General Compatibility

- For CarPlay, confirm your iPhone is iPhone 6 or above with iOS 10+.
- For Android Auto, confirm your Android phone is Android 11+. Huawei phones with EMUI are not supported.
Android Phone Cannot Connect to CarPlay
- Android phones are designed to use Android Auto, not CarPlay. Only iPhones can use CarPlay.
Slight Audio Delay
A slight audio delay can occur with any Bluetooth-connected product. To minimize this:
- Turn off any redundant Bluetooth devices in your car or nearby, as unnecessary signals can interfere.
- Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the adapter's Bluetooth connection.
Wireless Android Auto Connection Issues
- For Android 9 or 10: If Android Auto is not found in Google services, you may need to download the Android Auto application.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi: Confirm that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on on your phone. Android Auto uses Bluetooth for connection and Wi-Fi for data transfer.
- Ignore Original Car Bluetooth: Ensure your mobile phone has forgotten or ignored the original car's Bluetooth connection to prevent conflicts.
- Adapter Bluetooth Availability: Confirm that the adapter's Bluetooth is not currently occupied by other devices. Disconnect any other devices that might be connected to the adapter's Bluetooth.
