For me TH-cam closes automatically and Netflix won’t load. It just stay on the Netflix screen and login won’t pop up. I sent an email to them but zero response. Screen Mirror is not even an option that’s on mine and got the same one. American Express will contact them for me and disputing the charge for faulty equipment…
Yo men I used your video halfway. I mean, no disrespect man. But it works for me, on my t cross. And i notice your car was asking you to pair a phone but you didn’t do that. Just saying thanks to your video it helps me to navigate my way out, and thank God that is was following you step by step. I didn’t wait to watch the full clip, i believe that’s why it works for me😊thanks to you men✌🏾
It works for my both android phone and iPhone. I don’t have the slow response like this video. No issue for playing music and navigation. Only one thing I don’t like, from time to time you need to unplug it to avoid connection issue
I have a samsung phone. I used to be able to mirror hulu live on TV at work. Now it says I can't mirror using hulu. Bummed me out. They don't want you watching movies with people i guess
Absolutely no need to connect this device via Bluetooth that’s why you are having these slow problems. Simply go into settings on the car screen, select WiFi, open WiFi hotspot on phone settings and connect that way. Works perfect and none of the issues you are experiencing by connecting the wrong way
To everyone who has a similar issue there is a little button that you can see through the vent. Give it 2 quick presses and a third long press. Hold down until your blue light starts again. This worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you. I think you could also hold that button to reset it.
OH Man! I am watching an reading as many reviews about thos an other devices before I buy one, haven't found one 100% positive experience for any brand. This one was like lookingat a Windows XP PC computer turn on. I really want one that works without lagging or dying a few weeks/months later.
also got issue on Golf GTI. connection ok, but touch screen not always working, need to disconnect and re-connect few times to be able to use with touch screen. annoying
I've got almost everything working in my 2023 Toyota Highlander, except Android Auto... Error msg saying I needed to pair my phone (S24 Ultra) with the device, the very device I'm already connected with.
So team I think I understand what's happening with the TH-cam app and the Android auto . I think you have to add the network settings separately for the TH-cam and the Netflix apps. It seems that the Android auto will connect as long as Bluetooth and wireless are working simultaneously. But if you want the TH-cam and the Netflix apps to run you have to separately allow them access to your Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone or some Wi-Fi source. edit: this means you have to turn off your wifi on your phone and turn on your Hotspot. so ultimately android auto cant run if you use the Netflix or TH-cam apps. its either one or the other but not both. Can someone please confirm this is the behavior they're seeing because I have to turn off my Android auto and then click on the TH-cam apps and allow them network access. Has anyone figured out a way to get the TH-cam apps and Netflix apps to work without having to turn off Android auto on the play2video device?
I have the same device and when I try to play TH-cam or Netflix it says connect to internet, but when I go into settings I just can’t get the wifi from the device to link up with the wifi on my phone. The same wifi is showing on both but they won’t connect. Can anyone help? I only bought this for those two functions, my car already has CarPlay. 2024 Hyundai Tucson, if that helps.
I had to connect it to my in car WiFi connection & was able to log in on both Netflix & TH-cam instantly. But I can't get Android Auto to work inside the device
How were you able to connect it? I can’t get it to connect to the internet. No matter how many times I try the wifi from the Ottocast to my phone won’t connect.
I have the same ottocast device I just received and it's not working. I have an 2019 Lexus es350 luxury and an android phone GS23 ultra and it saying at the bottom right ''Device not Activated''. But it says I'm successfully connected through bluetooth. Any icon or app I try to click on, a message keep popping up about turn on my wifi hotspot on my mobile device, but after even doing that the same messages keep popping up..... Any advice? This device has been every bit of a pain, but as advertised a simple plug n play!
Mine still doesn’t work. Sorry to hear you are also having issues. Maybe I’ll open it up and see what’s inside and if there is anything we can do to get it working.
@DadTechTV Yea thanks for the response man. I think what's going on also is that it's not "brand new" but repackaged/refurbished bugged out devices 🤣🤣 their selling now! I got another one coming tomorrow. Let's see how my luck runs with this one 🤷🏾
@2114tsweet I got one that worked great for 1 week. Then says you tube update. So they sent me another one that donevthe sane thing after a fay. They sent ne a link that doesn't work expecting me to update the thing
This thing is a pain in the ass. Definitely not plug and play. And now you're saying it can't play youtube?? That was the whole reason i got it- its literally on box!
Now i can't input my password for my mobile hotspot. The mazda scroll wheel won't select numbers or letters. What a waste of time this junk turned out to be. Definitely prefer a cord.
Not sure if you watched the whole video but the device completely froze up and now won’t boot up in any vehicle. Tons of people with problems with this device. But I’m sure you might get one that works fine so go for it!
If you break it open, it’s a simple device that many companies are rebranding for themselves. So a ton of crap companies selling the same crap with different names.
This device is shit. Worked for about a month. They told me i meed to purchase a new one. Wtf. I asked why. They never responded after that. Shitty overpriced Chinese crap
I’m going to reach out to the company this week to see what we can do to either return it for another product they make or just get my money back.
You have to have a good WiFi connection
I had the same problem and my Wi-Fi connection was good but after the connection 2-3 sekonds after has disconnected automatically? 🤔

