Hi,

 

I have a rental car MY16 with MIB2 headunit (hardware: H25, Software: 0245)

I can find Smartlink option in menu. I also have the activation code, activation number, and PIN code for Smartlink activation.

Latest Android Auto is installed to my phone, but when I connect phone to the car with USB cable, nothing happens.

Is the smartlink really activated on the headunit? How can I check this? If I can find smartlink in menu, does this mean it is activated?

If it is not activation problem, which version of AA shall I use, and with which configuration?

 

Thanks,

FGD

 

it is working only with an original USB phone cable.

some aftermarket USB cables don't allow for the correct transmission of the data. I've got my oem cable in the car and an aftermarket one on the charger

Thanks guys.

A new cable solved the problem.

Appreciate the help.

 

Cheers,

FGD

You also have to enable detecting/allowing the new connection in the AA settings.
