You’re all set!
Have fun with your new buddy. Here are a few more things to try.
Little tricks
Switch characters
Pick a new buddy anytime in the app. Each one has its own face and voice.
Play some music
Turn on music in the car and BLINK dances. Every genre gets its own moves.
Take a turn
BLINK uses your phone to react when you brake, turn and hit bumps.
Ask for more
Jokes, stories, sports scores and song titles. Just say “Hey buddy.”
Before you drive
Set BLINK up while you’re parked. Place it where it won’t block your view, mirrors or airbags, and keep your eyes on the road.
Stuck?
Make sure Bluetooth is on and your phone is close to BLINK. Close and reopen the app, then unplug BLINK for a few seconds and plug it back in.
Answers need your phone’s internet. Check that your phone has signal or Wi-Fi and that the app is open and connected.
Check that the USB cable is pushed in all the way at both ends. Some car USB ports only turn on when the car is on.
