Connecting HUDWAY Cast with your iPhone

Wireless connection

As since the HUDWAY Cast 1.2.7 we don't supply wired connection with iOS, which proved to be unstable, when you connect your phone wirelessly, you can plug it in the cigarette lighter adaptor to prevent the battery from running flat because of active use of GPS.

Please note that you will need to keep the iPhone screen on while mirroring the data. If it locks, the mirroring will shut off, and you will need to reconnect the devices after you unlock your phone screen. 

The table below outlines the steps to follow while using HUDWAY Cast app and without it.
