Questions & Answers

Q1: Why it doesn't work for Sony XAV-AX5600?

A: I'm so sorry that the current firmware version still doesn't work well with Sony radios, especially for the XAV-AX series. The Android Auto icon may not be activated on some Sony radio screens, preventing the A2A adapter from working. Without the 'smartBox-xxxx' Bluetooth device signal, it's not possible to connect AA wirelessly.

Q2: I always fail to upgrade the firmware, are there any tips?

A: If the upgrade fails multiple times, please ensure that the 'smartBox_xxxx' network device can still be searched and joined in your Android Wi-Fi settings.

• It is necessary to 'Switch P2P' on the IP setting page first, and then rejoin the 'smartBox-xxxx' network in your Android's 'Wi-Fi Direct' settings.
• The upgrade process usually takes 3-4 minutes. The orange/green indicator light will continue flashing until the upgrade is successful.
• The 'smartBox_xxxx' Wi-Fi device should be 'forgotten' (removed from saved networks) after the upgrade is finished.
• To avoid signal interference, please forget or disconnect other Android Bluetooth devices before connecting to the adapter, such as the vehicle's Bluetooth or Bluetooth headphones.
