Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter:

1. Ensure Wired CarPlay is Present: This adapter requires your vehicle to have existing wired CarPlay functionality. It converts wired to wireless; it does not add CarPlay technology to your vehicle.
2. Connect the Adapter: Plug the AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter into your vehicle's USB port that supports wired CarPlay. Use the provided USB-A or USB-C cable as needed for your car's port.
3. Pair via Bluetooth: On your iPhone, go to Bluetooth settings and pair with the AutoSky adapter.
4. Enable Wi-Fi: Ensure your iPhone's Wi-Fi settings are turned on. The adapter uses Wi-Fi for the CarPlay connection, but you do not need to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network.
5. Automatic Connection: After initial pairing, the adapter will connect quickly and automatically each time you start your vehicle.

Cut the cords and go wireless with CarPlay, transforming your wired connection for a cleaner setup.

Operating Instructions

Once connected, the AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter allows you to use all standard CarPlay functions wirelessly:

• Navigation: Access your preferred navigation apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.
• Music Playback: Control music from apps like Apple Music, Spotify, or Podcasts.
• Siri Voice Control: Use Siri for hands-free commands, calls, and messages.
• Calls & Messages: Make and receive calls, and send/receive messages directly from your car's display.
• Volume Control: Adjust audio volume using your car's controls.

The adapter automatically reconnects to your iPhone, typically within 3 seconds, for quick access to CarPlay.

Revolutionize your driving experience by seamlessly integrating wireless CarPlay.

Software Update

To ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes, it is recommended to keep your adapter's software updated:

1. Connect your AutoSky Wireless CarPlay adapter to your iPhone.
2. Scan the QR code provided in the physical manual (or visit the support section on the AutoSky website) for instructions on accessing the update portal.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the latest software.
4. Important Note: If updating directly in the car causes issues (e.g., radio restarting), try plugging the adapter into a powered USB port (like on a computer) for the update process.

Compatibility

The AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter is compatible with over 600 vehicle models that feature factory-installed wired CarPlay. Please refer to the compatibility list often found on the product's sales page or contact AutoSky support to verify if your car's model and year are listed.

WARNING: Aftermarket stereos are not always compatible. Sony Stereos are known not to work with this product.

The adapter offers wide compatibility, working with most cars that come with wired CarPlay.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or excessive moisture.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself. This will void the warranty.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Connection Issues: If your phone is not connecting, ensure Bluetooth is enabled and paired, and Wi-Fi is turned on (even if not connected to a network). Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
• CarPlay Not Launching: Verify that your car's infotainment system is set to use CarPlay. Sometimes, restarting the car's infotainment system or the car itself can resolve the issue.
• Audio Delay: A slight audio delay (1-2 seconds) can occur with wireless CarPlay adapters. This is generally normal and not indicative of a defect.
• Software Update Problems: If updates fail in the car, connect the adapter to a powered USB port (e.g., on a computer) and try updating again.
• Error Reports: If the product does not work with your specific head unit, you can submit an error report. Once connected to the device, navigate to 192.168.2.1 in your Safari browser to access the local page and submit working logs for remote troubleshooting.
