Wireless Connection

HiCar supports wireless connection and strongly recommends that all devices accessing HiCar support wireless connection. However, due to hardware limitations, some phones and car models may not be able to connect to HiCar wirelessly.

Prerequisites​

  1. Your phone supports HiCar and supports wireless connection. Only a few phones do not support HiCar wireless connection and only support wired connection. You can check phone support here: HiCar Supported Phones.

  2. Your car model supports HiCar and supports wireless connection. The vast majority of HiCar-supported devices support wireless connection, with only a few original equipment and after-market head units supporting only wired connection.

    • For original equipment and after-market head unit support, you can check here: HiCar Supported Models.
    • For adapter box support, you can check the product sales detail page. Currently, almost all adapter box solutions support wireless connection, and most support wireless connection via QR code scanning.
