Instructions

Important Setup Note:

To ensure proper setup and connections, please make sure you are setting up the device out of range of your home Wi-Fi. The device is designed to allow your Tesla to prioritize your home Wi-Fi network over the DYLNK Cast Pro's Wi-Fi network. This way, when you return home after a drive, you will not have to manually reconnect your Tesla to your home Wi-Fi network, ensuring that your Tesla receives the updates it needs automatically.

Enabling Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in Your Tesla

WARNING:
Do not connect the CastPro Bluetooth network ('tsl') to your Tesla's Bluetooth. If you do, CarPlay will not pop up

Step 1: Pairing Your Smartphone via Bluetooth

  1. Open Bluetooth Settings on Your Smartphone:

    • On your iOS or Android device, open the Bluetooth settings.
  2. Locate the DYLNK Cast Pro:

    • Look for the DYLNK Cast Pro device, labeled as "tsl...," in the list of available Bluetooth devices.
  3. Initiate Pairing:

    • Select the DYLNK Cast Pro device to start the pairing process.
    • When prompted, ensure you press "Allow" for Favorites and Contacts.
    • A pop-up will appear asking to use Apple CarPlay—make sure to press "Use CarPlay".
    • For Android devices, when prompted, make sure to press "Allow Android Auto".

    Please Note: Once the Bluetooth pairs, you might notice that you are no longer connected to the device via Bluetooth after a couple of seconds. This is normal, as the device will drop the Bluetooth connection after successfully connecting. This step is only to initiate the device to show its Wi-Fi network. As long as you can see the Wi-Fi network of the device in your Tesla's Wi-Fi settings, your phone does not need to stay connected via Bluetooth.

    Note: The Wi-Fi network will only be discoverable after connecting to the DYLNK Cast Pro via Bluetooth.

Step 2: Connecting to Tesla Wi-Fi Settings

  1. Open Wi-Fi Settings on Your Tesla:

    • On your Tesla's dashboard, navigate to the 'Wi-Fi Settings' menu.
  2. Find and Connect to DYLNK Cast Pro:

    • Scroll through the list of available networks until you find the DYLNK Cast Pro network, labeled as "tsl...".
    • Connect to the DYLNK Cast Pro network using the PIN: 12345678.
  3. Enable 'Stay Connected in Drive':

    • Once you see the green checkmark showing you are connected, click on the network.
    • You will see a box that says "Remain connected in drive"—make sure to check off that box for uninterrupted service while driving.
  4. Access zbox.link:

    • Open the browser on your Tesla and enter the URL: zbox.link
    • Follow the on-screen prompts, pressing 'Next' and then 'Done.' You will be left on a page that says "Phone Waiting to be Connected" with two options: Link (CarPlay/Android Auto) and AirPlay (Screen Mirroring).

Step 3: Using CarPlay/Android Auto

  1. CarPlay/Android Auto:
    • Start by ensuring that Link is highlighted in blue.
    • Wait for about 10 seconds, and your CarPlay or Android Auto will automatically pop up on the Tesla's screen.

Step 4: Screen Mirroring

Important: Screen mirroring will only work if accessed from the CarPlay interface.

  1. Screen Mirroring:

    • To use the Screen Mirroring function, locate the light blue app labeled Tesla on the CarPlay interface.
    • Click on this app, and it will take you back to the page with the Link and AirPlay options.
    • Highlight AirPlay in blue.
    • On your iPhone, drag down the Control Center and click on the Screen Mirroring option.
    • You will see a device named ZJ AirPlay—connect to it.
    • Your iPhone’s screen will now be mirrored onto your Tesla’s display.

    Note: If you encounter any issues or have questions during the integration process, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
