R2 ii is not an android device that's probably why.

There is no way to connect this device to your car other than bluetooth. Thats a shame as direct connections always sound better.

Some cars do accept external flash storage devices and the R2 II can act as one. It will basically behave as a glorified sd card reader.

And what setting do you put the R2 in to do that ? I’ve tried in my Mazda Cx9 and no dice .

There's no special setting. When you connect it to a charger it will only charge if I recall correctly. When it detects a connection, you have the option to use it as a DAC or storage. Just make sure that the USB mode is not in "Audio" but in "Storage".
I'm guessing you already tried it. Make sure the car supports the filesystem the SD card is formatted with.

Saw this on your car's manual :

The recommended capacity of the USB memory is 16 GB or less. USB devices formatted to FAT32 are supported (USB devices formatted to other formats such as NTFS are not supported).

Let it charge for a while. Maybe the battery icon was showing a wrong value.

 

[colourvisionkid]

Will try thanks for your help

After Full charge still not functioning correctly screen appears garbled and touch screen works intermittently and keeps requiring hard reset

doesnt matter if Sd Card Inserted or Not

After less than a month of use, my Hiby R2 II stopped booting up completely after being idle for 30 minutes

I do not recommend it.

It sounds like an hardware problem. Send an email to hiby directly, maybe they know some troubleshooting steps we don't know.

I recommend the same to you. Contact hiby and inform us on the outcome. I'm curious to know if there's a fix other than sending the unit back.
