Maintenance and Firmware Updates

To ensure optimal performance and resolve potential connectivity issues, it is recommended to keep your device's firmware updated.

1. Power Source: Connect the product to a stable 5V USB power source. Using a car's cigarette lighter adapter or a standard phone charger is recommended. Avoid using the car's original CarPlay USB port for power during updates.
2. Connect to Wi-Fi: On your mobile phone, connect to the product's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "AIBox-BT-XXXX"). The password is typically "88888888".
3. Access Update System: Open a browser on your phone and enter the address http://192.168.1.101 to access the background system.
4. Check for Updates: In the system, click "Update" or "Online Update" to check for and apply available software version upgrades. If you encounter issues, you can submit a problem description and screenshot to customer support.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Herilary C4 CarPlay AI Box, consider the following:

• Connection Stability: If the connection frequently drops, ensure your iPhone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are stable and not interfered with by other devices. Performing a firmware update (as described in the Maintenance section) has resolved similar issues for other users.
• Initial Setup Issues: Double-check all pairing steps, ensuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone and the correct device is selected for pairing.
• Power Supply: Ensure the device is receiving adequate power from the car's USB port. Try a different USB port if available.
• CarPlay Compatibility: Confirm that your vehicle supports wired Apple CarPlay. This device is designed to convert wired CarPlay to wireless, not to add CarPlay functionality to unsupported vehicles.
• iPhone Battery Drain: Wireless CarPlay can consume more iPhone battery. Consider using a charging cable for your iPhone during long drives if battery drain is a concern.
