Frequently Asked Questions - WVICH-03 CRUX

How do I mirror my iPhone to the CRUX WVICH-03?

Connect your iPhone to the WiFi network named Crux WiFi ***. Then open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, and select Crux WiFi ***.

Why is my screen showing a blue screen when I switch to AV input?

A blue screen indicates no video signal on the AV input. Ensure a video source (camera or external device) is connected and powered. Press BACK or turn off the toggle switch to exit.

How do I switch to the AV input on my radio?

Press the BACK button on the factory radio. If your radio lacks a BACK button, connect a toggle switch between the GREEN wire and +12V, then toggle it to switch. Ensure DIP switch #1 is set to OFF for toggle mode.

Can I stream Netflix or other DRM-protected content from my iPhone?

No. Due to Apple restrictions, the CRUX WVICH-03 does not support Netflix or any DRM-protected content on iOS devices. Use non-DRM apps like YouTube, Facetime, or Maps.

How do I access the virtual remote control?

Ensure your phone is connected to the Crux WiFi *** network. Open a web browser and go to 192.168.59.254. The virtual remote control page will load, allowing you to play/pause, skip tracks, adjust volume, and select media sources.

Which vehicles are compatible with the WVICH-03?

Compatible models include Dodge Durango (2014-2015), Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2013-2016) (excluding trucks with factory backup/cargo cameras), and Jeep Grand Cherokee (2014-2016) with 5" or 8.4" Uconnect radios.

How should I set the DIP switches on the CAN module?

For standard operation, set DIP #4 to ON to enable AV input. DIP #1 should be ON for VIM enable or OFF if using a toggle switch. DIP #5 and #6 are for CAN termination; set DIP #6 to ON if the radio freezes. Refer to the manual for full settings.

Do I need an active internet connection for mirroring?

No. Mirroring uses a direct WiFi connection between your device and the WVI-H module. No internet is required.

Can I connect a reversing camera to the WVICH-03?

Yes. The A/V input can be used to connect a camera. You will need to trigger the input using the BLUE wire connected to +12V, optionally via a toggle switch.

How do I update the firmware on the WVICH-03?

The manual does not mention firmware updates. For any updates or issues, contact CRUX support at [phone] or visit www.cruxinterfacing.com.

5. If the USB input feature will be used, you can use the virtual remote control on your smartphone to control the USB functions. See VIRTUAL REMOTE section for details. Extended a USB cable to an easily accessible location.
6. Plug in the Composite RCA output of the WVI-H harness to the WVICH-03B AV input.
