Confirm both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Ensure the "MyCar Link" app is open on your phone and the "Phone Link" app is open on the monitor. Double-check that you have selected the correct device name for mirroring. For Android, ensure Miracast/Smart View is enabled. For iPhone, ensure Screen Mirroring is selected from the Control Center.
