Connecting Your Smartphone (Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto)
To enable wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, follow these steps:
- Ensure your phone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not occupied by other devices.
- Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi first.
- On the car stereo, select either "Apple CarPlay" or "Android Auto" from the main menu.
- Pair your phone to the SmartScreen using Bluetooth (e.g., Bluetooth T86-150EE5).
- When prompted on your iPhone, select "Use CarPlay with SmartScreen". For Android, the system will primarily transmit data via Wi-Fi after successful Bluetooth connection.

Important Setup Tips
- The first connection may take longer.
- For optimal audio, use Bluetooth to connect to your car's audio system. Bluetooth transmission is generally more stable than AUX or FM.
- Do NOT put the car charger close to the car dashboard to avoid interference with the built-in FM transmitter.
- If you need a car charger with a USB interface, please contact the after-sales team.

7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Device not powering on | Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into the cigarette lighter socket and the vehicle's power outlet is active. Check the charger cable for damage. |
