⚠️ Important (first step)
Prior to using the wireless dongle, disassociate your AT/NT1100 from the phone. The motorcycle may prompt you to connect repeatedly (especially on Android). Ignore that and only pair with "smartBox-****".
🎧 Intercom required for initial setup
To use a wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay dongle on the Honda NT1100 (or Africa Twin with TFT display), you must first pair a compatible Bluetooth intercom (e.g., Sena, Cardo, etc.) via the bike’s TFT screen.
The Honda system requires a paired audio device to complete the initial dongle setup. Without this connection, the system will prevent the configuration process from proceeding.
✅ Recommended steps
1) Pair your Bluetooth intercom through the bike’s TFT display before starting the dongle setup.
2) Complete the dongle setup with the intercom connected.
3) After setup, the dongle will operate normally with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
The Honda dealer may say an intercom must always be connected for Android Auto/CarPlay to work. However, we have a solution to bypass this limitation.
🔄 Alternative if no intercom is available
- You may temporarily use a Bluetooth speaker or other audio device.
- Pair this device to the bike during the initial dongle setup.
- Once setup is complete, the Bluetooth device can be turned off while still maintaining pairing. Sometimes this may not work, and you will need the device always turned on.
🤖 Android Instructions
Android Auto • Android 11 and above

Android 11 and above.

Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and search for the Bluetooth device named "smartBox-****".

After the connection, wait a few seconds and the Android Auto interface will be shown.

Note: If a message appears stating "A Bluetooth headset is required to enable Android Auto", ignore the intercom message and try pairing again from the motorcycle settings menu.

🍎 iPhone Instructions
Apple CarPlay • iOS 12.1 and above

iOS 12.1 and above.

Turn on Bluetooth on your iPhone and search for the Bluetooth device named "smartBox-****". Pair it, allow the sync, and finally tap "Use CarPlay".

After the connection, wait a few seconds and the CarPlay interface will be shown.

For the latest iOS versions: "Connect to CarPlay" pop-up not showing?

For the latest iOS versions, check if the "Connect to CarPlay" pop-up appears.

If it doesn't, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps. If Content & Privacy Restrictions is off, CarPlay will be allowed. If it's on, ensure the CarPlay toggle is green (enabled).

Important: Select "Remember My Choice" and press ENABLE for about 3 seconds. This screen appears only the first time the dongle is configured.

If this option does not appear, ensure the intercom is correctly paired with the motorcycle.

Without this option enabled, you might encounter issues when switching between the motorcycle dashboard and CarPlay.

Important: If the handlebar Page button does not return to the CarPlay menu, tap the Clock and then select "Apple CarPlay".

After this procedure, the Page button should work normally.

How to reset the device?

1) Connect the dongle directly to a 5V USB power source, such as a mobile phone charger or a car USB port. (Do not use the computer's USB port)
⚠️ Do not use the AT/NT1100's USB port.

2) On your phone, search for Wi-Fi networks and connect to "smartBox-****" using the password: 88888888
