Initiate CarPlay or Android Auto on your phone to begin pairing, and complete any on-screen prompts within the Orbit C100 interface to finalize the connection.
6. Test and finalize: Reconnect the vehicle battery, power on the ignition, and test the display. Verify that navigation, audio playback, calls, and messaging flow correctly through CarPlay and Android Auto. Tidy up wiring with zip ties and mount the unit securely to prevent movement while driving.
