Does anybody have any tips / steps for connecting this APP / Adapter? I, of course, want to get it up & running.
I think I got a dud adapter  |
It could be the adapter. I purchased the same adapter from Amazon and I was able to connect the software with the car in minutes. Did tons of changes and updates and not even once I had a failure.
I would go into SETTINGS--->WIFI and click on the "Carly adapter" and then "forget the network". Turn your wifi OFF and then ON again. Now try to log into "Carly adapter" network.
The only thing I can't set up is the welcome lights. For some reason I can't activate them. It must be a combination of settings that won't allow the welcome lights to work. At one point, by mistake, I changed some settings and briefly had the welcome light work. Changed a few more settings and for the life of me I can't find the exact combination to make them work.
It took me a while, for example, to figure out that DRL angel eyes don't work if I choose the fog light to turn ON too.
On the other hand, there is no option to close the back lid from the remote or to bypass the ACCEPT screen.
Cool is the fact that I can close the windows and fold the mirrors using the remote.
Maybe someone could tell me what I do wrong with the welcome lights?
