Charging and Connecting To a Car
Charging a Car
The CAR-100 has a standard male Ericsson charger connection. This means that you need a (Sony)Ericsson phone to charge the car, even if you are going to use Car-100 Control to drive the car. To charge the car simple plug it into the bottom of your phone. It will only fit in the correct way round. Obviously your phone needs to have sufficient battery charge to charge up the car.
For more details on charging the car see the instructions that came with your car.
Connecting to a Car
If you have paired the car with your Mac then it will automatically attempt to connect to your Mac when you start to charge it. To connect a car to Car-100 Control simply start the program and plug the car into your phone. The light on the car will turn red and after a couple of seconds the status text in Car-100 Control should read "Bluetooth Car Charging". If you see this then your car has successfully connected to your Mac. The status text may show "Bluetooth Car Initialising" and/or "Bluetooth Car Connected" before showing the charging message, but these messages tend to only be shown for a fraction of a second.
