Using CARLUEX Without a Touchscreen: Yes, You Can!

Don't worry if your car doesn't come with a touchscreen. CARLUEX is still accessible and functional in such vehicles. Here's how:

1. Confirm Wired CarPlay Compatibility: Ensure your car is equipped with wired CarPlay functionality.

2. Control through Vehicle's Knob or Controls: In cars without touchscreens, you can conveniently control CARLUEX using your vehicle's rotary knob or similar physical controls.

For an even smoother experience, we recommend considering our CARLUEX REMOTE accessory. This accessory enhances the usability of CARLUEX, providing you with added convenience.

With CARLUEX and the CARLUEX REMOTE, you can enjoy a seamless and user-friendly in-car experience, regardless of whether your vehicle has a touchscreen or not.
