One activity promoted last Monday was to name your device. Do you remember the steps? Can you find the instructions in the User Guide? Can you practice a Google Search for the answer? There is a shorthand for writing step-by-step instructions for iOS. In reading the Google search results I found this quick reference to where you change the name of your device: Settings > General > About > Name
Another question from Monday’s get together, “If I change the name of my iPhone do I need to reconnect to my car radio? “ How might you write a Google search question for that answer? Sometimes you just dive in and try something new to see what happens. So I changed the name of my iPhone, went out to my car and turned on the radio and as usual it played the radio and then it said "Connected to the phone." Success! I did notice that the navigation/radio screen reported that my iPhone name did not change. To me this indicates that the Bluetooth antenna ID is really what connected to the radio, not by the name. My car is a 2013 Honda and it does not have Apple CarPlay but I suspect you would get the same results. Report back if if take the leap to change the name of your phone and if the radio stays connected.
Why change the name of your iOS device? Because of AirDrop! A great way to share via Bluetooth. Read about AirDrop in the User Guide.
