Using a wired dongle with AutoPlayBox APK and it seems to be working well, quite stable except the Steering Keys. Does anyone know how to configure my steering keys to work with wired carplay dongle? I have tried Key Learning but the none of the keys get registered
[Android Head-Units] looxonline:
What head unit do you have? Android version, brand and manufacturer.

Also, are you using CANBus keys on the SWC or resistive keys?
[Android Head-Units] Pat123:
It's from Asottu (Allwinner T3, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB Internal, Android 6.0.1)

It is from my factory steering wheel that came pre-installed on my Hyundai. Works fine with the Android system but does not get detected in Carplay Key Learning app. I wonder if its because Android is not sending key presses to USB?
[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
Has anybody received a new update for their wireless CarPlay autobox?
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
No. How would we?
[Android Head-Units] looxonline:
I wrote an app that is designed to intercept the key presses and turn them into USB inputs. Works perfectly on my unit but others have struggled to get it working on theirs. It was designed for an FYT android 8 system so I doubt that it would work on an android 6 system.

If you have an apps section in the settings menu you could try to disable battery/power saving for the zlink/zbox apk.

One more question: Do you have a steering wheel learning app that came with the unit? If you use that does it detect the steering wheel buttons? Some units have apps which do not detect the buttons but the buttons still work within the OS. This means that the buttons are using CANbus.
[Android Head-Units] Pat123:
Thanks. Will try. Do you mind sharing the app you wrote as well to try, taking a chance on my luck?

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Yes, my Android box has its own learning app and steering keys work perfectly with it.
[Android Head-Units] looxonline:
Search the forum for "Zlink Carplay and steering wheel control". The app is still in beta so there are some debug messages that will appear. You will need to be rooted with the xposed framework installed for it to work.

Ive found a few problem with the zbox and the Carlike wireless dongle.

The best way to connect them is always to pass trough an USB hub. With that I’ve no problem or disconnection.

iOS 13 beta is buggy with music and maps. The sound is stuttering.

Do you think we could have someday a carplay wireless client for android without the need to use the lightning cable?We reversed engineer airplay, airplay mirroring, carplay, now we need a wireless carplay client for android.
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
That’s exactly what we need. Everything is wireless now, I don’t have anything except that that needs a cable plugged into my iPhone X.
[Android Head-Units] MacConsult:
Be grateful for that, because the wire does one other important thing aside from connecting your phone to the headunit - it provides charging.

Running navigation is battery intensive - and while so many people clamor for wireless CarPlay (and Apple has provided it) i have no doubt it will be accompanied by a ton of idiots complaining how suddenly their batteries drain so much faster, and how that’s somehow Apple‘s fault.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Invoking Siri via the steering wheel doesn’t work via the zBox device either - albeit the developer is claiming to be working on the next software update that will provide that, soon.
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
That would be their problem. I have a wireless charger in my car. I wouldn’t stop evolving because some people might not understand the technology.

Hi,

Can anyone please help.

I bought the white version that supports carplay and android auto.

Downloaded and installed the apk VER:2017.09.29.1071. Got the app from the seller.

Plugged in the white dongle into the usb port of the headunit, but it is not detecting the dongle. The app is stuck on "Please insert the box into the USB port of the car".

Please help.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] giulianoseguro:
There is a updated version to the app. I posted the link here previously. Try using the new version, maybe it works :)
[Android Head-Units] dummptyhummpty:
I have the white Carlinkit Android Auto/Carplay dongle and seem to be having display issues. The carplay image is grayscale and multiplied 8 times over the screen. I tried the APK in this thread and the seller supplied 2018.0.03 version with the same results. The strange thing is that when the android volume level shows up (adjusting the volume), the display shows as you would expect. Has any one run into this?
[Android Head-Units] sunil.m:
Yes I had that problem. When I updated the ROM of my stereo then the problem went away
[Android Head-Units] CleanKM:
Thanks for sharing! The pop-ups for "use this device..." still come up everytime the headunit is started even with this update, no matter if i click the use as default check box. Do you happen to have a newer version that you can share? I've looked everywhere for the apk for the carplay usb dongles, but it seems to be only shared by various users such as yourself. Is there a central place where folks can go to get an updated copy?
[Android Head-Units] dummptyhummpty:
Do you know what it was? I'm using DSA's firmware and an update didn't help.

This is what's on the box for mine: http://121.40.123.198:8080/autobox/autoplaybox.apk
[Android Head-Units] Ygglur79:
Changelog?

Does anyone know what the changes are in the different updates for the unit?

Just downloaded the 4.1.0 from the zjinnova.com web page and can't find any information about the changes.
[Android Head-Units] sirdir:
This works only with that special app, not with Mirrorlink or something, does it?

