Hi MacConsult,

Sorry about that. Maybe I just fail at linking. I just copied the URL from the top of my browser while viewing the item on Amazon, I presumed it should have worked. Are you sure you don't have some kind of malware or something intercepting your links?

Anyways, just go on Amazon and look for "HIGHROCK 30cm USB 2.0 a Power Enhancer Y 1 Female to 2 Male Data Charge Cable Extension Cord"

Can one of you guys really help me I updated my firmware through usb and it looks like it was the wrong one has anyone got a link to firmware: 2019.07.29.1453 that’s the last working version i had
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
sorry guys but I can't solve. I purchased my carplay dongle for use in the car. If I use the autokit.apk application installed on the tablet everything works perfectly but the same application installed on the auto touch device does not start. I tried either by directly connecting the carplay dongle directly to the USB socket (extension connected to a car device) or via a USB hub connected to the extension, but I don't get the connection. I don't see the Android Auto boot mode on my phone. Can I solve the problem?
[Android Head-Units] mjones73:
I updated mine to the latest version of autokit and now have large black bars boarding the AA screen, anyone manage to get the AA display to use the full screen instead?
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:

No worries for the edit, apologies it wasn't meant to be a business thing, just trying to help out anybody who might have wanted it before stuck it on eBay.

As I no longer have my head unit, I won't be on here much, but I wish you all the best with your dongles, its been an interesting journey and this forum has been very helpful.
[Android Head-Units] kolai:
1) Let's verify if your Android unit recognizes the CarPlay dongle after plug in! What was the message / status of Autokit after you start the app? If the Android unit recognizes the dongle, Autokit has the animation of running circle trying to establish connection with your hand phone. If the Android unit does not recognizes the dongle, Autokit has a steady circle at the center.

If the Android unit does not recognizes the dongle, your unit's usb port may not have enough power (current) to feed the dongle!
[Android Head-Units] Chinmonkie:
quick question does anyone know if autokit.apk only supports one finger touch inputs or is there a possible workaround/fix for multitouch. My android head unit supports capacitive touch and It functions fine with my overlay. But when I use the dongle for android auto plugged in (having difficulty with wifi) I only get mono touch on Waze, Maps etc.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Android Head-Units] slunat:
This might be a limitation of android auto rather than the dongle. With apple carplay you can't do things like pinch to zoom in the map applications, because apple have blocked it. It may be the same story for Android auto
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
thanks for the support. when I start the autokit application I see a complete circle for 3/4 with written in the center "please connect the phone". If I connect my mobile phone, I see the word "please insert the product" and on my mobile I see the connection to the network. Can I solve the problem? Is it a problem of the USB extension connected to the android device or is the problem directly the usb port of the Android device?
[Android Head-Units] kolai:
I'm suspecting your Android usb port does not give enough juice to power the dongle. In previous message, you mentioned you tried a usb hub. Was it a hub with external power? If not, try an external power usb hub to eliminate the suspect.
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
USB hub is connected to the USB extension that goes to the Android device. Can I try a USB hub powered by the cigarette lighter socket?
[Android Head-Units] kolai:
Yes, this can verify if your Android usb has enough current or not. Go ahead to test it.
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
to understand I took the cable to three. A male USB socket connects it to the android device, the carplay android dongle adapter to the female usb socket and the other male usb socket connect it to the USB cigarette lighter HUB. To the android device which of the two usb sockets should I connect? The colored one?
[Android Head-Units] kolai:
You need a 12V DC powered usb hub (see attached images as examples).

The hub's male usb plugs into 1 of 2 Android usb sockets (both should work). CarPlay dongle plugs into of the usb sockets in the hub. 12V DC comes from cigarette socket. Clear?
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
Sorry, the problem is that my android car device has only 1 usb port. In this case, how can I do it? Do I connect not-powered USB hub in the device Android?

i have this cable '' https://www.amazon.it/dp/B009EAF0RU/ref=gno_cart_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
[Android Head-Units] kolai:
One usb port is enough for CarPlay to work. Looking at the cable link, I'm not sure if the female socket is getting all the current from the "power" male plug!

I guess no harm trying. Just plug the "power" male plug into a (say 2.1A) car charger. And see!

The best is if you have an usb tester (see attached) to confirm how much current is providing to CarPlay dongle.
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
the very strange thing is that I tried to connect the two male usb sockets to a USB HUB connected to the extension of the android device I have in the car and I inserted the carplay dongle in the USb premminated socket. With my son's Iphone I can make the connection even if I remove and plug in his phone cable several times. With my android phone instead the connection does not take place. But is it possible that the problem is mine alone? Isn't it that I have to replace the USB extension connected to the Android device with another one? This is extension cable USB

[Android Head-Units] maxngck:
Hi all,

I have gotten a used android headunit and a carlinkit from my friend. Previously he was using it to connect to his carplay. He has no issue connecting. However, after he dekitted from his car and transferred to my car (we have the same car Mazda 6), i have been trying to connect the dongle to the headunit but to no avail. I am using Samsung Note 10+ and would like to connrct to Android Auto.

At 1st i downloaded Autokit apps but it showed unauthorized box message. Then i deleted Autokit and installed Autoplay instead. Then it showed "The box version is too low, please insert U disk to upgrade". So i downloaded the update img file here to a thumbdrive and did the updating by inserting the thimbdrive to the dongle 1st then connect the dongle to the headunit and the screen showed updating. After completed the updating, now i plug in the dongle and it seemed unable to detect it anymore. The autoplay will pop up whenever i plug in the dongle but it ask to insert the box to the usb.....

