Bought one for my 2022 Mazda CX5 GT Sport. It is awesome. To bad Mazda left out wireless Apple CarPlay. Highly recommend this dongle. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thanks Carlink.
I bought this "newer" 3.0 version 2 weeks ago for my (Subaru Outback 2022) and have had very inconsistent results. Mine can take more than 40 seconds to connect and another 10s to start running my IOS "Carplay" automations, which also don't always work. I updated the device firmware which only introduced new issues, like intermittent connections, so I downgraded frimware. I may just send this one back. I could probably play with time delays and various other settings to make it work a little better but I *REALLY* just wanted something that just works out of the box! Paying $100 to collect logs & beta test this device to help tech work out the kinks... umm, not for me. Not for the money I paid. Though, if I do keep it and/or exchange for the 4.0, I will do so only to do a full in depth review on this with different head units. It seems they need to do some work on that WIFI chip though.
Nice set up video, but what about a review? Does it disconnect randomly? Do you have to have your phone near the dongle or can you keep it in your pocket? Does it matter what pocket you keep your phone in?
I bought the same one and I’m waiting on it now. I’m testing the SuperiorTek 5.0 model now and it’s very fast. The biggest catch is that it needs wifi and Bluetooth. This can be expensive
Great video! Looking to get one for my Ram. Hey just fyi you don’t have to hold the start button to turn on the car. Just press the brake and press the start but for 1 second and release :) no need to hold it.
Yeah? What do you mean by carplay device? There is no carplay device. Carplay is an app supported by Apple iPhone. iPhone has a feature apple carplay. Again , this is only for the cars which supports apple carplay. When the car model support apple car play, can be contacted via aux car USB port, but in that case, lots of people who wants wirelessly connect apple carplay from their phone. Because lots of wireless car charging heads doesn't support apple carplay, only when USB cable connected. Make sense? If you want apple carplay in your car, change the whole entertainment unit which supports apple carplay OR change a new car!
Am i able to wirelessly connect my iPhone to this for maps & what not, but still be able to directly plug in the aux to my lightening port on my iPhone for bit perfect audio playback right to aux? Rather than using the DAC built into this portable unit
You need to review when the car drive and signal right for cars with cameras right signal. also review when car turned off and turned back on, will it shuts off and will it turned back on, or you need to reconnect the device again? It a pain…so I think you should do another video for that. “device in motion”
I have 2012 Mercedes Benz s550 and I'm trying to connect my android phone so I can listen to music will this work for me or car you suggest me something decadent please ?
I have a question does my car have to be made with Apple car manufacturer inside the car to use this or do this part work if the car didn’t come with it
If you dont carplay what are other alternatives can we use ? Besides opening your radio and add car play!! Is it something wireless that we can get CarPlay or phone mirroring?
I got a question, I got a 2022 Hyundai Elantra N, it has wired Android and apple car play!! I have a Samsung! If I use this will it work? As in will I be able to use Android Auto wireless??
I got one from Amazon and having issues with it. I want to use it with my 2018 Honda Gold Wing motorcycle with CarPlay. Finally got it paired with my iPhone 8+ cell phone and working on my Gold Wing. But it does not automatically start back up again after a power cycle on the motorcycle. Wish I could figure it out.
Hello . Thanks for your great videos . I have a Carlin kit 4.0 installed . Its working great so far . The only issue I’m having is that it says it will disconnect me from Carlin CarPlay if I join my car’s WiFi hotspot? Is there a way around this ? Thanks v much again
Nope! WIFI connection is required to the device as the device only uses Bluetooth for the initial connection to your car. Basically if you disconnect or change the WIFI network, you're disconnecting from Carplay / Carlink.
Hello, I have tried setting this up in a 2019 Lexus RX 350 it doesn’t work, I tried in a 2019 Toyota Corolla as well and it didn’t work. Any help will be greatly appreciated
If I have a unit that has apple carplay, and it works but sometimes the connection is laggy or the audio skips, music and map say the same time doesn’t work too well. Will a dongle like this help that connection be better?
Unit sometimes causes my 2020 Hyundai SantaFe Limited navigation/radio head to crash on startup. Message on radio says “starting recovery” and after 15 seconds it begins to boot up. This happens every 4th or fifth startup. My Carlinkit is 3.0 with the latest software installed. Car did this before latest update as well. I may return it since it is still in the Amazon return window. Any ideas?
You need to have a unit that is CarPlay ready. If you do not have CarPlay already it won’t work. This is just for people who want to wirelessly connect the CarPlay instead of having to plug something in
MJTech will this work, if the car doesn't have car play? But car has navigation and USB port just doesn't have wired or wireless carplay. If anyone knows thank you.
Relatively sophisticated user. Honda Passport 2019. The 3.0 unit wont reliably auto connect. Have tried resetting to factory settings, forgetting and repairing bluetooth, forgetting and re setting wireless making sure I am on latest build. It will hang at connecting screen (bluetooth shows conned and wireless shows connected. If I unplug and replug it will often start up. It will then work for the day even when shut down for a few hours and then not start up the following day. Out of ideas. Any help appreciated
hi , please help me how to make it start fast , i bought the car and installed it already , every time i unlock the car it takes a few minutes to get to the main screen , i don't know what to do why, I don't have CarPlay, even though there are two usb cords in the drawer, but I plug my iPhone in and it doesn't see the message, please guide me, thanks a lot
Did you install the apk app on the factory? because it is one of the requirements to connect this dongol. If not, Is it applicable to old Lexus GS models (2007)?
hi i have ford fusion this model have sync2 monitor can i use this for get carplay ? or not i dont get it clear monitor have usb wirless etc but dont have carplay and if i put this in car and connect i can use for carplay or not ?
Hola tengo un par de dudas, tengo un kia cee'd del 2016 con navegador de fabrica pero no tiene android auto, y quería saber si este aparato me serviría o no funcionaría, y que aparato me recomendáis que funcione sin problemas y que sirva tanto para Android como para iPhone, gracias
Do you experience any screen tearing when using Apple map and listening to music? I got the mini 3.0 today and the screen tearing is pretty noticeable. It will be normal again if I switch to my cars own menu and back to CarPlay
Read your video description. So if the radio isn't factory it most likely won't work? Anybody in the comments that has tried this with aftermarket OE-STYLE (clone) radios, any help would be much appreciated

I think I'll pass since I have the 2021 Legacy. I love it. Don't like the usb cable deal but it does work decent.
Lmao y'all crazy for paying $100. This shit is $27 on AliExpress.

Have you tried with Honda’s?
Wow great Korean technology
27 vs 30-35 seconds...it's like nothing.