I have unlocked my R-Link to support Android Auto and MirrorLink, but what I'd actually love would be carplay.
[Android Head-Units] wattocs:
I tried to use the dongle on my PC with the Android RemixOS and it works perfectly. So there's no problem with the dongle. The difference I saw is that in my PC the app asks for USB permission which after clicking OK the dongle is quickly detected, but in my android headunit the USB permission dialog does not pop up, so I guess the dongle is not detected because the app is not given usb permission.

How do I manually give usb permission to the app? I tried looking for it at the settings app, but there's not usb permission there. I also tried turning usb debugging on, still did not work.
[Android Head-Units] wattocs:
Solved this by upgrading the android firmware.

Anyone know what the Zbox-Z2 supports ? Can't find any info on the version.

[Android Head-Units] taim99:
I downloaded and installed latest 4.1.1 APK and 4.1.0 firmware from http://zjinnova.com/cn/forum/download?token=Dy1UGlzTMxA= and it seems like they have added support for integration of steering wheel controls which is great and is working fine with my 2017 Civic. The only thing I want from it now is to support Android 6.x multi window mode as I use a vertical Tesla style head unit where I like to run apps in split screen (CarPlay at bottom, Waze on top) but zBox app unfortunately doesn't scale properly on it. Anyone have any workaround for this? Is there anyway to contact developer to add support for this? The autoplaybox APK (for white CarPlay dongle) works fine in multi window mode but unfortunately lacks steering wheel support, right hand driving option, and more :(

[Android Head-Units] Sudupe:
I have used an usb hub with power suply and nothing, still “insert the product” on screen
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
It might be important what kind of hub it is. If it’s a bad quality hub, instead of solving problems, it might actually introduce them. I have a hub myself, but I haven’t install it yet because the wired dongle before I buy the wireless was working great and I didn’t see a reason to install.
[Android Head-Units] AppleIron:
Of if the HU in good and it’s able to provide the right current to the dongle, you are right! There’s no reason to use an HUB.

If it doesn’t work simply try the second USB port of the HU and see if it’s working or not. It’s also possibile that you have a defective dongle.
[Android Head-Units] Sudupe:
I think that this is the problem.

When I bought the dongle, with my first connection, dongle was recogniced and I tried a carplay connection. But befoure I could connect, autokit was blocked and I needed to restart. After that, I couldnt make the dongle be recogniced again.

[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
I’ve just tried it and found music stuttering so that’s not solved yet
[Android Head-Units] AppleIron:
[MENTION=9980837]Sudupe[/MENTION]

Did you do that while you were on wifi (I mean the HU had the internet connection)?

Because is possible that the firmware of the dongle was updating. And it could be the problem.

Try reinstall the apk in the HU Zane also try to check if it’s have the permission (also check if it’s in low power mode in the Android settings).
[Android Head-Units] Sudupe:
Yes, it was with internet connection, but I did not choose to update and nothing was showing in autokit about it.
[Android Head-Units] foxi1984:
Can you explain that? Why an USB hub? To get external power? Where did you plug it in?
[Android Head-Units] AppleIron:
Usually the HU doesn’t have so much power on their USB, so the phone and/or dongle requests more power and the disconnects/problems come with that.

The connection is simple: connect the usb hub to the USB adapter OF THE CAR (you should have one for do this), connect the ISB of the HU to the hub and finally connect the dongle to the hub.

Not all the HU are the same, so if you have problems it has sense, if not follow without the hub.

[MENTION=9980837]Sudupe[/MENTION]

I don’t know if this dongle do the update automatically, but the zbox do that, so you can try with the hub and see what happen.
[Android Head-Units] foxi1984:
Oh okay, and you really mean a simple USB hub with let‘s say 4 ports?! No need to buy a hub with external power capabilities?
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
Not a simple one, the only point for the external hub is to inject more power. It should be powered.
[Android Head-Units] foxi1984:
Could you please share a link of such a hub?
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I use a hub for my dab adapter, and I just got a simple one and took it apart and connected a 5v supply into it. Works a treat. You need to disconnect the 5v supply cable from the usb input, but keep the ground.

[Android Head-Units] slunat:
How did you get the update?
[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
The seller emailed it to me
[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
This is the new update I received from seller should be for 2019.06.18

View attachment Auto_Box_Update.img

Upgrade method:

1. Format U-disk to FAT32 firstly.

2. Put " Auto_Box_Update.img " into U-disk (blank U-disk ) root directory

(you don't bring folder into U-disk ).

3. Insert the CarPlay dongle with car's usb port, click "Autokit" icon and then plug U-disk into the CarPlaydongle ( upgrade automatically), then follow the on-screen instructions to remove the U disk.

I had a look this morning but the app says there’s no new version and the link hasn’t yet got the new version.

They are probably testing it with a few users first, and then when its not caused any major problems they will push it as an update via the app I expect.

