Instrucțiuni de operare

The CarPlay Ai Box HE provides a comprehensive in-car multimedia experience:

• CarPlay wireless și Android Auto: After initial setup, your phone will automatically connect wirelessly, providing access to navigation, music, calls, and messages through your car's display.
• Streaming Video Applications: The device comes with pre-installed video apps such as YouTube and Netflix. You can also install other applications from the built-in Google Play Store and APK Pure.
• Ieșire HDMI: Utilize the HDMI functionality to output videos to an additional screen, such as rear-seat entertainment systems.
• Conectivitate la internet: The device supports dual-channel wireless networks (2.4G and 5G). To access internet-dependent apps (e.g., streaming video), connect the Ai Box HE to a mobile hotspot.
• Simultaneous Functionality Note: The internet function of the box (e.g., connecting to a phone's hotspot for streaming) cannot be used simultaneously with wireless CarPlay or wireless Android Auto if using the same phone. This is because both functions require the box's Wi-Fi channel. To use both, you will need two separate devices: one to provide the hotspot connection to the box, and another phone for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.
