Completely agree.

Not sure if it’s an iOS13 thing, but I am currently using an iPhone X on iOS12.3.1 and my CarPlay calls have been pretty clear (no complaints from any of my callers)

Do you have an iOS device running iOS12.X.X that you can test out?

One question to ask, may not be related to the box, whenever I brake and stop, the camera appears and it disappears once starting driving. It wasn't like this a couple of weeks ago. Is there a setting to disable this so it will not appear when I stop the car during driving? Please see the attached photo.

Thanks!

I have the same issue. It is a little annoying. If the pointer goes on the android/CarPlay section, it starts beeping. (The same beep when you move to the different icons on the Lexus infotainment

I attached the video here.

Also, there is always a delay between audio and video in Youtube, facetime, etc.

Thanks but disabling the "Auto" is not a solution, it is just hiding the problem. I am sure Cosmo is following this. Please update the software to solve this issue.

Just tap the off hook button on the steering wheel and it makes the camera disappear.

I think jjj666 is only talking about the automatic camera at low speed. But I have the same issue as yours. When wireless Carplay is connected, if the surround view camera is on, the mouse starts to autonomously move on the surround view screen. That's quite annoying.

This issue only happens when the autoplay software is on and Carplay is connected wirelessly. Open a navigation software in Carplay seems sometimes temporarily fix the mouse jumping issue.

I faced a new problem today. Cosmo asked me to update the box's software, however, I updated the cursor app by mistake and now my cursor (that little orange dot) is invisible. It seems that the cursor exists but it is just invisible because I could choose the icons by estimating the location of the cursor. It is a pain though. Anyone had the same issue? Any solution? Below is where I updated the cursor app. A BIG MISTAKE

I had the same problem. Restarting the box (unplug and replug the power cable) solved the problem.
