What are the reasons for frequent disconnections of Carlife connection?

Reasons for frequent disconnections of Carlife connection: 1. Mobile phone data cable: Because the original data cable of the phone has data transmission function, generally the newly purchased data cable does not have this function and can only charge or the data transmission is unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to use the original data cable for connection. 2. Car USB interface: The voltage of the USB interface connected to the data cable of some models is insufficient, and too low voltage will also cause disconnection or instability when connecting Carlife. It is necessary to reinstall a USB interface or reconnect the circuit. 3. Incorrect transmission method: When using a data cable to connect the phone, the transmission mode must be switched to data transmission or file transmission. Otherwise, there will be problems of disconnection and instability. 4. Other reasons: It may be due to the version of Baidu Carlife, and it is necessary to download the genuine Baidu Carlife for use; it may also be due to the WI-FI connection of Carlife, and it is possible that this version does not yet support WI-FI connection, and it needs to be updated to the latest version to use WI-FI connection.
I often use CarLife for navigation while driving, but the frequent disconnections are really annoying. There could be multiple issues: the USB cable might be too loose or of poor quality—try switching to an original or certified cable; the phone system or CarLife App might not be updated to the latest version, which can cause bugs—check for updates in the settings; the car's infotainment system software might be lagging—try restarting it by turning off and on the ignition; the phone might be low on battery or the port could be dirty—clean the USB port; environmental interference like strong magnetic fields or high temperatures might affect signal transmission; or there could be compatibility issues—ensure your phone model supports CarLife protocol and check the official compatibility list if necessary. Disconnections can interrupt music and navigation, so it's recommended to maintain the cable properly by avoiding bends and trying the connection process multiple times if issues arise.
