Maintenance

The CB4B receives ongoing firmware updates over-the-air (OTA) to keep its features current and ensure optimal performance. Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi periodically to receive these updates. The smart passive vent design helps keep your CB4B cool and stable during operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection Issues: Ensure your vehicle supports wired CarPlay/Android Auto and that the CB4B is set to the correct mode (CP/AA). Verify Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are active on both the device and your phone.
  • Lagging/Freezing: Ensure the device has proper ventilation and is not in an enclosed space. Check for available firmware updates and install them. Restarting the device or your car's infotainment system may resolve temporary issues.
  • No Touchscreen Control: The device requires a car stereo that supports direct on-screen touch control, a touchpad, or a remote controller for navigation. If your car stereo lacks these, the device may not be fully functional.
