2.2 Common functions in CarPlay
1.Siri® voice commands
To activate Siri, press and hold the “NEXT TRACK” button on the steering
wheel or car stereo. In addition, you can “press and hold” the button on the
lower left corner of the CarPlay screen to activate Siri if the factory screen
supports it. Ensure you install the microphone supplied with the VLite VT2
kit, unless the system uses a factory microphone, and that the Siri function
is enabled on your iPhone.
2. Phone Calls
You can make phone calls using CarPlay. You can start the phone call via the
CarPlay menu or Siri voice command. Make sure you connect your iPhone
to the VLite VT2 for phone calls. Check your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings if
you experience any difficulties. Unpair the iPhone from the factory
Bluetooth, as the calls will route to the CarPlay.
Ensure that you install the microphone that comes with the VLite VT2 unless
your VLite VT2 allows using a factory microphone. Refer to the Install Guide
for the microphone’s installation guidelines.
Tip: You can adjust microphone gain in VLite VT2 settings. The best perform-
ing position is usually around 45 for non-amplified / VLite VT2 microphones
and 30 for amplified / factory microphones.

2.3 Using CarPlay® wired - via USB
Plug the USB cable into the USB1 port of the VLite. Use genuine Apple®
USB to Lighting cables for the best connectivity. Any cable over 6FT long
can cause issues.
2.4Troubleshooting
If the CarPlay® does not connect, the below remedies are available:
1. Restart the iPhone®.
2. Make sure Siri is enabled:
Siri needs to be enabled for CarPlay to work. If it’s not allowed, go to
[Settings > Siri & Search] and activate the following options:
A. Listen for “Hey Siri”
B. Press Side Button for Siri
C. Allow Siri When Locked
3. Ensure the CarPlay® is enabled when locked. If the CarPlay® isn’t en-
abled when locked, it can’t activate if your phone screen is off. To rectify
this, go to [Settings > General > CarPlay] and tap your car from the list of
available connections. Then toggle on “Allow CarPlay While Locked.”
3. If your iPhone® isn’t detected by CarPlay®, make sure that CarPlay isn’t
restricted. Go to [Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions],
tap Allowed Apps, and make sure that CarPlay is enabled.
4. Make sure to turn ON the Bluetooth on your iPhone® and VLite VT2.
Make sure the iPhone® is also not in Airplane mode.

cable. If using the USB extension cable, try to connect without it. Try to
change the cable or use a shorter cable.
6. For a wireless connection, you can try to completely “forget” the VLite
VT2 and pair and connect again.
On the iPhone®:
a) Go to [Settings -> General -> CarPlay -> VLine2 -> Forget this Car]
b) Restart the iPhone®
On the VLite VT2:
a) Go to [Settings -> Network & Internet -> 3 Dots in the Upper Right ->

mission for Contacts and for Wireless CarPlay to work. It should be the first
two pop-ups you get after pairing the iPhone® to the VLite.
7. For USB connection, if the VLite VT2 stopped “seeing” CarPlay connected,
reboot the VLite VT2 [Settings -> System -> VLite System Updates -> Reboot
VLite VT2]
8. If you experience CarPlay pairing or audio issues, ensure the iPhone is
disconnected fully from the vehicle’s Bluetooth / Hands Free connection.

cables for the best connectivity. The maximum recommended length of
the USB cable is 3FT.
3.3Common functions in Android Auto®
1.OK Google® voice assistant commands
To activate the Google voice assistant, press and hold the “NEXT TRACK”
button on the steering wheel or car stereo. You can also use the button on
the lower right corner of the Android Auto screen to activate voice
assistant. Make sure you installed the microphone that comes with the
VLite VT2 kit, unless your VLite VT2 system allows using a factory micro-
phone, and make sure to enable the Google® voice assistant function on
your smartphone.
Tip: You can adjust microphone gain in VLite VT2 settings. The best
performing position is usually around 45 for non-amplified / VLite VT2
microphones and 30 for amplified / factory microphones.
2. Phone Calls
VLite VT2 does not support phone calls via Android Auto®. Instead, you
will need to use factory Bluetooth to make or receive phone calls.
You can start the phone call using the Android Auto® phone call menu.
To make or receive phone calls via the factory Bluetooth system, open
your phone’s Bluetooth settings and pair and connect your Bluetooth to
the factory car stereo. See the vehicle’s owner manual if you experience
any difficulties.
Once you pair your phone to the factory car stereo, tap on that connection
in your Bluetooth settings, and remove check marks from everything
except “Phone calls.”

3. Other apps in Android Auto®
You can use any other apps supported by Android Auto® while using VLite
VT2. Note that you must install apps to your smartphone so they will
display on the VLite VT2 Android Auto® screen. Check the Android Auto®
support page to see what apps are compatible with Android Auto®.
3.4 Troubleshooting
If the Android Auto® does not connect, the below remedies are available:
1. Restart the smartphone.
2. Make sure your smartphone supports wireless Android Auto®.
Check the phone’s Settings and search for Android Auto®. If it does not
support wireless Android Auto, you will need to connect via USB instead.
3. Make sure you turn ON the Bluetooth on your smartphone and the
VLine VL2.
4. Go to Android Auto® Settings --> Connected cars and make sure the
option “Add new cars to Android Auto” is enabled on your phone.
5. If using a USB connection, try using a different USB cable. Make sure to
use high-quality USB Android® cables. If using a USB extension, try to
remove the USB extension cable and plug the “USB to Android” cable
directly into the VLite VT2.
6. If using a USB connection, try to unlock your smartphone before con-
necting it via USB to VLite VT2.

Phone’s Bluetooth connections Phone’s Bluetooth connec-
tion to car - only calls are on
7. If you are using a Samsung smartphone, you might need to set up the “routines”
for the wireless Android Auto to connect automatically. Check the article at https://
bit.ly/ samsung_routines to learn how to set up the routines for your Samsung
smartphone.
8. For wireless Android Auto® connectivity issues, reset the connection:
A. On your Android® phone:
1. Forget VLite2 from Bluetooth Settings
2. Reboot/Restart Android® Phone
B. On your VLite VT2:
1. Forget Android phone from Bluetooth Settings
2. Reboot/Restart VLite VT2 (Support -> All Settings -> About -> VLite System Updates
-> Reboot VLite)
9. If none of the above helps, clear the Android Auto® cache and storage.
To clear the data for Android Auto®, head to (Settings > Apps & notifications > See all
X apps > Android Auto > Storage & cache). Select “Clear Cache” first.
Clearing the cache only removes temporary files, so deleting the cache will not erase
any of your Android Auto preferences. If that did not help, clear the storage next.
Clearing the storage deletes all the data for the app, so you will likely need to config-
ure settings for Android Auto® again.
10. For USB connection issues, if your VLite VT2 stopped “seeing” Android Auto
connected, try to reboot/restart VLite VT2 (Support -> All Settings -> About -> VLite
System Updates -> Reboot VLite).
3.4.2 Android Auto® does not connect automatically every time.
Under Android Auto® settings, locate the option “Activate Android UI.” Select the
option to activate Automatically (on connect). Tap to switch between Automatic and
Manual activation.
AA Settings: Activate AAuto UI automatically
