HDMI Streaming & Mirroring

To switch to HDMI input mode, navigate the adapter's interface on your car screen. Typically, there will be an option to select the HDMI input. This allows you to stream content from connected HDMI devices or mirror your smartphone's screen (with a compatible USB-C to HDMI cable, not included).

Important Note: For online streaming services like Netflix or YouTube via an HDMI device (e.g., a Fire TV Stick), the HDMI device must be connected to the internet via a personal hotspot from your smartphone or another Wi-Fi source.

Troubleshooting

• No Connection / Adapter Not Detected: Ensure your vehicle has a factory-installed wired CarPlay system. The adapter requires this to function. Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the car's USB port. Try a different USB port if available.
• Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Not Working: Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled. For the initial setup, ensure your phone is paired via Bluetooth. If issues persist, try forgetting the device on your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
• HDMI Streaming Issues (No Picture/Sound): Verify that the HDMI device (e.g., TV stick, console) is properly connected to the adapter's HDMI port and is powered on. Ensure you have selected the HDMI input on your car's infotainment screen. For online streaming, confirm that your HDMI device has an active internet connection via a personal hotspot.
• Lag or Choppy Playback: Ensure a strong Wi-Fi signal for streaming devices. For wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, ensure your phone is close to the adapter and there are no significant interferences.
