How do I operate the apps of my connected iPhone with Apple CarPlay?

Depending on the model and equipment of your MINI, the content of your iPhone apps is shown via Apple CarPlay on the central instrument, in the instrument cluster, and in the MINI Head-up display. Operation is by voice using Siri, the touch function of the central instrument, or the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel.
