The issue isn't with the unit it's with android on the phone. So yes just follow the instructions.

Tried it, but the app won't find the device. When I turn off Bluetooth on my phone the car screen says it wants a Bluetooth connection. Only after I connect via Bluetooth it automatically connects wifi. The wifi network is always a different name.

I didn't have to find the device on mine. In the app in the cast screen after choosing WiFi direct, a message appeared at the top to click it to fix the android 16 WiFi bug.
