Product Introduction

This product uses a USB cable to easily connect to the USB port of the original car, enabling the original wired CarPlay to be converted to wireless CarPlay/Android Auto function and HDMI input.

It supports the connection of external HDMI devices such as TV sticks, screen mirroring devices, X-boxes, and other HD devices.

Note: When connecting an HDMI device, use the control method provided with that device (e.g., remote control).

Connection Method

The following diagrams illustrate the connection methods:

Method 1: Connect the HDMI device to the adapter's HDMI port and the adapter's USB-A cable to the car's USB port.

Method 2: If your car has a USB-C port, use a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the adapter's USB-A cable to the car's USB-C port. Then connect the HDMI device to the adapter's HDMI port.

Method 3: Connect the HDMI device to the adapter's HDMI port and the adapter's USB-A cable to the car's USB port. A lightning bolt symbol indicates the power source.

Tips: Some cars have two USB ports, but usually only one is for data transmission. Please use the data port.
