Q: When using CarPlay, I cannot hear sounds, but the original Bluetooth sounds work fine.

A: This usually happens if your phone is still connected to the original car's Bluetooth. Please forget the original Bluetooth connection on your phone and then reconnect to the Android unit's Bluetooth.

Q: Cannot connect with CarPlay.

A: Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the screen is connected to WiFi.
2. Pull down the Status Bar, long-press "Hot spot", go to WiFi Hotspot > Advanced > AP Band, and switch to 2.4Ghz.
3. Turn OFF the car for more than 5 minutes, then restart and try again.

Q: The audio sounds sometimes terrible.

A: Adjust the media volume to 20-25 in Setting > Volume > Media.

Q: Why does the sound in NBT/EVO version automatically switch to the original car system sound when using the Android system?

A: For some NBT/EVO models, you need to long-press the number "8" in AUX mode of the original system to save AUX. This will allow the Android system's sound to work correctly. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Navigate to the original system's multimedia page.
2. For external devices, press and hold the number "8" on the air conditioner panel.
3. After holding "8", numbers will display on top of the screen.
