Auto or Apple CarPlay entry point from the centre display, or choose the projection option for the connected device.
- Return to Scania: Select the Scania Home/OEM control to return to the native infotainment home screen. This does not necessarily disconnect your phone.
- Reconnect: A previous projection session may start automatically if the same device is reconnected and projection was active when it was last disconnected. Otherwise, start it from the app entry point.
- Disconnect: Open Settings > Connectivity > Devices and select the connected device to disconnect it. For a wired connection, unplugging the USB cable also ends the wired connection.
- Switch devices: If another phone already has an active projection session, follow the on-screen confirmation before changing the active device.
6. If the connection does not work
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
Phone does not appear during pairing | Make sure Bluetooth is on and the phone is discoverable. Select Add device again and refresh the search, if available. |
Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is unavailable | Check that the phone supports the function, is connected, and all permission requests were accepted. A Bluetooth connection alone does not mean projection is active. |
Wireless projection cannot start | Make sure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on the phone and that the truck Wi-Fi function is available. If wireless use is restricted in your region, try a compatible USB connection. |
USB connection does not start projection | Use the data-capable USB port and a suitable USB cable. A charging-only port will not work. |
A different phone is currently projecting | Use the device list or projection entry point, select the intended phone and confirm switching when asked. |
Projection disconnects or stops | Check the phone connection and available wireless service. Reconnect using USB if supported and needed. |
Navigation or other features are unavailable | Availability may vary by region, vehicle and app. Use navigation guidance suitable for your truck and obey traffic rules. |
