I have 2024 Yukon XL SLT with Apple Car Play. Every time I start the vehicle I have to enter my PIN to make the center screen available. Is this normal? Is there any way to make the center screen open automatically?

I have never experienced this in my 2023 Tahoe, and I use CarPlay - although I don't know if there were any changes to the infotainment system from 2023 to 2024.

Can you provide a screen shot?

im going to guess you have some kind of security setting enabled on the phone OR it is not paired correctly
try deleting the car from the phone and phone from the car and restart the sync again.

I found a security setting in Apple Car Play that required a PIN to be entered. I was able to turn it off and that allows anyone to access the center dash screen when the Yukon is running. Thank you both for the helpful suggestions.

Hi. I am having the same problem. Where in Apple car play would I find the setting to turn pin option off? Thanks

Can you say a bit more. Is the Vehicle Infotainment where you need to enter the passcode, or do you need to enter the passcode on your phone to get it to work? If you start your vehicle with the Phone Unlocked, does it still ask for the passcode? Are you using wireless CarPlay or Wired?
