Troubleshooting

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

Cannot Find Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

• Ensure the adapter is powered on and its indicator light is illuminated.
• Try testing with another iPhone if available.
• If the issue is specific to one iPhone, reset its network and Bluetooth settings, then restart the device.

Wi-Fi Connection Notes

• Wi-Fi only needs to be turned on; no pairing or password entry is required for the adapter's operation.

Persistent Disconnection

• Disconnections are often caused by Wi-Fi interference. Check for other Wi-Fi devices in your car (e.g., Wi-Fi enabled car cameras). If present, try ignoring other Wi-Fi networks while using the adapter.
• Reset your mobile Wi-Fi network settings.
• Consider updating the adapter's firmware. Contact customer support with your car model for assistance with firmware updates.

Cannot Connect Automatically

• Ensure your phone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on and not occupied by other devices when entering the car.
• Clear existing pairing records, restart your phone, and re-pair the adapter.
• Upgrade the adapter's firmware if available.

Black Screen Issue

• Verify that your iPhone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on and not in use by other devices.
