Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I download other apps like Hulu or games onto the device? A: No. To ensure the best performance and stability, the Play2Video Pro is designed to run only the five pre-installed video applications. Additional app downloads are not supported.
Q: Does video playback use my phone’s data? A: Yes. To stream video from apps like Netflix or YouTube, the adapter must be connected to a Wi-Fi signal. Most users will connect it to their smartphone’s mobile hotspot, which will use their phone’s data plan.
Q: Can I use Google Maps and watch YouTube at the same time? A: No. You must choose which mode to be in. You can either be in Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto mode to use apps from your phone (like Google Maps), or you can be in the standalone video streaming mode to watch videos. You cannot do both simultaneously.
