If you are experiencing issues connecting CarPlay despite Bluetooth being paired, please try the following:

  1. On your iPhone, forget the device's Bluetooth connection.
  2. Reset your Wi-Fi settings on your iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
  3. Attempt to pair and connect again.

Why is the wireless CarPlay not stable?

If your wireless CarPlay connection is unstable, consider these solutions:

  1. Suidheachadh modal: Ensure the CarPlay box is not blocked by metal components in its mounted position, as this can impair Wi-Fi signal transmission.
  2. Sianal Wi-Fi: Switch the Wi-Fi channel. Enter the CarPlay box settings: Factory Mode > Connectivity Settings > Hotspot Band > Select 1, 6, or 11, depending on your current region to find the most stable channel.
