If following the included directions didn't work (or you're not really very tech oriented), maybe get someone else you know to have a look and see if they can get it working.
Other than that, your best bet would be to contact the seller for guidance or return it and try something else.

My CarLinkit connected super easy on my Seltos SX, just following the included directions.

Make sure you are plugging it in to the correct (always on) USB port closer to the driver side. The one closest to the passenger side (Assuming you are Left hand drive where you are) is NOT the radio connection port.

PS, welcome to the forum

You may have a defective unit, I would return or exchange...
That is a very different looking piece from the one I have...

I tested it on a Jeep and it worked perfectly View attachment 1616

Why does it say CarPlay for an Android device?
Also, why is Netflix an app for a mobile screen? (And a web browser…chrome). Something seems janky there…

At any rate, it Sounds like something isn’t quite set right on your Seltos…Personally, I’d bring in a fresh set of eyes that can check your connections/settings and make sure everything is right. We often overlook things when we think we have tried everything and know the answer.

I know that SCHS had issues with the CarLinkIt and Android, but he was able to get it to connect at least.

I own a 2021 Seltos SX, but never heard of a CarLinkit. Can someone tell me what this is?

It plugs into the always-on USB port and allows wireless CarPlay or Android Auto (YMMV on Android)
If you have the smaller screen entertainment system, you already have wireless connection and don't need it.
