This user guide provides you with all the information you need to get the most from your wireless car adapter.
Read the instructions carefully, and be informed that this wireless car adapter is only intended to work inside your AndroidTM Auto compatible car together with your smartphone which has the Android Auto app installed.

Getting to know your adapter

1. USB standard Type-A connector to plug into your car's Android Auto-enabled USB port
2. Adapter button for Bluetooth pairing and reset
3. LED
   • White = adapter powering on
   • Blue = Bluetooth pairing mode
   • Green = connecting Android Auto

Attach the adapter (OPTIONAL)

You can find a Jel Pad inside the pack. This can be used to fix the adapter on your car.

• Remove the release liner on any one side of the jel pad.
• Place the jel pad on your car, where it is close to the USB port of your car.
• Remove the release liner at the other side of the jel pad.
• Place your adapter on the jel pad.

Setting up your adapter

Check for any updates available to Android Auto for your mobile device via the Google Play app store.
Check that Wireless Android Auto is enabled in the Android Auto settings on your mobile device.
Before setting up your adapter, connect your phone to Android Auto using a wired USB connection following your vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
While the Android Auto connection is active on your car screen, unplug your phone from the car and immediately plug your adapter into the same USB port.
To use Android Auto wirelessly, your phone should be running version 11 or higher of the Android operating system.

Pair with the wireless car adapter

When the adapter LED flashes blue, pair your phone with it (look for 'AndroidAuto-XXXX' under Settings > Bluetooth on your phone).
Now, wait for your phone to automatically re-establish its Android Auto connection wirelessly through the adapter; this may take a while.
On subsequent drives, Android Auto will start wirelessly after the car connects to your phone for hands-free calling (HFP) from the car's Bluetooth menu.

Factory reset

While powered on, press and hold the adapter button. To pair a new phone, release the button when it begins blinking blue. The adapter is now ready to accept a new Bluetooth pairing request from a nearby phone.
To erase adapter memory, do not release the button when it starts blinking blue; instead, continue holding it down until it blinks yellow, and release only when it turns white; remembered phones are now cleared.
