Is that the Lsalit system? Those menus look nothing like my menus
yes. I was thinking the same because looking thru this thread and the one in the 4RX forum I don’t have some of the same options/menus I see guys have. I ordered my systems couple weeks ago so not sure if Lsailt is using something different. I do know I don’t have the carplay dongle to use wireless. I assume the unit I have has wireless built in somehow. Maybe David system is similar to what I have.
Well, not sure on the RX side. If your using an iPhone, then one of the other guys could help, I am an Android user. So my experience is based off that.
The Navihome is the built in Android OS, don't connect to it, in your phone you should be able to block it so it does not ask to connect. UNLESS you have plans on using the Android OS (not Apple carplay or Android auto). This needs a speaker and it's own GPS antenna (this is included in the box if you wanted to use them). Using an iPhone, you would want a bluetooth connection to carplay, not the built in one, that does nothing for carplay. NaviHome is blocked from Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth connection to carplay??? Wirelessly I’ve been connecting to carplay via WiFi. However I did have NaviHome connected via Bluetooth as well but no longer based on what I’ve seen you and others on the 4RX forum suggest.
If your still connected to the car, you need to on your phone and change the profiles that the car has access to (this is when it asks if it access your address book, etc). You just want to use the car as a "headset" (it's a Bluetooth profile). Steve might be able to help more on the iPhone side if it. Done.
Android Auto does not support (let me correct myself), Android Auto does support wireless BUT, this device does not, as of right now (I have been talking to Cosmo, they are currently in testing with it but, I will have to buy more hardware). Where can we look to see if there is an update available? Our system isn’t like Steve’s and apparently others I’ve seen on this and 4RX carplay thread.
So in my case. I have Bluetooth headset profile to my car, on my Lsailt kit, I am hardwired with a USB cable to use it, no Bluetooth connections to the Lsailt kit. As of now in my LS, I have a solid wired carplay connection but I prefer to go wireless. I don’t like the idea of my phone constantly charging when I plug in for carplay. On my wife’s (RX) carplay she connects via wireless but it has been losing connection since day 1. I haven’t shown her where the USB plugs are location where she can hardwire her carplay connection.
It is completely different than mine... even the manufacturer on the image that show, is not even the same company. Maybe it is after a system update ? I'll try that on mine today but, I don't think it's the same device. It does seem to work the same way.

Maybe I am not correct here, According reading in the past on the iPhone side of it (AGAIN, I don't have an iPhone). You get the first connection to the system via Bluetooth then Wi-FI. This is a not something I can 100% said for sure as I don't have an iPhone

Your system looks nothing like mine, did you get it from the same dealer or link we have ?
So in my case. I have Bluetooth headset profile to my car, on my Lsailt kit, I am hardwired with a USB cable to use it, no Bluetooth connections to the Lsailt kit.

I wired mine into the center console (look at the images I did back in this thread), I always had a charging cable just coming out of the center console, now it's just plugged into the kit so I can wire it.
This is up to you on how you want to wire it, I even used the A/V jacks on this. Look what I did on my kit....(One of my big hobbies is collecting and playing modern and classic video games)

This is a not something I can 100% said for sure as I don't have an iPhone That’s what I’m confused on how to make a bluetooth connection to carplay. Steve can you help here on the iPhone side?.

You just want to use the car as a "headset" (it's a Bluetooth profile). Steve might be able to help more on the iPhone side if it. I erased and reconnected to the car’s Bluetooth and I chose don’t allow address book, contacts etc. So I believe I’m connected as “headset” only.

Your system looks nothing like mine, did you get it from the same dealer or link we have ? Yes I ordered from Lsailt from AliExpress. I want to say I used a link someone posted to this thread or another carplay thread. I’ve been in contact with David from Lsailt about the issues. You guys here just seem to have a faster response time which I’m very grateful for.
So in my case. I have Bluetooth headset profile to my car, on my Lsailt kit, I am hardwired with a USB cable to use it, no Bluetooth connections to the Lsailt kit. I wired mine into the center console (look at the images I did back in this thread), I always had a charging cable just coming out of the center console, now it's just plugged into the kit so I can wire it. So you ran one of the 3 USBs from the kit into the factory USB connection in the center console? I want to do that to my car and my wife’s RX if that’s possible.
This is up to you on how you want to wire it, I even used the A/V jacks on this. Look what I did on my kit....(One of my big hobbies is collecting and playing modern and classic video games) that is pretty sweet
In my wife RX (she has the same system I have) I did what you guys suggested and connected using Lexus RX as a headset only. However when she answers the phone, it connects to a “local host” instead of her car’s native Lexus RX Bluetooth. So each time, on her iPhone she has to change it over to Lexus RX. When it answers connected to the local host she can’t hear anything on the call but the caller on the other end can hear her.
I will pose this question on the 4RX carplay thread as well. I reached out to Lsailt. It shows my query has been assigned to Cosmo Xiong. Sometimes I’ve gotten a few responses from David Jia
So David from Cosmo (Lsailt) sent this YouTube link to me. This is a demonstration of the system I have from Lsailt. It’s a video on how to connect wirelessly.
Was talking to Cosmo... He has Android 9 upgrade for my system(I am on 7.1 now), My model is LLTLKS-VER7.4.5H. He sent a video and you need to put in a MicroSD in to upgrade it(so much for the 2nd USB I put in the center console !).
Waiting for the download to upgrade my system. He did say it will get faster but, no change for Android Auto or Apple Car play.
I have been following tis thread. Thanks to you all for sharing your experience with this. I am planning on getting this or a similar unit as well.
I have seen similar units from different Vendors on AliExpress at lower cost but no sure about them.
Have you all received the latest updates to your units? Looking for updates feedback on your experiences.
