Hi, great tests. What do you suggest is the best Android Adapter to bring KZbin from my mobile phone to my car display ?
@CarPlayLife2 күн бұрын
If you’re talking about from your phone, then that means that you’re talking about casting to the card display via the adapter. Sadly, I’ve never had a great experience with casting on these adapters so is something I would avoid considering and instead perhaps look at either directly using the KZbin app installed on the adapter or going the HDMI to CarPlay route.

Interesting dilemma: most GM vehicles 2021 and newer will do full screen android auto, but windowed CarPlay. What I gather from this video is that putting this device in native Android Auto mode, then using CarPlay over this connection will eliminate the windowed mode, right? Or does it switch back to native CarPlay negotiation?

No it should stay in android auto mode and use that to display its content. So in theory it should be full screen in your case 🤞🏻

Does this affect audio in any type of way compared to a wired conmection when playing music or making calls?
@CarPlayLife3 күн бұрын
It usually does because the audio signal is being sent wirelessly and is likely going through some amount of compression. So it will never be like for like compared to wired. But with that said, depending on your ear and your car system setup, you many not even notice the difference.

Ai Boxes are never as good as a dedicated wireless adapter. So you kind of have to compromise on this if you want the android app functionality for things like watching video. You can’t really improve it as it’s software layer based. I’m assuming you have set the CarPlay app as the auto boot app in settings?
@ziyads61074 күн бұрын
I was watching your review of the MMB AI box for the Mazda CX-9, and after seeing your video, I decided to buy the exact same model you reviewed. I tested it in my 2019 Mazda CX-9, and overall, it works well. However, I’ve encountered an issue with audio synchronization when watching KZbin. Specifically, the audio doesn’t seem to sync up with the video-the person on screen is talking, but there’s a slight delay in the audio that comes about a second after their mouth moves. I’ve tried using both my mobile phone and the 5G SIM card in the AI box to ensure that I have a stable connection, but unfortunately, the problem persists regardless of which method I use. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue, or do you know if this is a common problem with this box? Thank you for your help!
@CarPlayLife4 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching ☺️🙏🏻 This is a common issue I found on my own Golf system. The sync varies between car systems. The +400ms lag in my 2013 Golf 7 is +80-100ms in a VW Polo 2024. So it feels modern systems can process the audio to video much faster. I’ll go into this in a future video with my new car and how adapters perform with the updated technology in today’s cars. Search for the twitch audio sync text video and try and see how far the moving white bar is once the beep is heard. I bet it will be around +300-400ms on the right side

Other than checking for an update of the app, not really. You can see if you clear the android app cache and see if it still crashes. As it sounds like the OS is running out of resources or the app doesn’t like the actual system (compatibility).

If it has never worked, it is likely due to compatibility. BMW connections for CarPlay can be very picky. Some BMWs only connect to CarPlay wirelessly, so anything like a wired adapter will not work unless it's made for BMW and works around this compatibility issues.

@CarPlayLife One of each. I tried two dongles from Amazon. Both Lojusimeh. One has a blue/teal light and uses both AA and Carplay interfaces. But it requires us to connect to it over BT every time we want to switch. The other one uses just the Carplay interface for both the AA and Carplay streams and it switches automatically. But... It messes up the resolution of AA and stretches it weirdly. I tried changing the settings, but it didn't help. They're bothe VERY fast though. By the time I walk in and press the start button on my Kia EV6, AA is popping up on screen. I'm looking for something that will switch between our phones seamlessly. Thanks!
@CarPlayLife5 күн бұрын
Automatic switching is a unicorn with these adapters. It doesn’t exist. They rely on BT to connect and it’s just not smart enough to know who’s connecting to it unless the second device isn’t within range. The best method I’ve seen is adapters that allow auto connection to be turned off and a menu that displays previously connected devices that you would manually select to connect. Only two I’ve seen this on is kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6S2d3Z6grKpiJYsi=geQ3BkHwv8d6dTki and this one and one from cuarko but it’s only CarPlay or android auto it won’t do both. Second is an adapter that has a switch that disconnects the connected device and switches to the other. This one does that kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHato6eXbpeFjNksi=SPZ_ThX68kMzbBFM
@lukastemberger4 күн бұрын
@@CarPlayLife Thanks! It's pretty cheap, I'll try it. I don't want to be selecting from menu etc because then I might as well just open my phone's BT and reconnect.

The one I got does that, but messes up AA resolution and stretches the image unfortunately. Thank you for the recs!
