Frequently Asked Wi-Fi Questions:
Q: Why don't my apps work even though I'm connected to Wi-Fi?
A: Check the time settings on your device. Incorrect time settings can prevent Wi-Fi from functioning properly.
Q: Why don't apps function properly even when the time is set correctly?
A: Ensure that the app is updated to the latest version available in the Play Store; otherwise, it may not function correctly.
Q: Why can't the radio detect my iPhone's hotspot?
A: Enable the "Maximize Compatibility" setting in your iPhone's hotspot options.
Q: Why does Wi-Fi disconnect automatically?
A: Automatic Wi-Fi disconnection often happens when your phone's Bluetooth automatically connects to the radio, establishing a wireless link with the Car-Link app. You cannot use Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto through the Car-Link app simultaneously with the radio's Wi-Fi. If CarPlay/Android Auto's auto-connect is on, Bluetooth must be disconnected to use the radio's Wi-Fi without interruption.
Wired CarPlay/Android Auto and the radio's Wi-Fi can operate together.
