Don’t pay it. Tell them it is a known issue (and safety issue) and requires a software update. There should be a service bulletin on file and they should do it for free. If they are no help, call Honda corporate. A lot of dealerships are not very smart with these things. My dealership knew...

I love wireless charging. The only time I ever plug my phone in to a wire is with CarPlay. My battery never goes below 90% because I always have it sitting on a wireless charger. I ordered the dongle and I am happy i did. There are times I jump in my car and go 5 minutes down the road...

Thanks for letting me know. I just purchased the most expensive carlink Dongle because I don’t want to load the APK File in my radio. They tell me it will come with the new software update and it works much better. Even if it has a few issues I won’t mind. I like using the wired version for...

I just bought the most expensive dongle so I don't have to install the APK file. It was now reduced to $140 on Amazon. It may take a month to get here because it looks like it is coming from China. I will give it a try. Do you think it will work? Did they ever release the software update?

Someone posted a screen shot on amazon. See attached. Another person said they just released a software update to the dongle that will fix the music skipping. I sent the seller an email and I may buy it. I have been saying for 4+ years they need to come out with a dongle. It is really sad...

Thanks for the information. I may buy it and if I have problems I will let you know. The steering wheel control is not an issue. I never switch songs with it.

Someone else posted they got the 178 dollar dongle to work. It was a plug and play. No need to download and install the APK file.

So you just plug it in and it works? Where do you select mode 3? On the car radio?

Where did you get it from? And keep us updated on how well it works.

I look forward to your review! Looking for something simple that I can just plug in and work without having to install an APK. I have been saying for years that a wireless CarPlay aftermarket dongle should be invented. Glad to see people are starting to come out with them.

I am not worried about the phone battery drain. If you are taking a long road trip, just plug the phone in. If you are driving to the corner, leave your phone in your pocket. I have a 15 minute commute to work. I have wireless chargers at home and on my desk at work. My phone never gets...

The seller of this product on Amazon just said that if you can install the APK on your radio, the dongle will work. If anyone follows the instructions posted on Amazon and installs the APK, let us know.

I didn't mean to make you the guinea pig. But thank you! I would buy it but just worried about downloading the apk. I doubt it will mess up the radio but you never know. If this guy is coming out with a dongle, you can bet others will too. A lot of people will buy it and I think there is a...

I found something on Amazon. You just use their dongle and download an APK file to your car. It says it will only work on android based systems (the civic is android based). I have been waiting for something like this to come out. Has anyone done this? Is this for real...

The dealership refused to update my 2017 Civic EX-L sedan with 1.F197.00. They said that version is only for the hatchback model and it is not for my car. I told them others with the same car have been updated. They said they will get in trouble if they even try.

This is what I am running in my 2017. Is there a new version?

I have a 2017 sedan. I just checked and I am currently running 1.F194.30 Is this correct? I tried to bring it to the dealership over the summer because there was a new update but they claim it wasn't for my particular vin.

What is the current software version for a 2017 Civic?

I sprayed some CR 26 on the seatbelt bolt a year ago. Haven’t heard the noise since. It has been hot all summer and today is the first day of cold. We will see what happens.

My car was at the dealership last week and I asked them to update the firmware of the radio. They didn't do it. I bring it back in today and asked them to do it. They refused! They pull out the service bulletin and said it didn't apply to my Vin number which is garbage. The last firmware...
