CarPlay

The first pairing: Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth in your iPhone. Then tap Apple CarPlay on the CPS090 main menu to open the CarPlay menu.
Now connect your iPhone to the T86-xxxxxx device via Bluetooth and confirm the CarPlay dialog on the iPhone display. ATTENTION: Your iPhone must not be connected to any other WiFi network for CarPlay!

Full Screen Mode/ Half Screen Mode: Before pairing your iPhone, you can choose whether you want to use CarPlay in full screen or half screen mode. In half screen mode, CarPlay is displayed on the left side of the monitor and a camera image is displayed on the right side of the monitor. This setting cannot be changed during operation. To change, turn off Wi-Fi on your iPhone, go to the CarPlay menu, and select the desired option, Full Screen or Half Screen Mode. Then turn WiFi back on in your iPhone.
Note: In half screen mode, you can switch between the two cameras by tapping on the camera image at the right.

Android Auto

The first pairing: Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth in your smartphone. Then tap Android Auto on the CPS090 main menu to open the Android Auto menu. Now connect your smartphone to the T86-xxxxxx device via Bluetooth. ATTENTION: Your smartphone must not be connected to any other WiFi network for Android Auto!

Full screen mode/ half screen mode: Unlike Apple CarPlay, Android Auto does not have full screen mode for the CPM090 and the display is always in half screen mode. This is due to the fact that Android Auto has a fixed icon structure and mandatory display requirements. Only four icons are displayed next to each other and the user must be able to see at least two lines on the display. This requirement cannot be met in full screen mode, which is why only half-screen mode is available to the CPS090 for Android Auto.

WI Fl-Video

You can also save and view the dash cam recordings locally on your smartphone. From the HOME menu, tap Apple CarPlay or Android Auto depending on the smartphone you are using, then select WIFI Video. Scan the QR code to download the necessary Viidure app.

According to the APP prompt, connect to the monitor’s local WiFi. The WLAN name is T86-xxxxxx, the password is 12345678. Now you have access to all stored videos from your smartphone, which you can play on the smartphone and save locally.

ATTENTION!
The simultaneous use of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is disabled while connected to WIFI video not possible!

Driving Monitoring

The driving monitor is a dual dash cam that films front and rear in AHO and records in HD. At the same time, the cameras can be displayed on the monitor, either in full screen (camera in front or behind) or simultaneously in split screen.

Menu bar
The menu bar will automatically hide after 6 seconds and reappear by tapping the screen.

Tapping the speaker icon opens the volume setting.

FM transmitter
Set a frequency for the CPS090 to transmit on. The FM transmitter only works when using the original power cable.

Aux
The audio output takes place via the AUX output.

Reverse Camera

As soon as reverse gear is engaged, the CPS090 switches to the rear camera with the image section that was previously set in the guide line calibration (see page 25) and shows guide lines as a maneuvering aid. The prerequisite for this is that the red cable “Reversing signal + 12V” (see page 21 “Connection”) has been connected to the 12V cable of the reversing light. When reverse gear is disengaged again, the CPS090 switches back to the previous view with a 3 second delay.

Note: The running front and rear camera recordings will not be interrupted while reversing.
