can't say im a fan. just got my unit in and it really does suck for andriod auto. i have a spare iphone and that connected no problem but i had issues connecting to my phone's hotspot so i could just leave the iphone in the car. the other major issue with this unit is instead of being able to navigate normally like 1 to 1 on the screen with the joystick pretty much registers right or left movements. up and down will register as a right or left and no predicting where you'll land. I wonder if i just have an old firmware version or what. wireless android auto doesn't work, can only get it to connect when wired. I also couldn't figure out where to put it so its currently cluttering mt glovebox with the wires coming out the bottom left corner
That is unfortunate to hear... I have a 2013 and an Android phone, so I was hoping this would work out.
Did you get the latest firmware updates from the company?

if you are looking to sell it. I’ll be willing to buy it off you
Then, while on a call with someone, increase the "Microphone Delay" one step at a time until the echo is eliminated. I landed on a "Microphone Delay" of 5.
Last time I did it, I was not asked for a password. I will probably update mine tomorrow.
Hi. First of all thank you all for sharing experience. I just installed carlinkit in mine rx350 2016.
I downloaded your update firmware and now it’s asking for passcode as well. Please, find out from your contact, when you’ll have time.

thanks for this. How you guys getting into the menu without CarPlay taking over?
1. Format the USB stick to FAT32 ( Must be FAT32, not FAT or other formats )
2. Put the ISPBOOOT.BIN in attachment into USB disk root directory (do not copy folder into USB stick, just the file )
3. Insert the USB stick into the USB port of our product, not the car original USB port.
4. Enter the CarPlay system setting, select "system update" first and next step select "upgrade"
5. After the update of the system, then update the MCU. Delete the ISPBOOOT.BIN in the USB stick first.
6. Put the upgrade.bin in attachment into USB stick root directory (do not copy folder into USB stick, just the file )
3. Insert the USB stick into the USB port of our product, not the car original USB port.
4. Enter the CarPlay system setting, select "MCU update" first and next step select "upgrade"
Notice: Please do not turn off the power when upgrading.
And it will restart automatically after the upgrade. And then you can removed the USB stick.
When you copy the files into the USB stick, if the file names has automatically add a symbol "_" at the end, please delete the "_" first, thanks!
Can you reattach the first file for us? are you not having any issues using the joystick as a dial?

I've decided to ship my Carlinkit back for a refund. They continue to say that it will work with the 2015 split screen. Even with the updates and troubleshooting with them for weeks, it just isn't working. I'm bummed because it was so close to being a great solution. Hopefully they will continue improving it.
hello guys like 6 days ago, i purchased the Carlinkit from aliexpress and finished installing Carlinkit for my 2019 lexus GS 350 (apple carplay) before i organize the wires and put back the cover, i tested if everything works properly but joystick control is really hard to control (it seems like most of you guys having the same issue)
but i dont think anyone is having a OEM back up camera issue. my OEM back up camera doesnt show while im using the apple carplay (i have the dip switch setting to 2,3,5 and also tried 2,4,5 "not working)
if i unplug the kit and replace with OEM wire, back up camera works. is there a option that i need to change to make my back up camera to work properly?
i also asked china for an answer and waiting for reply
please let me know if anyone can help me out on this
