3.1 Connexió inicial

  1. Ensure your vehicle is equipped with factory OEM wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto. The BINIZE AO-BOX requires one of these existing functionalities to operate.
  2. Locate the USB port in your vehicle typically used for wired CarPlay or Android Auto.
  3. Connect the BINIZE AO-BOX to this USB port using one of the provided USB cables.
  4. Allow the device to boot up. The car's display should switch to the BINIZE Android system interface.

3.2 Wired CarPlay/Android Auto Conversion (If Applicable)

The CarPlay box defaults to supporting the original car with wired CarPlay. If your original car only supports wired Android Auto, or if it supports both wireless CarPlay and wired Android Auto but you need to use the Android Auto port, you will need to convert the device's default setting.

  1. Insert a TF card containing the appropriate reverse file (provided by manufacturer support) into the TF card slot of the AI Box.
  2. Use a SIM card ejector tool or a similar thin object to press the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the AI Box. Hold until the screen changes or the device reboots.
  3. The device will then switch its interface to support the desired wired Android Auto functionality.
