4. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Q: How do I know the adapter is working properly?
- A: Once the adapter is plugged into the USB port, the power will be on. The indicator light of the adapter will turn red. The indicator light will turn blue after the program has finished loading. Your phone can then be paired with the adapter via Bluetooth.
- Q: I'm trying to send voice assistant commands to the wireless adapter, but nothing happens?
- A: Voice input is through your phone's microphone, so please keep your phone nearby. Make sure Voice Assistant is turned on in your phone. Search for Voice Assistant in Settings, turn it on, call your voice assistant to wake it up, and enter your voiceprint.
- Q: When playing video, audio and video are not synchronized?
- A: Video transcoding is more complex and takes longer to process than audio transcoding. Even with wired CarPlay/Android Auto, audio and video may be out of sync. This is usually not adapter related.
- Q: What is the Wi-Fi password for the adapter?
- A: This is not required. Wi-Fi will connect automatically after Bluetooth pairing. Please make sure your Wi-Fi is turned on and not occupied.
- Q: Does it support watching videos?
- A: Video applications are not officially supported due to security concerns.
- Q: Can the adapter be paired with more than one phone?
- A: The adapter can pair with multiple phones, but only one device at a time. If you want to pair with a new phone, disconnect the current connection first.
