AutoABC wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter - settings???

[webman3802]

I got this wired-to-wireless adapter so I don't have to plug in my phone to use Android Auto, and plan to add a wireless charging mat as well soon. I like it because of the low profile and the fact that it rotates so it's very out of the way. So far, the adapter connects fine and seems to work, but I haven't had a chance to really test it for extended periods. Here's the link, but I managed to get it (new) from the company for about $22 on eBay.

My question for any others who use this one, have you had any luck getting into the adapter settings? The instruction manual says to connect to the wifi network created by the adapter (my phone shows already connected via Android Auto) and to go 192.168.1.101, but it never seems to connect to that IP address. It's a very minor thing, but supposedly this is how you set the LED color of the adapter.

Enter that IP address into a web browser

Enter that IP address into a web browser. In addition, you may need to set your network adapter to a similar IP, or you may have to have DHCP turned on.

I have this and use it for Apple Carplay on my 2023 XLT.

Every now and then I must disconnect and reconnect it, also every now and then it will fail to boot up.

Irs buggy but it works most of the time. I paid $38 at one point they were go going for $70, so $22 is a great deal. Maybe coming out with a new version and clearing out the old.

I couldn't take the LED lights around it so I applied heat shrink and black electrical tape to make it dark.

I was able to get into the settings and turn the LED off. Just type that IP into your address bar for whatever platform you're using.

Had no idea, thank you!
