Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Smart AI Box, keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Regularly check for software updates to benefit from the latest features and improvements. If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
Compatibility Check
The Smart AI Box is compatible with cars that have OEM wired CarPlay or both wired & wireless CarPlay. It is NOT compatible with vehicles that only have wireless CarPlay (e.g., some BMW models). To check if your car has built-in Apple CarPlay, plug an iPhone (iOS 10+) into the car USB port with a genuine factory lightning cable. If a notification pops up on your iPhone, or if there's a CarPlay icon in the car stereo menu, your car has built-in Apple CarPlay.
Multiple Device Connection
You can pair multiple smartphones with the Smart AI Box. However, only one device will work at a time. To switch between devices, ignore the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connection of the device you do not wish to use.
No Sound After Android Wireless MirrorLink Connection
If you experience no sound after connecting via Android wireless MirrorLink, ensure your phone is connected to the box's Bluetooth named "Smart Ai Box". If you use an Android phone to connect to the box's Bluetooth, it will automatically connect to wireless Android Auto. To prevent this, go to the SeedPlay APP - Settings and turn off the wireless auto-connect option.
