How to Check If Your Car Is Compatible with Linkifun Devices

Before purchasing a Linkifun wireless adapter or AI box, it’s important to confirm what type of factory system your car supports. This quick test will help you choose the correct product and avoid compatibility issues.

Step 1: Check for Factory Wired CarPlay or Android Auto

  1. Use an original or certified iPhone USB data cable (or Android USB cable).
  2. Plug your phone into your car’s USB or Type-C data port.
  3. Unlock your phone and wait a few seconds.
  4. Watch your car’s screen:
  • If CarPlay (for iPhone) or Android Auto (for Android) appears on the screen, your car supports factory-wired CarPlay or Android Auto.
  • If nothing appears, your car does not support wired CarPlay or Android Auto.

Step 2: Choose the Right Linkifun Product

1. Mini 2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter

  • Your car must support factory wired CarPlay or factory wired Android Auto.
  • If either one works when connected by cable, the Mini 2-in-1 adapter will be compatible.
  • This adapter converts your existing wired CarPlay or Android Auto into wireless.

2. AI Box Series (GT8D / GT7H / GT7H3)

  • These models can work with cars that support:

    Factory wired CarPlay
    or
    Factory wired Android Auto only
  • If your car only has wired Android Auto, you can still use these AI boxes.

    By switching the physical button mode on the device, the Android system can enter through the Android Auto channel instead of the CarPlay channel.

3. GT6 Pro AI Box

  • Your car must support factory wired CarPlay.
  • GT6 Pro cannot operate through the Android Auto channel.
  • If your car only supports wired Android Auto, GT6 Pro will not be compatible.

Important Notes

  • Make sure CarPlay or Android Auto is enabled in your car’s system settings.
  • Try a different USB port if your car has more than one.
  • Use a data cable, not a charge-only cable.

    Some vehicles support wired Android Auto but not wired CarPlay — compatibility depends on which Linkifun product you choose.
