To connect the U2W Plus dongle with a vehicle, follow these instructions to establish a successful link:

Activate CarPlay Mode

Ensure that CarPlay mode is enabled on both the vehicle and iPhone. Upon receiving a prompt to connect an Apple device, insert the dongle into the car’s USB port. The car interface will display the dongle’s Bluetooth connection, with the dongle’s light remaining red.

Enable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

After connecting the dongle, activate Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the iPhone. Next, select the iPhone’s Bluetooth signal on the car’s display for pairing. A flashing red light signals that the device is in the process of connecting.

Pairing Confirmation

Once the device is plugged in, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are active on the iPhone, the CarPlay should be accessible as soon as the pairing is confirmed. The red light will flash, indicating ongoing connection.

Maintain CarPlay Activation

Keep the CarPlay feature on the iPhone enabled until the device is fully connected to the vehicle. Both the vehicle’s and iPhone’s CarPlay should remain engaged throughout the connection process. The current status can be verified by navigating to Settings >> General >> CarPlay.

Adjust Region Settings

If the “CarPlay” option does not appear in the iPhone’s General settings, modifying the “Region” setting may be necessary. This can be done via Settings >> General >> Language and Region >> Region to ensure that all features are accessible.