[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
Updated to the new update today but found its not very stable trying to connect the phone wirelessly so I went back to the June 18th update and it works a lot better for me with connecting only taking a few seconds so will stick with that one.

iOS 13 Public Beta is out. Does it fix the CarPlay bugs?
[Android Head-Units] AppleIron:
NO, the Beta 2 doesn’t fix the music stuttering on CarPlay but it’s enable automations (not always working) and ‘hey siri’. Obvious it’s also enable CarPlay Siri shortcuts.

I’m sure you guys know this but I’m on beta 2 ( iPhone XS ) and car play is silky smooth with literately zero issues using wireless car play in my BMW ( oem stuff ) but with the wireless adapter ( 18/6 firmware ) in my Range Rover via an android headunit I’m seeing audio stutter

[Android Head-Units] techo91:
I didn’t know that. This changes the game. I don’t think the Chinese guys will use the beta firmware to test their dongle though. I know on their place i would as this is going to help me for the future, but I’m not sure we can ask for such a thing. Nevertheless, they need to know. If someone tells them it would be great, I ask them too many times and they don’t reply to me anymore.
[Android Head-Units] AppleIron:
That’s not completely correct.

With my iPhone X iOS 13b1-2 the music is stuttering, with the iPhone 7 iOS 12 of my wife everything works fine obvious with the wireless dongle.

Anyone with iOS 12 wireless is having the stuttering issue?
[Android Head-Units] Bradsr12:
Hey guys, I have tried iPhone X running ios12 which works perfectly with the dongle..

I have also on my iPhone X running ios13 beta 1-2 and Apple Music is stuttering...

on that not, I have tried VOX (music app) with no stuttering....

I also tried playing through Apple Music on my Sonos speakers, they again stuttered...

It not on Apple HomePod.....

So I would have thought that it would be the ios13 beta that is causing this issue..

Hope this may help anyone...
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
What is not correct? That’s what we all say. iOS 12 works fine.

iOS 13 stutter.

I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 12 and it works well.
[Android Head-Units] Ravijordan1:
UPDATE: Ive just been on a 3hr round trip today and wireless CarPlay has worked flawlessly very happy so far with it but I found with the new update from yesterday I was having disconnections so I backdated to the 18/06 update for dongle and connecting takes less than 10 seconds now without any disconnections.

Sorry I got it wrong. We are having the same issue!
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
Yea, I’m thinking the bitrate has changed in iOS 13 or the way they encode the audio is a bit different. I sought that it’s something fundamentally different. I don’t think iOS updates will solve it, I think dongle firmware will do the job.

[Android Head-Units] jeromeof:
New to this Wireless CarPlay / Android HeadUnit discussion but very familiar with Android (and IOS)!!

So, A few questions:

1. If I were to purchases an Android 7.1+ head unit with Wifi and Bluetooth built in - do I need the separate dongle?

And If so why as surely the Wireless CarPlay is via Wifi and If I have the head unit rooted surely I can get Android simulate whatever mirroring / CarPlay functionality?

2. If I need do a dongle can someone recommend a double din Android head Unit with space at the back from the dongle and support for AutoLeads.

I have a ford Focus and the space behind my current double DIN unit is limited but I would love the wireless adapter to sit with the AutoLeads which can hopefully support my streeting wheel controls etc?

3. Wireless Charger support

A bit off topic but has anyone gotten a wireless charger pad and CarPlay integrated nicely?

Thanks in Advance

Jerome
[Android Head-Units] slunat:
1. Nope you need a dongle

2. Probably a better question to ask on ford forums to be honest

3. Wireless chargers can't transfer data so they don't work for carplay, though if you have a wireless dongle anyway then any wireless charger will do the job as it's only going to be charging the phone, the dongle will be doing all the communication with your phone wirelessly.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
So I have still not done any long journeys, but I have had several at 20 mins and had no crashes or disconnects at all, I have tried with google maps and waze, both of which have never managed a full 20 mins journey before.

So it’s looking good for me so far.
[Android Head-Units] slunat:
Ok I finally upgraded to 1806 firmware and tried iOS 13 wireless carplay. I get what you guys are saying about the audio now, I really hope they get it sorted. It works absolutely fine wired so I'm thinking it might be bandwidth related with how much data is being transferred at a time. Maybe iOS 13 carplay is a bit more demanding.

[Android Head-Units] ak0004:
That's sad. I Was hopeing to eleminate my connection problems with the external power supply ?
[Android Head-Units] techo91:
It’s always possible that your unit is not supplying a stable current. External supply is always a good idea. I will do it for sure.
[Android Head-Units] foxi1984:
How can I enable autostart for the wireless dongle? Today morning it started automatically but in the afternoon it did not. Any idea?
