Frequently Asked Questions
This kit does not preserve factory XM/AM radio. However, XM/AM radio is still accessible by using apps in CarPlay.
Our team developed a Hamilton operating system beneath CarPlay/Android Auto. If you would like a data connection, install a 4G SIM card (Hamilton recommends T-Mobile) or connect to your phone’s hotspot when CarPlay/Android Auto are not in use.
Using our underlying operating system, you have the ability to download apps that are not available for CarPlay/Android Auto straight onto your device. This includes streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube (please research and abide by local laws regarding video usage on screen). Hamilton only advises that this feature is ever used when the vehicle is parked.
