Troubleshooting (Q&A)
Q: Can't find the dongle's Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
A: Please make sure the adapter socket is plugged in and turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time.
Q: Keep disconnecting?
A: Make sure the USB is plugged in, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is turned on, and no interference from other wireless devices, so the connection will not be interrupted.
Q: Can the adapter be paired with multiple phones?
A: Yes, but only one device can be connected at a time.
Q: Can't reconnect automatically?
A: 1) Some models need to select "Auto-connect" in CarPlay settings to use automatic connection. 2) Upgrade the firmware.
Q: When the mobile phone plays a video, the audio and video are out of sync?
A: Audio delay is unavoidable because video transcoding takes more time than audio. This is a technical problem with CarPlay and has nothing to do with the adapter.
Q: What is the password to connect to Wi-Fi?
A: No need to enter the Wi-Fi password. After the Bluetooth pairing is successful, just turn on the Wi-Fi and it will automatically connect.
Q: The light on the wireless CarPlay adapter stays on when the car is turned off?
A: The power will not be cut off immediately, although the car is turned off, so the light is still on, just wait for a while, and it will automatically turn off.
Q: Calls rejected or diverted to voicemail?
A: 1) Reopen the Bluetooth, ignore other automatically connected devices, then reconnect the Bluetooth. 2) Clear the background running programs of your phone while connecting.
