If you wanted to use both the steering wheel controls and carplay, you'd have to BT your phone for audio calling and USB plug your phone for carplay.
I highly recommend just using Carplay as the call audio quality is FAR better than the car's bluetooth microphone.

I'm really confused with this - I just got carplay working - Without using the steering wheel button, how do you make phone calls, read messages etc - How do you activate Siri? sorry.. Thanks for your help
