CarPlay CarPlay adapter to convert to wireless CarPlay?

I bought one for my Hyundai Kona. It came pre installed with the 2.0 firmware but just can’t get it to work.
The wifi connection that it creates will last no longer than 10 seconds before it disappears so I’ve only been able to access the 192.168.50.2 page once for a very brief second, so there’s no hope for me to update OTA. I think mine is actually faulty?

I did get a response 2 days ago I did get a address to return it to. But they also wanted me too keep trying ads they have new firmware every day.
Well I am returning it as I requested and answer to a question on them extending the return. But they asked me to cancel my dispute for that.
I am mailing it back in the ,morning and then forwarding that email with tracking # of the return to the credit card company. I would rather keep connecting my phone when I want to use CarPlay than keep messing with this adapter. It is just not worth it.
Guessing by your username you have a Volvo. I do too and I stream Apple Music every single day. Give me more info and I’ll try to help as best I can
Two SPA Volvos, actually. Apple Music has always streamed just fine when an iPhone is connected via a Lightning cable directly to the USB port. But when the phone is connected to the dongle via wi-fi, the Apple Music titles and artwork are displayed in the Library on Sensus but they are grayed out and can't be selected. I must be overlooking some setting on the iPhone. 😕

Works well in my XC60
I have had an email stating that they will accept the return of the dongle but I have to pay shipping and forfit a $25 restocking fee. That is not happening, I have replied stating that I was promised a refund in FULL if the device was not compatible with the Jaguar. Let's see what the response is. I can just about maybe handle the shipping cost although I have no idea how much that will be.
Michael is back. He responded to my Jeep video email isolating the cause of the problem. Crossing fingers now

Just open a dispute on your CC. Much easier that way.

Jerry - I just received a similar email from Michael and sent a reply similar to yours, saying I should not have a $25 fee and they should reimburse me for shipping costs, given that they lied about the device working in my car.
Doesn’t really matter. Just don’t tell them you’re doing that that’s all.
I was told the same thing. But they did reply to me with a return address and mine is on the way back. They also replied to the tracking info I provided.
But I had a dispute with the bank going on.
What did you do with the dongle once the card company gave you the money back? Did you send it back?
If you have done the USB method update all the others are done over the air by logging on when its in your car and active.
As you have now done the update run it again it may update to a further build. I seem to update daily now.
