Using onX Hunt with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – onX Hunt

To ensure the best performance, we recommend connecting your mobile device to your in-dash display using a high-quality USB cable.

Connecting onX Hunt with compatible in-dash units allows you to change Basemaps, mark your location, and adjust your map view right from your vehicle screen.

You'll need to use the App on your mobile device for all other actions and tools.

Using onX Hunt with Apple CarPlay

You can adjust your viewing perspective, viewing area, zoom level, Basemap, and mark your location with a Waypoint from your vehicle's screen while the Hunt App is connected to CarPlay.

For everything else, including generating turn-by-turn directions with onX Navigation, you'll need to use the mobile App on your iPhone.

Connecting your iPhone to CarPlay

First, make sure your vehicle supports CarPlay. If you're unsure, contact the vehicle manufacturer.

If your vehicle supports CarPlay with a USB cable:

Start your vehicle and ensure the vehicle display is turned on.
Plug your USB cable into your CarPlay USB port.
Plug the other end into your phone.
Follow the on-screen prompts to pair your iPhone.

If your vehicle only supports wireless CarPlay:

Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel.
Make sure that your stereo is in wireless or Bluetooth mode.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and make sure that Wi-Fi is also turned on.
Tap the CarPlay network, and check that Auto-Join is turned on.
Go to Settings > General > CarPlay, and select your car. Check your car manual for further information.

On some vehicle models, CarPlay Home appears automatically when you connect an iPhone. If CarPlay Home doesn’t appear, select the CarPlay logo on your vehicle’s display.

If you've connected your iPhone correctly, you can select onX Hunt from the list of available CarPlay Apps to view it on your in-dash display.
