Bluetooth Pairing

Notes for both CarPlay and Android Auto:

  1. F7 regards the audio of CarPlay & Android Auto (CPAA) and local media apps (BT Music / Radio / Music / AUX) as mutually inclusive. In other words, they can output sound at the same time.
    You can use maps in CPAA while listening to the radio or playing music from a USB flash drive. To set navigation and media mix volume, please refer to chapter 8.3.4. Dual Audio Control.
    In general, the navigation app and media app in CP and AA can run simultaneously.

  2. F7 may achieve regular audio mixing when CarPlay/Android Auto (CPAA) is providing background navigation, while local music (USB/ SD card music), AUX audio, or the radio interface is active in the foreground. But, when CPAA is active in the foreground and local music is playing in the background, audio mixing cannot be performed.

  3. You can disconnect wireless CarPlay/Android Auto from the phone, but you cannot disconnect it from the head unit.

  4. It’s crucial to maintain an adequate battery level on your mobile device. If the device is overheating, disconnect it from CarPlay to allow it to cool down. Because a low phone battery may prevent a successful CarPlay connection and an overheating phone can potentially lead to glitches in the navigation display.

  5. The F7 features various audio sources. Upon restarting the system, F7 will display the audio sources that was in use last time before shutdown.

  6. During a wireless Android Auto connection, if Wi-Fi is disabled, the connection may be interrupted. To re-establish wireless Android Auto, you’ll need to reactivate Wi-Fi, reconnect to Bluetooth, or tap on the Android Auto app once more.
