AI Box Compatibility and Technical Requirement GuideThis AI Box is designed to enhance your driving experience by adding advanced Android features and streaming capabilities to your factory system. To ensure a seamless setup, please review the requirements below before purchase.
Core Requirement: Factory Wired CarPlayThis device is only compatible with vehicles that have factory wired Apple CarPlay.
Confirmed Compatible Brands (2016–2026)American: Chevrolet, Ford, GMC(some), Cadillac, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, Lincoln.Asian: Honda, Toyota, Lexus(some), Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai(some), Kia(Some), Mitsubishi(some), Subaru.European: Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Peugeot, Citroën, Land Rover, Jaguar.
Important Exceptions and High-Risk TrimsBefore ordering, please check if your vehicle falls into these specific categories:
BMW and Mini (2017–2026): Incompatible. These vehicles use a 100% wireless protocol and lack the wired data-link required for AI Boxes.
Hyundai and Kia (8-inch Screens): Often found on lower trims such as SE, SEL, or Blue. These are frequently wireless-only and will not support a wired AI Box.
New GM Models (2025+): Newer Chevrolet and Cadillac models, including the Blazer EV and 2026 Equinox, have removed CarPlay software entirely. These models are incompatible.
Tesla and Rivian: Incompatible. These vehicles do not support Apple CarPlay software.
Subaru (11.6-inch Vertical Screens): These high-resolution screens draw significant power. We strongly recommend using the included Y-Cable (Dual USB) for a stable connection.
2025/2026 Honda and Toyota: Ensure you use the driver-side USB port. In many newer models, the passenger-side port is designed for charging only and will not transmit data.
iOS 26.1 and Software OptimizationIf you are running iOS 26.1 or newer, follow these professional setup tips for maximum stability:Disable VPNs: Active VPNs on your iPhone, such as ExpressVPN, will block the initial device handshake.WiFi Privacy Settings: For the most stable connection, navigate to Settings > WiFi > [AI Box Network] and toggle "Private WiFi Address" to OFF.
Firmware Alerts: 2026 Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra models have a known vehicle firmware bug where audio may drop after 3 minutes. This is a vehicle-side issue; ensure your dealership has installed the latest infotainment patches.
Professional SupportEvery vehicle's software ecosystem is unique. If you experience a connection loop or a "Device Not Recognized" error, please contact our technical team before initiating a return. Most connectivity issues are resolved with a simple setting toggle or a high-data cable swap.
