Operating Instructions
Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto
Once connected, the W522 provides seamless access to navigation, calls, messages, and music directly on its 5-inch HD touchscreen. This allows you to keep your phone stored safely while riding.
Dual Bluetooth Modes
The W522 supports two distinct Bluetooth modes for flexible audio management:
- BT Audio (Iplay/Auto): Your phone connects to the W522 for CarPlay/Android Auto, and audio is routed from your phone directly to your Bluetooth headset or helmet. This mode is suitable if you use other Bluetooth functions on your phone simultaneously.
- BT Trans: The W522 pairs directly with your Bluetooth headset or helmet for stable, low-latency audio. This avoids duplicate pairing interruptions and is ideal for dedicated audio transmission from the display.

- On the W522 screen, tap "Audio Output" and select "Iplay/Auto" mode.
- Connect your Bluetooth headset to your phone to play audio through the headset.
- If this headset was previously used in "BT Trans" mode, delete it from the W522 Bluetooth list first.
