fixed : make screenshot of car’s Apple CarPlay screen

Question :
I want to share a picture of the screen on my car’s display to explain something over Whatsapp. I know I could just take a photo, but is it possible to make a screenshot like on a Mac or iPhone ?

Answer :
Yes, it is possible to make a screenshot of your car’s CarPlay screen. In fact, it’s as simple as making a screenshot of your iPhone screen :
– first, connect your iPhone to your car’s navigation display (usually by connecting a USB-cable)
– then, wait for the CarPlay screen to appear on your car’s navigation display
– then use the CarPlay to get to the screen you would like a screenshot of
– then, take your iPhone, and make sure it’s unlocked
– now make a screenshot of your iPhone screen by pressing the ON/OFF and Volume UP buttons at the same time
– then save the screenshot by either doing nothing (or by clicking on the small preview to enlarge it and clicking “Done” and “Save to Photos”)
– then, open the Photos.app on your iPhone and there you’ll find not only the screenshot of your iPhone screen but also a screenshot of your car’s CarPlay screen saved as a photo that you can share (or edit) just like any regular photo

That’s it !

enjoy 😉
