When you've connected your device to CarPlay and wish to switch to MirrorLink, you'll need to first disconnect or "forget" the existing Wi-Fi connection on the device. This step is Necessary because CarPlay and MirrorLink use different communication protocols and cannot operate simultaneously over the same Wi-Fi network. By disconnecting the Wi-Fi connection used for CarPlay, you ensure that the device can establish a new, uninterrupted connection with MirrorLink.
We recommend following specific steps to properly disconnect and reconnect your device to facilitate a smooth transition between the two systems.