Now i am completely lost snd not sure how to go about it. Should i delete the Autoplay and use Autokit instead? Anyone having this problem or have any solution on my issue? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Max

Do you know your dongle model number? My dongle is relatively new with wireless CarPlay capability. Model number is CPC200-Autokit. Obvioursly, I use Autokit app & the setup is stable.

In your case, I would trouble shoot with a borrowed iPhone first. If everything goes well, you can eliminate hardware setup issue. The problem lies in software.
[Android Head-Units] maxngck:
Hi,

I am not very sure about the model model. But i guess it should be rather old (maybe is the 1st gen).

But for now it cannot detect the box at all after plug into the HU usb. I guess need to address this 1st :confused:
[Android Head-Units] guacianiero:
regardless of the device I have a problem of incorrect power supply. The child's iPhone works but I have to remove and put the cable several times to get it started. Which USB hub with connection to the car charger advises me that it doesn't cost you a fortune? For example this model i correct fro my use?

[Android Head-Units] lew26:
On my dongle the model number is printed on the side. Posting the exact model number might give you better help. Flashing firmware, when you're not sure if the firmware is correct for your model, is looking for trouble. JMO

edited to add I'm still getting issues having the software recognize the dongle, even after using a powered hub and the original cable which came with my phone. I suspect the quality control on these units are iffy

Siri hears herself and turns it to text in messages

So I have this issue with my carplay..

I say "Hey Siri Message (insert name here)"

She says "What do you want to say"

I say for example "I will be there in 10 minutes"

She says "Your message to (insert name here) is Do you want to say I will be there in 10 minutes".

SOOOOOO She is hearing herself say "do you want to say" and adding that to the start of my message...

I think this is because there is a pretty bad lag/latency in the audio on these system... for example watching a youtube video on the phone the audio is severely out of sync with the visual...

This is really quite bad..

I am running an iphone XS Max so its not a slow phone... Into the black wireless carplay adaptor... I have tried all three modes in the app (speed, fluency, compatible) and they all have the same result..

App and Box are up to date..

I have tried both wired and wireless with the box... Same result...

Honestly it does my head in!

Cpc200-cmap

Hi,

I just got a dongle with model number CPC200-CMAP, in the instruction it says that you can connect wireless, but inside Autokit it says “function not supported” when I tab the “Bluetooth” icon. Also I cannot see/find it in Bluetooth settings on my iPhone, so guessing it is not the wireless model after all, or am I doing something wrong?

My “head unit” is a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet.

Further, when using a wired connection it seems to be fairly low resolution and looks kind of ugly once connected - any suggestions?

I can only select the “compatible” mode in the settings, otherwise I get an error “The navigation machine is not supported [..]”. CarPlay is running in the background (I can play music), but on the screen I only see that message.

What to do?

Thanks!

I ordered a wireless carplay dongle for my android head unit but I'm having issues with it. Every morning when the android unit boots from cold it does not recognise the car play dongle and I get the message "please insert the product".

Hi has anybody else got a problem with the new 2020.01.17 update my Bluetooth connects but it won’t connect to WiFi anymore
[Android Head-Units] slunat:
Yes same problem I had. In fact, I appear to have bricked my dongle by trying to upgrade it manually with a USB. Apparently, it didn’t like the new version I put on there. Now whenever I plug it in it say the product isn’t legitimate and to contact the dealer, even though i bought it directly from CarlinKit. I am currently speaking to them to try and get resolved so I’ve gone back to my old trusty wired dongle for now but I’m going to be very annoyed if I can’t get this working and I need to buy another. I’m still within 1 year warranty so hopefully I can sort with carlinkit. If anyone’s got any advice or experience with the issue I have, please let me know.

I'm currently searching and scanning this 128 page thread. There's a ton of information here. My core question is this:

Does anyone here have carplay working reliably through a tablet in a vehicle in which the tablet is charged (or powered) by the vehicle battery? If so, can you please share your setup info and whether you are using the wired or wireless carplay dongle/adapter?

I'm using the wireless Carlinkit "CPC200-AutoKit PRO" with Nexus 7 2013 ElementalX kernel with OTG+Charge enabled. Everything works pretty flawlessly until I turn the car off, then turn it back on. The dongle no longer is recognized by the Autokit software and only a restart of the tablet brings it back. I'm not sure if its a problem with the Nexus USB controller, or with the Dongle. I have 2 dongles, one a replacement Amazon sent to me and both exhibit the same issue.

Re: The title of this thread "New apple CarPlay usb dongle for android headhunts and tablets."

So, for those of us attempting to utilize the carplay dongle for a "carputer" setup with Android tablets, support options may be limited. Just a heads up.

Regardless though, I've learned MUCH more about the software from reading this thread than I could ever hope to learn from the support channels of the carlinkit folks.

Hi to all and I would appreciate any help.

I recently bought a black car play USB dongle model (cpc200-auto-ca) to use with my Android car sound system and my Android 10 phone.

The package had Autobox apk as the default app witch I used with no problems.

Then I tried to use Autokit apk just to spot any differences witch it seemed to tried to work but the screen immediately got black and from then I get the message "the product is not authorised please contact the dealer" every time I connect the dongle to my car system. I tried to use Autobox apk again after I uninstalled auto kit and reinstalled Autobox but now I get the same message to Autobox app as well.

Now I tried everything and every app and I can't get it to work and I keep receiving the "not authorised" message in every app.

Is there any way to make it work again or reset the dongle or should I give up hope?

Thanks in advance for any help and solution

Did you by any chance update the firmware on the dongle via Autobox or AutoKit? You could try to update the firmware to a latest version and try agian.
