I am the proud owner of a 2024 Palisade Calligraphy. I have searched the manuals extensively and can't seem to find an answer to my question.

It seems that Apple CarPlay is only available when I plug my iPhone 13 into the data port in the console. My phone is paired to the vehicle. I have enabled CarPlay on my phone using the data port. When I get in the vehicle, is there something I need to do to launch CarPlay? The CarPlay icon only appears on the screen when the phone is plugged in.

Do I need to do something on the vehicle to launch the app? Or perhaps my phone.

Apologies here. I'm an old lady and doing my absolute best. Any input will be appreciated.

Your car only supports wired CarPlay. So if your phone isn’t plugged in, you won’t get the CarPlay interface.

If you want to use CarPlay wirelessly, you’d have to purchase one of the various adapters that are available.

You can use a third-party wireless adapter if you want. It stays plugged into the data port and connects to your phone wirelessly, converting it to the wired connection the vehicle needs to see. I use this one in several vehicles and it works great. it has a switch that converts from Apple to Android if you have multiple users (although you have to unplug and replug to see the changeover). Never an issue and works flawlessly. I plugged mine into the port and stuck it upside down to the space above where the wireless charger is. Phone still charges wirelessly and no cable needed for Carplay:

I have a 2021 limited and have had good luck with the MSXTTLY Wireless CarPlay Adapter for Apple iPhone iOS 12+ Small Car Play Dongle for OEM Wired CarPlay Car Model 2017+ USB C to A, USB A Cable, 90 Degree USB Adapter, 3 Adapters . I have used it for 3 months and except for a couple of locations which I think are related to cell towers, it works well. Not as fast as the built in nav. but much better maps.

Sometimes while I wait for the kids I play YouTube videos and listen through the Pally speakers, does this dongle have a lag? I noticed that using the system’s Bluetooth connection has minimal latency (maybe half a second), so I wouldn’t want to add to that lag as it would become very noticeable and annoying.

We've used these in several cars, including the Palisade. It supports Carplay and Android auto, you just flip the switch on the side. I've had no issues at all using both Android and Apple. I used the included tape to mound it upside down on the top of the charging slot where the phone goes in the center console. You can't even see it, other than the USB cable that plugs in.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. It is my understanding that the issue is that the head unit, at least from MY 2024 and prior, do not have the necessary hardware. So even if they push a software update, it won’t work. Hopefully I’m wrong but from my research I don’t think we’ll ever get wireless CarPlay connectivity natively.

a couple of comments. Phone delay is mainly due to the Bluetooth latency, when is connected via cable, there is no latency and from my experience phone navigation is much smoother and more responsive than any UI from any car manufacturer (with the exception of some manufacturers installing Google maps on newer models)
No, I'm not talking about Bluetooth here, but CarPlay specifically. I've always found the phone to be a little behind real time, and behind the built-in nav. That has gotten better on newer phones, admittedly.
I’m not sure about what you said about the vehicle GPS receiver. I have actually set a destination on my phone and a different destination on the Pali’s native navigation. They both work simultaneously without issues.
CarPlay is designed to use the car's GPS when using the phone to navigate. It does not use the phone's internal GPS. This is by design: it improves the performance of the phone when you're using it to navigate. You can read Apple Developer documents for more details. As a side-note, for older Palisades that have no built-in nav, but do have CarPlay (wireless or otherwise), then it has to rely on the phone, obviously.

Unless Hyundai changed that on newer versions of their software for the infotainment center (I haven't tried this in a long time), you cannot set a destination on the built-in nav and on the phone when using CarPlay to navigate. It's one or the other. Setting on the phone cancels the nav on the built-in nav, and setting one in the built-in systems cancels the nav on the phone. To be clear, you have to set a destination to see this: just having Waze running on the phone with no destination set will not cancel the nav in the built-in system.

Maybe I'll try that again (if I remember), but that was definitely how it worked early on.
I actually like the UI for the Palisade, but the navigation option from CarPlay is so smooth that I always end up using CarPlay.
I like the HUD and cluster integration of the built-in nav. And with Blue Link, it's been as good with rerouting because of traffic as Waze or Google Maps. I ignored it at my expense a couple times, and I should have trusted it.

To be fair, I think it's technically possible for Hyundai to do the same with CarPlay and have it show in the HUD/cluster. I wish they would implement that as well.

I don't have anything against nav using CarPlay. It definitely works well and smoothly as well.
oh and if you value your mobile phone’s battery, do not use the wireless charger, it does not dissipate heat and only after a few minutes the phone will get very hot, damaging its battery. I think newer models have a fan or something under the wireless charger but not on my 2024 SEL Premium. I turned off the wireless charging capabilities the moment I realized this was happening.
Are you sure there's no fan under your 2024? I think there is, but that it's inadequate.

Either way, newer phones will stop charging wirelessly if they get too hot. That wasn't always the case: I had an iPhone X, which was the first time Apple introduced wireless charging and the phone would die from overheating on a wireless charger. Thankfully, they addressed that on newer models...
