Can someone post a link to the carlinkit? I tried to google it, but only came across this: https://carlinkitcarplay.com/ which is for systems that already have carplay on it. I tried to go through the posts but there have been so many links over the past couple of years and a lot of the ebay links are no longer available. Btw, I am running a 2015 F-Sport. Are there still any outstanding issues? I am not looking to upgrade to the 2016+ screen.

I think 2015 have issues with the display not being fullscreen? Check this thread from the top and you can find out...

Hi @byungkuk. Were you able to resolve your issue? I am having the exact same issue with unit. I cannot answer calls through Carplay using my factory **** button.

For anyone experiencing this issue with the **** style radio, you need to connect the screen power cable (labeled as old car).

Also, if you don’t have sound coming from Carplay you will need to connect Audio-GND coming from the main harness. You can either use the GND cable from the usb/video harness or ground directly to the chassis.

From what I know, the little car diagram only shows up when you're closing in on an object. In your photo it seems like you are still too far from an object for the car to show up.

I've been having connection issues for a while.. and changing the wifi channel to <6> made it tolerable but once I went to using it in wired mode - i've had zero issues. Everything is snappy and connection has been understandably solid.

Now I think the issue is with the antenna. I stuck it to the top of the oem radio unit and that's probably the culprit (metal on metal). I've also thought about upgrading the antenna to a higher powered one as well (people using GROM have done this). For the antenna, where have you guys placed it? Maybe if I can just move it to somewhere else - it might help with the issue..?

I was having intermittent wi-fi connection issue with my iPhone XR. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 13 and wi-fi has been solid.
