I’m driving a Kia Niro HEV 2020 and using the Cplay2air without any problrems for over 1 year. Cplay2air with the latest firmware works fine great with the Kia Niro.
Got a tip for us?

I guess if your dongle is working, don’t need to update. Cheers

I would think they'd want this to work so they can produce a port-less phone and more people would use it because they could still do CarPlay. But who knows
No, actually each iOS update made the connection more reliable. At least with my Mazda.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Weirdly, I didn’t have this problem on the 15.4 betas - only when the final release came out. Anyone found a solution to getting the hardware Home button working again?

I have a 2022 Sorento PHEV and have had both. The Carlinkit 2 is slightly faster both they’re both pretty similar.
Beware that on my Kia the CarPlay USB port stays powered on 24/7, causing my phone to stay connected to CarPlay while in the house, which causes all sorts of problems. I think it also caused my Carlinkit to fail after 4 months of use since it was on 24/7.
No kidding ! I *just* bought a Carlinkit 3.0 mini, and thought "wow, it works insanely well!"
And tonight I couldn't have my WiFi on my iPhone. I was on 5G, it would connect to CarPlay all the time even though the car is turned off in the garage.
Did you find any solution !? Honestly this is... kind of a deal breaker to manage that all the time when the goal is to simplify things. Especially if it fails after 4 months...
I installed a cord with an on/off switch. Not really a good solution but flipping a switch off is easier than plugging my phone in.
Just updated my car's head unit to a Kenwood DMX957XR. Pricey, but built-in wireless CarPlay. Super easy to connect and use.
I currently use a Binize Wireless Carplay in my RAV4...wondering if a newer model will work better. The current one takes about 30 seconds to connect and maybe 1 out of 5 times I have to turn it off and on for my phone to connect. do the newer models fare better?
When did this start to happen? is it a brand new device?
What happens when you plug it into a computer?
Have you tried it with another car?
Try give the latest carlinkit firmware a try. Can be installed via a computer.
The device is not new, it belongs to a friend
When I connect to the computer, nothing happens, only the red light comes on, the computer does not recognize it.
Have you tried it with another car? yes
I tryto give the latest carlinkit firmware ,i connect the USB after I plugged in the charger the carlinkit and the red light is on nothing happens
I use the carlinkit 2 in my 2020 Rav4 and about that frequently it won't start up and I have to unplug/replug to get it to work. I actually bought a switched USB cable to make it easier. Thing is before I got this I had the same issue with wired carplay, so it's the car, not the device.
