Where did you get that update?

192.168.50.2 - hit "check" and it was there - about 5 mins ago. This is on a Carlinkit U2W - though I'm sure it's the same as a Carplay2air.

Tried the “test” update. No more demo at least. But Jeep connecting screen still sits there and fails. I’ve asked repeatedly to send me old version and they keep beating around the bush. Now I asked for a replacement dongle with the old version I’m going in circles. So glad i disputed and put a charge back on my CC!

When you get "Connecting..." have you tried manually connecting to the adaptors wifi network from your phone? I've done this a few times, and it's what it's waiting for - so seems to help.

I have. No luck. As mentioned it just worked in mode 3 in the latest version

That’s where it gets stuck. But the phone thinks it is connected to carplay cause sound comes through the car. Maps apps load as they would like CarPlay etc...just can’t see the CarPlay screen

OK, so I've been and checked mine. Now it has upgraded (downgraded?) from 2019.12.19.1832 to 2019.12.10.1831. Now it says it is up to date.

The only difference between the 2 I could see is on 1832 the music shows "whats playing" in the left apple map shared music/map screen, but it doesn't in 1831. (Claims no music is playing...but it is)

Wireless CarPlay would be a godsend.

However, can someone comment on the security of using such a device? It appears to have the ability to connect to the internet through your phone, and I have concerns about potential vulnerabilities, for example if such a device is capable of accessing your data. I am hoping someone who is familiar with how it works (CarPlay implementation, etc.) can tell us if it is safe to use.

I think its perfectly secure....

Bear in mind that on an iPhone it pops up "Allow x to access your contacts, Allow x to use your Bluetooth, Allow x to [Insert private feature here]"

None of this happens with the dongle save for pairing with the bluetooth initially and this is exactly how it works with "normal" wireless carplay....e.g a BMW.

If it was android however..................(Prepares to be beat up by Android users.....)

Massive email from Michael...but includes this....@mikejd1

The screen is stuck on "connecting"
This issue is affecting some Ford and Jeep brand owners. The issue was resolved just now, please follow the instructions on how to update it online to the public version.

I highly doubt it is fixed. I updated the unit about 2 hours ago and it did not fix. Unless now all of a sudden a new update is here. I’ll check soon. If someone else with Jeep and ford do it before me check back in please

Since I can't get it to even show a "connecting" message on my Jeep, I will try updating on a friends car and give it a try later today.
 
As expected. I just tried everything. Jeep is NOT fixed. Still fails showing CarPlay screen.

Yup. Same. Phone does think CarPlay is connected but fails to display CarPlay interface on the screen

When its stuck at the screen, have you tried turning the infotainment off and back on again whilst leaving the dongle connected? As I mentioned before it worked on a Seat Leon, but worth a try perhaps?
 
I tried to update carplay2air this morning. But the update fails at 80%.
Now I see this screen in my Audi display.
Does anybody have a solution please?

...if you shut everything down / unplug the adaptor and plug it in again, close the browser window on your phone - and then start it all up again, open the browser and go to 192.168.50.2 - what do you get?

I still find the update available, but if I retry to update I have the same error at 80/90%

very odd - mine's in a B9 Audi S4 with MMI and it updated fine. Stalled for a while around 80-90% but then went to 100% and completed fine.
 
hello

this morning I had to activate from 192.168.50.2 my adapter again, successfully!

at noon update was released, no issue with download and activation. "over the air" great job!

but my phone could not connect to the KIA-Wifi / Bluetooth correctly :-( damm

but tried following solution, renamed my iphone like "iP7+" to "iP7", now the iphone connected like hell....

will try to contact the developer how to delete old settings from the adapter box....

Sounds like the same as mitsubishi. Have you got any other car with carplay you can try it in?

I got rid of my Jag for a volvo....infotainment so much better..
 
No update showing on my end. Possible they pulled it?

Still hoping someone can point me in the right direction for the Carlinkit U2W version at a decent price.
