5. Wiring Instructions
The details are as follows:
| Port | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Type C interface | When you use Carplay and Android Auto function, you can directly connect the power supply to the type-c port. When you need to use the mirroring function, you need to use the "Power+Wired mirroring 2-in-1 Cable" (included in the package): connect this cable to the type-c port on the car stereo; connect the power supply to one end, connect your phone to the other end. Kindly note your USB cable must have data transfer function; only charging cable cannot work for mirroring function. |
| Cigarette charger | The cigarette lighter takes power directly. Note: The product comes with a cigarette charger as standard. If you do not use our original charger, you need to buy a compliant high-quality cigarette charger, otherwise it is easy to damage the machine or cause other injuries due to insufficient voltage and heat. FM Transmitter function cannot work normally. |
6. Camera Installation
Fix the camera to the rear of the car with screws. The reversing trigger wire (red thin wire) needs to be connected to the positive pole of the reversing light, and finally use the camera extension cable to connect to the monitor.

How to set-up (CarPlay)
- Click the CarPlay icon on the main menu of the car stereo.
- Turn on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of the mobile phone first. Find the Bluetooth name "CarKit-xxxx" in the Bluetooth list, click to pair (If a PIN code is needed, try 0000).
- A pop-up "Use CarPlay with 'IVT'?" will appear on your iPhone. Please click "Use CarPlay", and then the car stereo will automatically enter the CarPlay interface.

ADDITIONAL EXPLANATION
Working Principle:
- Wireless CarPlay uses Bluetooth to set up the connection between the phone and the vehicle, and then it switches to using WiFi for the actual functionality.
- After the Bluetooth pairing is successful, the phone's WiFi will automatically connect to the car player's WiFi, and then disconnect the Bluetooth connection by default.
- When the car stereo is powered on, it will try to automatically connect to the last connected phone.
Based on the working principle of the car player, please pay attention to the following:
- When enjoying the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto function, the phone's WiFi will be occupied by the car player; other WiFi cannot be used during this period. If there is a conflict between other WiFi and the car stereo's WiFi, you may need to manually disconnect the connection of other WiFi to keep the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto use.
- The auto-connection function of the car stereo requires you to keep the WiFi and Bluetooth of the mobile phone available. In addition, please set the WiFi network of the car stereo to "Auto-Join".
- Since the car stereo will disconnect the Bluetooth connection after pairing, your phone's Bluetooth may automatically connect to other devices, which may cause the car stereo mic input or sound playing to be unavailable. You may need to manually disconnect your phone from the other Bluetooth or switch off the Bluetooth directly to fix it. (Bluetooth plays a pairing role in the work of the car player. When the pairing is completed, it only needs WiFi to keep working, so it doesn't matter to turn off Bluetooth. But when you use it next time, you still need to turn on Bluetooth, so that the car stereo can be automatically paired and connected.)
Note: In the drop-down menu of the mobile phone, you need to click to turn off Bluetooth first, and then click the "Turn off WiFi" button to disconnect. Just turning off the WiFi button alone will cause the car to keep trying to reconnect.

B. Android Auto
Screenshot of the Android Auto interface on the car stereo.
How to set-up (Android Auto)
Wireless Android Auto supported phone models which should support 5GHz WIFI and Google service:
- Android 11.0 or above system version.
- Google or Samsung phones with Android 10.0.
- Samsung Galaxy S8; Galaxy S8+; Note 8 with Android 9.0.
Important Note: Open Android Phone Settings - Connection Settings. Check if Android Auto exists, or search for Android Auto on the Settings page. If there is an Android Auto option, it means that the protocol connection is supported. If not, try restarting your phone and logging back into the Google Play store to see if Android Auto can be found. If it still cannot be found or cannot be installed and used properly, it may be due to local policies/laws that do not support the application. Please ensure that your country or region supports Android Auto wireless services.
- Click the Android Auto icon on the main menu of the car stereo.
- Turn on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of the mobile phone first. Pair new device and find the Bluetooth name "CarKit-xxxx" in the Bluetooth list, click to pair (If a PIN code is needed, try 0000). The car player will automatically enter the CarPlay interface. When the car stereo is powered on, it will try to automatically connect to the last connected phone.
(Turn off Wi-Fi button to disconnect)
After replacing the mobile phone, the connection data of the previous mobile phone will be erased.

- Click the "PhoneLink" option in the Menu, and then click the "Mirror" option under Android.

E. FM Transmitter
As shown in the picture, click the [FM Transmit] button to enter the FM Transmitter function. It can transfer the sound of the car stereo to the original car audio system and play it through the original car speakers, enjoying the original car level. When you turn on the FM Transmitter option, the monitor will no longer emit any sound.
At this time, you need to turn off the FM Transmitter or match the sound to the car's built-in stereo to have sound.
(Not using the original power cord will cause the FM Transmitter signal to deteriorate or the function cannot be used.)

- Select the frequency band to be emitted, for example, FM 106.0 MHZ.
- Car radio also adjusts the acceptance band to FM 106.0 MHZ.

After the FM launch connection is successful, all sounds will be sent to the original car speaker for play. On behalf of FM mode, please adjust the volume on the original car.
