To remember: Carplay allows you to connect your iPhone to your Citroën Jumper 2016 to use your favorite apps with optimal safety.

- The Carplay case : Add the functionality to the original car radio, often Plug & Play.

Installation steps with a Carplay case
The Carplay case is the simplest method to set up. Here are the standard steps for a 2016 Citröen Jumper:
- Vehicle preparation: Cut the ignition and check the location of the original media port (usually a USB socket or Fakra socket at the back of the car radio).
- Connection of the case: Connect the Carplay housing with the existing car radio from your jumper via the cables provided.
- Carplay connection: Connect your iPhone via Bluetooth or USB, depending on the housing model.
- Configuration: Follow the on -screen instructions to finalize the configuration.
This type of module keeps the steering wheel control, original sensors (radar, camera if they are already present), and adds carplay and Android Auto compatibility.
To remember: The installation of a case is Plug & Play, quick (10 to 30 minutes), and allows you to keep the original equipment.
➕ Tip: For even more comfort, you can use a wireless carplay adapter If your case is wired.
Install a new carplay compatible car radio
If you want to go even further, you can replace the entire multimedia system with an Android car radio with integrated carplay. This is a more complete solution that includes:
- A large touch screen (from 7 to 10 inches)
- Wireless carplay compatibility + Android Auto
- Integrated GPS navigation, youtube, etc.
- A step for reversing camera (ideal for a Possible addition of camera)
This type of installation often requires a few tools to dismantle the old car radio and reconnect cables with a suitable beam. It is sometimes necessary to have a CAN-Bus adapter to keep the display or the steering wheel control.
🔧 Installation recommended by a professional if you are not comfortable with the electrical connections.
To remember: An Android car radio transforms the dashboard, modernizes the interface and offers many connected functions.
Extend this solution to other vehicles: Carplay for Peugeot, Carplay Renault And more.
What if you go to Carplay wirelessly?
If you have installed a wired carplay case or are already equipped with an original carplay system in USB, it is quite possible to make the connection completely wireless.
To do this, just use a wireless carplay adapter like this: Bluetooth wireless adapter.
✔️ Compatible with the majority of vehicles equipped with wired carplay
✔️ Bluetooth/Wi-Fi automatic connection as soon as you enter the vehicle
✔️ No subscription, no necessary technical change
A real gain in comfort for those who can no longer hang around, especially in a utility vehicle.
To remember: A wireless adapter boosts your existing carplay without having to change additional equipment.
