Your drive.

Listen to WRRTRadio with CarPlay. Connect your iPhone by USB, start the music on your phone, and listen through your car’s speakers.

Open WRRTRadio
Set up while parked. You’ll need an iPhone with internet access, a CarPlay-compatible vehicle, and a USB cable that carries data as well as power.

  1. Plug in your iPhone

    Connect your iPhone to your vehicle’s CarPlay-enabled USB port. Use the cable that fits your phone and vehicle.

    Allow CarPlay if your iPhone asks, then select CarPlay on the car’s display. Siri must be enabled for CarPlay setup.

    Some USB ports only charge. Look for a smartphone or CarPlay symbol, or check your vehicle’s manual.

  2. Start WRRTRadio on your phone

    Open Safari on your iPhone and visit wrrtradio.ab5e.com . Tap Play and confirm you hear the music through the car’s speakers.

    Start the website on your iPhone. You do not need to find a WRRTRadio app icon on the CarPlay screen.

  3. Open Now Playing

    On your car’s CarPlay screen, open Now Playing to see the current audio and available playback controls.

    Use the car’s volume control and the play/pause control when available. The controls and song information displayed can vary with your iPhone and vehicle.

  4. Keep connected and enjoy

    Leave the USB cable connected and keep the WRRTRadio page open in Safari. Your iPhone needs internet access throughout the drive.

    Choose your music and check the volume before moving. Pull over safely before making changes on your phone.

If something isn’t working

My phone charges, but CarPlay doesn’t appear.

Confirm the vehicle supports CarPlay and you’re using its CarPlay-enabled USB port. Try a data-capable cable and check your iPhone for a connection prompt. Follow your vehicle’s setup instructions.

CarPlay appears, but I hear no music.

While parked, return to Safari and tap Play on WRRTRadio. Check your internet connection, the car’s volume, and that the car is playing audio from your connected iPhone.

The music stops or buffers.

Streaming needs a steady internet connection. Weak cellular coverage can interrupt playback. When safely parked, check the connection and tap Play again if needed.

I can’t find a WRRTRadio icon.

This method starts WRRTRadio in Safari on your iPhone. Use Now Playing on the CarPlay screen for the available audio controls.

The artwork or song title is missing.

The information shown depends on the current audio session, iOS, and your vehicle. Missing artwork does not necessarily mean playback has failed. While parked, check the current song on the WRRTRadio page.
