no worries, happy to help!

They will send you the firmware which comes as an .img file, and you have to put that on a thumb drive formatted to FAT-32 with nothing else on it. then that plugs directly into the dongle itself. having it hooked up to the head unit display makes it easier because it will tell you when the...

so there should now be the option to select CarPlay where the smartphone connection option is when nothing is plugged in, once you select that (before you connect your phone to the dongle) a black screen with Chinese writing will come up. The mode selector is on the upper right corner of that...

So I bought the $180 wireless activation version. the more I use it the less impressed I am with how finicky it is. Just ordered the one that requires the APK to see how that goes.

For sure, I still do. I think these things can be ironed out in software, and this is only the second version of firmware available. So with any luck and some patience I think it will get way better, especially with how responsive the manufacture is.

I am running the newer version of the firmware (firmware version is at the bottom right of that screen (newest is 2019.9.23.1727COP) and can confirm that it still skips in my car, although its not bad or frequent enough to bother me really. Literally like a fraction of a second and its barely...

They just got back to me, they will issue a fix in the next firmware upgrade. So that problem should be temporary anyway.

Same here, I'm talking with the manufacturer about it now, hopefully I can get it solved. I use them sometimes but not often enough for it to bother me too much. Sounds good, hope it works out well for you!

Howdy! I'm the guy that got it to work. where are you getting stuck?

For the most part yes. once you plug it in and give it a second to register, the smartphone connection icon on the infotainment screen will switch over to a CarPlay icon, and if you select it there is a loading screen with Chinese (I think its Chinese anyway) text that pops up and in the upper...

Amazon (this is the same link rplush posed in early September). It's the $178 version. and will keep you updated for sure! There is also a $60 coupon the Honey browser extension found so if you plan on buying one make sure you install that first!

Got it working without the firmware update, Theres a boot up screen that had a "mode:1" option in the top right corner of the screen when you first start it up. I didn't realize that was a button you could cycle. once I got it set to mode:3 it works. no apk or anything needed. after its set up...

yeah, well it is what it is. fingers crossed that after I get a firmware update it ends up working.

When I purchased it it had Honda listed in one of the pictures. They changed the post after I ordered it unfortunately.

Not OP, but I also purchased the $180 version of this adapter to see if it works. It came in today, and unfortunately it does not work with my car. The seller did warn me it might not connect, but did say that firmware updates are coming and may resolve this issue. Looks like they released new...
