• Remove the release liner at the other side of the jel pad.

Setting up your adapter

• Before setting up your adapter, connect your phone to Android Auto using a wired USB connection.
• 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.
