Hi Drew,

You can refer to this chart to see if your car is eligible for Autokit products. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0618/3793/4758/t/1/assets/lk84fut8mi97ai5offq_1200x.jpeg?v=1689674281)
If your car passes all the tests, but Autokit still cannot be recognized, you can contact our after-sales mailbox, and we will try our best to help you solve the problem.

If the device isn’t recognized by the head unit; how can we run or select any settings with no way to interact with the box?
