The only thing I do not have is the Lexion USB in the center console area. I open my glove compartment when using Lexion wired connection. I'm the only one using the car most of the time, so it's
not a big deal. I may pay the shop that installed it to route it in the front at some point. Not a big deal, but it would be nice. I'm not handy with installation, so won't attempt it on my own.

If you guys are experiencing the same then at least I know it’s not something isolated with my unit. I’ll have to see if it comes back mid-drive next time it happens. Does appear random.
Haven’t experienced zlink not connecting or taking a while yet. I’m very happy with how fast the system starts up from engine on to CarPlay connected.
Definitely not a deal breaker as the touchscreen functions fine and I’m using my phone anyway stream radio and google maps so all functions are accessible by other means for those times where the jog wheel doesn’t work on startup.
I have about a 13 hour drive to make in my very near future so having this screen is major.

Anybody hear of the Nifty City CarPlay unit? Any reviews would be appreciated.

Plus, it says there's an option to upgrade to wireless at the checkout process. Wireless isn't standard? I want wired and wireless.

Thanks!
Quick update - the jog wheel intermittently not working was bothering me, and Reyn posted on this thread to email him regarding the issue, so I did. He has been very responsive in trying to help fix the issue so thank you to Reyn!
. After providing him the info/pics/video he requested, he provided a CAN update file. I updated the unit Tuesday and am in testing to see if this issue is resolved. I have done limited testing so far but since updating it, the wheel has worked every time but it has only been 3 or 4 tests. I have not done enough testing to call it fixed yet but it is promising so far. I would say the frequency of the issue happening prior to the CAN update was 1 every 5 starts, and when it does not work, it does not work the entire time the system is on - dojoman and Jazzrock mentioned when theirs did not work on startup, it eventually came back after some time, which for me has not happened. The only way to get it working again was to turn it off and back on again.
I will keep testing and will report back. I do most of my driving on the weekends so this weekend should be a good test if the issue does not happen before then. If it works every time or is much less frequent, I suggest you reach out to Reyn - sale02@binarytek.cn - and provide him the info needed so he can help resolve. I can attach the CAN update he provided me and how to update but would just need to confirm that my system/setup is the same as whatever you have.

Now I have to figure out how to get the zlink to reconnect in the very few times where it has got stuck in waiting on autoconnect (not a big deal at all as it’s been rare so far) and how to get the system to read the mp3 tags on my dinosaur iPod instead of the file system names, since the file system has random letters assigned to the folders and files and I have no idea what music is what.

I am very happy to report that since updating the CAN software I have had a 100% success rate with the jog wheel working! I highly recommend reaching out to Reyn should you be experiencing this issue as frequently as I was. He was very responsive and helpful, can’t thank him enough.

This happens to me many times and it happened only in specific scenario for me. So if I turned off my car and restarted in short period maybe like 5-10 min it won't reconnect, just like you saw just waiting to autoconnect. The only way I can force it to reconnect is by going into iPhone BT and manually connect to Lexion BT. I don't think it's iOS related since I've already tried everything, reset network connection, even started fresh on iOS by resetting the phone completely. There's a bug in Lexion for sure.

Hmm this happened to me again after the cr being off a few hours between starts, and no matter what I try I cannot get it to reconnect. Tried the above 2 solutions, and several other combos of turning off and turning back on settings in the zlink app settings and the zlink settings in the main screen settings. Wouldn’t care this happens if I had a quick way to reconnect but for whatever reason for me, there doesn’t seem to be a way other than powering the screen off and back on, at least not one I’ve been able to find yet.
If I can find a way or a newer zlink apk or something and have success, I’ll post back. Any other suggestions are welcome!

(I had some intermittent disconnect and failed to reconnect issues before while I was wearing the Huawei Smartwatch,
as soon as I switched to another watch, these problems are completely solved.)
