7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Herilary C1-AA adapter, consider the following:

  • Connection Issues: Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into the car's wired Android Auto USB port and that its indicator light is on. Verify your phone's Bluetooth is enabled and correctly paired with "CIplay-XXXX".
