Q. When the mobile phone plays video, the audio and video are not synchronized?

Q. When pairing, CarPlay does not start, or the car prompt device is incompatible/cannot recognize USB
Modify the “delayed start” mode: Enter the dongle setting interface; Find “Delay Start” – and change the mode from “Default” to “Mode 1” If this method does not work, please restore the “delayed start” mode to “default”.
Q. Can’t find Bluetooth or WiFi for dongle?
Please make sure the dongle is powered on, and the blue light is on. If only a specific iPhone can’t find Bluetooth or WiFi for the dongle, try resetting the network and Bluetooth settings of this iPhone and then restart the phone.
Q. Audio input or output problem: call rejected or transferred to voicemail/no sound played/microphone inoperative
Please check your phone’s Bluetooth to see if it is connected to another device. If so, please ignore other automatically connected Bluetooth devices or turn off Bluetooth directly.
