Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the WiFi password for the CarPlay adapter's wireless connection?

   You only need to establish the Bluetooth connection, not the WiFi connection. After the Bluetooth pairing is successful, the WiFi will connect automatically. That's why you don't need a WiFi password. Make sure your WiFi is turned on and free while pairing.

2. Android Auto adapter issues where Android Auto won't start or is incompatible/doesn't recognize USB.
   1. If your car is using the Android Auto function for the first time, connect your phone with the data cable to activate Android Auto via the wired method.
   2. Make sure Android Auto on your Android phone is running the latest version. If not, please update it via your Google Play account.
   3. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and go to the application manager to clear Android Auto's cache. Then restart the adapter and reconnect to Bluetooth.
3. Audio input or output issues: calls are rejected or forwarded to voice mail, no playback sound, microphone not working, music playback is interrupted or paused, voice function is abnormal.

   Check whether the iPhone/Android smartphone is connected to other devices such as earphones or a watch via Bluetooth. Disconnect these devices or turn off Bluetooth directly for CarPlay and connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth for Android Auto.

4. The adapter indicator light remains on after the car is turned off.

   You only need to establish the Bluetooth connection, not the WiFi connection. After successful Bluetooth pairing, WiFi will connect automatically. Make sure your WiFi is turned on and not busy during pairing.

5. When you use the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter, your mobile phone cannot use other Internet WiFi.

   While using the Android Auto wireless adapter, your phone's WiFi may be busy by the adapter. You will then not be able to use any other internet connection via WiFi, only via your phone's SIM card.

6. Cannot reconnect automatically.
   1. Make sure your mobile phone's Bluetooth and WiFi functions are turned on and Bluetooth is not busy when you get into the car.
   2. Clear the pairing record, restart the phone and pair the device with the adapter again.
7. Can the adapter be paired with multiple phones?

   The adapter can pair with up to five phones, but only connect to one device at a time. If you want to pair a new phone, first cancel "the current connection." Please note: the adapter's standard Bluetooth function only automatically connects to the last used phone.

8. Can't find the Bluetooth and WiFi of the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter?

   Make sure the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter is powered and the blue light is on. Also make sure that the adapter is connected to the port intended for wired CarPlay/Android Auto.

   If the problem remains, test with another phone. If a specific phone cannot find the adapter's Bluetooth or WiFi, try resetting that phone's network and Bluetooth settings and restart the phone.

   If the problem persists with other phones, please contact Aerpro Support Australia.
