@TireGuy6 Nice work on your interface... I went a different route and matched my infotainment systems interface (font, layout, colors) -- it's very minimal and seamless. Since I have background mode enabled, I only see this screen if my phone is not with me or there is some network issue.
Got a tip for us?

Same behavior as on my model.
Honestly I don’t know the concrete way that just worked for me. I think it was with cable connected iPhone. Additionally I deleted the Carlinkit from my phone.
My seller answered and wanted me to wait until tomorrow. He will come up with a solution. Will let you guys know.

Someone needs to create a document (such as a Google Spreadsheet) where people can report known their car model, Software Version and Firmware Version of their Dongle.
This will help everyone

Excellent suggestion - try this link and see if it works: CarPlay Wireless Adapter Issue Log

CarPlay Wireless Adapter Issue Log
Update: added a warning / disclaimer at the top of the document.
Mine finally replied it sounds like they want my order number to do a replacement, but they only offer a year warranty (which mine is over) and it costs $60 to ship it back to them anyway. Basically their crappy upgrade process broke the device and now I have to pay to replace it.
what’s the cheapest replacement version out there? I’m not buying the carplay2air version this time.
last one was on amazon for $30 ( no name on it ) most stable start of the last 3 I got ...

This worked for me! First time user. Got a Mazda CX-5 2019 model. The March update is working perfectly. Thank you to everyone in this thread!At the time I found this, it is only $29. I am not in any way associated with the seller.

Hello Everyone,
I purchased new Joyeauto MMB Wireless Carplay Adapter Plus for my 2018 Honda Accord Touring.
Complelty satisfied with this adapter and it's really stable than Carlinkit CPC200-U2W-PLUS.
No more rebooting, black screen and audio shattering.
It has USB Media file playing and Phone mirror functions which are really great.
It came with the latest firmware installed and the firmware files are huge (over 400 MB) compared to Carlinkit CPC200-U2W-Plus

Unfortunately that one appears out of stock, hope they get it back in. I'd go in for a $30 replacement. These $100+ ones are scam artists for any kind of product support.
Hello! I have a problem..
I used CPC200-U2W-Plus well (maybe 2020.11.XX version..).
I tried to update firmware through OTA about 2 weeks ago (can't remember target firmware version).
I saw successful upgrade message and waited for the device to reboot automatically but, device show error message "hardware error: wifi" like picture.
I'm trying rollback or upgrade through offline with various firmware version. But device don't show red-green blinking after connect firmware USB, always red light. (I used wall plug with 5W adaptor of iPhone)
Can someone please help me..
thank you.

Update: Used the dongle over the weekend. Mic is working great! In phone calls, they can hear me well. However, the stability has been worse than before. The december 10 update never crashed for me, March 6 crashes randomly during a call, using spotify, just showing the home screen. This will hopefully be fixed in the next
At least two other users here have reported the same problem and another on this page has reported instability, all from the same firmware. I have created an Issue Log (link in my signature) if you would like to add your details - the objective is for information sharing and comparison only. Personally I have had no problems, but am happy to host the Issue Log in case sharing experiences can help someone to figure out a solution.
Welcome to the it’s broken and they won’t help you club. If you fix it, let me know how.
I might have misunderstood your post but I got a feeling that you are making it way too complicated than it has to be by using Rufus. What matters is the USB drive you use has to be in FAT32. The firmware file is just a copy and paste (or drag and drop) from your PC drive to the USB drive. Make sure the firmware file on the USB drive is U2W_Update.img
Power up your CarLink with a wall charger. Wait for the red light to come up. Insert the USB drive you just made to the CarLink. The LED should flick red and green.
Good luck!
What’s complicated about Rufus? It’s just a program that formats the stick into a fat32 file system.
I tried windows default format too, no dice.
Or put another way....
The $100 ones actually took the time to invent and build the device.
And create new firmware about once a month.
Instead of just ripping off someone else's design and still not providing any support.
