Not on all DS7 models or systems. If you have the DS IRIS SYSTEM - 12" touch screen Infotainment system, then it should support both wired and wireless connections, but only if you have this specific infotainment option fitted at present.

If you have a brand new DS7 Rivoli, then yes, you should have the DS Iris system and consequently the wireless Apple CarPlay feature as well as wired connection.

You need to read the owners manual - page 200 or thereabouts on the DS Iris system which shows all about connections etc.

Ive found it thanks mate, Now to see if i can get it working! Lots to discover and work out, mainly being the best option to recharge the batteries whilst driving. 24m range isnt great but i only live 11 miles from my workplace so hoping to be able to go home and back to work on a full charge.......

Good luck, it'll probably take you a year to read the manual! Lots of tech, and lots to potentially go wrong - but if you've bought the car, after the 3 years are up and if you decide to keep it, I'd definitely recommend you take out extended warranty on it each year.