Just got mine today after almost a month and it won’t even connect to my car and they have the worst customer service service asking for a refund.
It works for my both android phone and iPhone. I don’t have the slow response like this video. No issue for playing music and navigation. Only one thing I don’t like, from time to time you need to unplug it to avoid connection issue
Set up was a little bit difficult for me. It’s not user-friendly and that sense but once I had it all set up, it works pretty flawlessly.
Mine won't work at all,it's not connecting to my cars hotspot
Thanks for the review and the funny ending 😁. Tucked that 💴 right back into my pocket.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure some of the other products on the market perform ok, but i picked the wrong one here.
Wat did you decide on? I put a iPad 12.9 right over my screen with magnets lol I love it but I’d like something cleaner
“The problem seems to be that the compartment where you put your Otto device burned out because it needs proper ventilation.”
I have a samsung phone. I used to be able to mirror hulu live on TV at work. Now it says I can't mirror using hulu. Bummed me out. They don't want you watching movies with people i guess

Man I’m gonna try this you may have helped me big time 👍🏻
wifi does not provide wireless apple play among many other things
A1 Yapper
Why the fuck would I use my data...

Im already do that, but not works, thanks anyway 😮💨😞
I took the whole case off. tried a ton of options including the button with multiple press options. all failed. Still a dead unit.
How do you set it up
Ok I'm getting audio from TH-cam but when i click the actual TH-cam app, it says not connected and there's no video

I have Toyota tundra 2023 the box doesn’t work, please be careful
hearing more and more people everyday with these types of devices that just don't work.
I have a 2023 wrangler and the ottocast wouldn't work for me. Ottocast gives nothing but a run around and will not honor their refund policy.
Same issues I have....grarbage. Worked twice in a week then nothing
Probably because you have a Dodge and Dodge is utter trash. Just a thought 😊

It samples mean that your connection is not strong enough, it happens to me also then i have to switch to another network then it works 👌🏾
@@JOSSYZAMARNI how do I switch to another network?
same situation… 2 weeks no problem. after that, (not supportet device) wtf. (Audi A4 avant 2018)
i took mine apart. cheap board you can buy and rebrand. couldn't find a way to do a hard reset even though it did have a small button on it.
@@DadTechTV Could you get your money back?????
Got mine and it connected fine and will play music wireless but it's not going to the screen with netflix and youtube which is what i wanted it for
I had to connect it to my in car WiFi connection & was able to log in on both Netflix & TH-cam instantly. But I can't get Android Auto to work inside the device
How were you able to connect it? I can’t get it to connect to the internet. No matter how many times I try the wifi from the Ottocast to my phone won’t connect.
@@jgonzalez1019 I have built-in WiFi in my car from AT&T... I think I may have programmed it to use that connection.

You have to allow your phone to use your Wi-Fi hotspot and setup that password on the device mine works perfect on my tundra.
Try to disable bt and connect to your cellphone on wifi
hello friends, is possible iptv app launch? thanks you !
I bought one Picasou 2 and not happy with it and support is non existent
From what I found there are ton of the same devices just rebranded. I’m sure there’s good ones out there, just haven’t found one yet.
very high latency when using Waze, wasted money
Maybe it works better with android auto?
If it would connect at all maybe.
Connect it to wifi and let it update.
It’s completely dead.
This thing is a pain in the ass. Definitely not plug and play. And now you're saying it can't play youtube?? That was the whole reason i got it- its literally on box!
La mine nu funcționează youtube și netflix ce pot face , vă mulțumesc 🙏🏼
Now i can't input my password for my mobile hotspot. The mazda scroll wheel won't select numbers or letters. What a waste of time this junk turned out to be. Definitely prefer a cord.
i came to the same conclusion in this video.
Good luck trying to get them to help you out. I purchased this and all I can say is good luck with this piece of junk
Total loss
They might respond if you do a charge back and say item is defective…
Why you only buy from amazon
Will this work if you already have android auto thanks
If you watch the video you will see it would not be recommended to buy based on my experience
So don’t purchase it because you can’t figure out how to set it up
Not sure if you watched the whole video but the device completely froze up and now won’t boot up in any vehicle. Tons of people with problems with this device. But I’m sure you might get one that works fine so go for it!
How do I import videos!!!
device never worked
@@DadTechTV usb worked
holy f this video made me laugh so bad💀
Eu cred ca la tine nu este compatibil și de acea face așa
I don’t know why this quality less products takes market? I can give you a long list of these useless Chinese products…
They are asking 150 USD in Turkey !!!
