Activate Wired Android Auto

Activate wired (USB) Android Auto on your NBT EVO head unit yourself. Allow about 5 minutes, with the vehicle stationary.

Before you start

  • A Windows PC — Windows 11 is recommended
  • An ENET cable (Ethernet ↔ OBD) connected between the car and the PC
  • Ignition on, engine off
  • Battery charged (or a charger connected) — recommended, not mandatory. You can do it with just the ignition on
  • A stable internet connection on the PC
  • SSH access to the unit must be open
  • An NBTevo unit with version Y

  3. Start the activation

    Start the activation and wait until it ends, without switching off the ignition.

  4. Restart the infotainment and connect your phone

    Hold the power/volume button for about 30 seconds, until the screen turns off and on again. Then connect your Android phone over USB and unlock it.
