HOW TO INSTALL APPLE CARPLAY(ANDROID AUTO) ON YOUR ANDROID HEAD UNIT

[@BrandonStellmach]

Check out my video on how to install WIRELESS CARPLAY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfVhH-CgJl3f6c

[@cigarrett]

Automatic start doesn’t seem to be working for me, which is somewhat annoying, but otherwise it works great. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have heard many people complain that it doesn’t work, it must be a problem with one of the updates!

[@thecodye]

Yes! Thanks for sharing. Just bought the dongle and installed. I am so happy to finally, after years, have apple carplay! I am going to follow your other video and add the wireless carplay soon. Many many thanks.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! I’m glad the video was helpful to you! And the wireless CarPlay is great when you get it! 👍

Bro, when I use my Waze or Google map on my android car stereo and it I get a phone call whilst using the sat nav, my phone call blocks the sat nav, is there a button to minimise this?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Honestly I don’t ever have this problem because I don’t usually talk on the phone when I’m driving. But there might be a setting where it keeps the phone running in the background. While your other apps don’t get blocked.

[@megamanguy]

Don't you wish you had Windows 🪟?

[@josephackerman1907]

It sounds like you’re call is going over Bluetooth instead of CarPlay cause that’s what happens to me so I had to manually switch from Bluetooth to CarPlay and then my phone memorized that and hasn’t done it since

[@thanidu]

4:12 scared me for a second

[@BrandonStellmach]

😂 😂

[@Grammyy]

Thanks for this video my bluetooth randomly stopped working so I was trying to figure out solutions. Most apps you have to download on the phone itself so if I want a friend to plug up its rough and the head unit just mirrors your phone screen. Istalled APK and dongle will be here tomorrow 👍🏼

[@janmarvinronquillo8929]

It will work even your android head unit doesn’t have stock apple car play?

[@nuclearpistachio]

yes

[@omri7777]

Great vid👏🏼. I have 2 questions; 1. I need a wifi connection to the head unit? Or just plug and go? 2. Is it charge the iPhone?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m order to get Apple CarPlay installed, you will need to have a wifi connection to install the app. But after that, you do not need any wifi connection. And it does charge your phone, but it is not fast at all. But maybe a few percent after like a 20-30 minute drive.

[@flazone1829]

bro im out here trying to fix my headunit because i updated zlink and broke it and this guy puts all these memes in his tutorial im crying laughing 😂😂

[@lxngo6065]

How did you connect your cables in your glove compartment? Did you use a cable with an Aux and Usb end? Because in my car the glove compartment only has the aux input.

[@BrandonStellmach]

On my radio, it came with extra USB ports. So I drilled a hole and ran them into the glove box! The aux port doesn’t support Apple CarPlay!

[@jimwelton1693]

Thanks for posting this and explaining the box version updates.

[@BrandonStellmach]

No problem! I’m glad the video helped out!

[@Goldiglock]

Do you need a authentic lighting cable or any data cable is okay

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have used both and they seem to work good!

[@mikebuckley331]

Thanks for this video. Mine was working great. But now it doesn’t give a option to update box. Just says please insert box but it’s plugged in. Any idea??

[@BrandonStellmach]

The box might have gone bad. I actually had that happen to me once before. They are all made pretty cheap. And once the car doesn’t recognize it, usually it won’t work. If you want best thing to do is make sure all the connections are good between the box and the radio. Or plug something else into that USB port coming from the radio to make sure that is still working properly!

[@codymeche7240]

Does your microphone work correctly with this, mine head unit has that zscaler app and the mic gain is half of what it is when using the phone feature in android

[@BrandonStellmach]

I wouldn’t say it’s perfect. It does work, but is not the best! I don’t make many phone calls in the car, so it never bothered me.

[@shinerjames8415]

Bruh! I got a nissan pathfinder 2020. It doesn't have android auto or applecarplay to it. So if i buyt that thing will it be possible for me connect to my phone??? Just like yours...

[@BrandonStellmach]

This would not work, you need an android radio because you are going to need to download the app, which I don’t think the stock touchscreen will allow that.

[@maseelsardar777]

Hey brandon what,s ur android stereo name? I am looking to get this but can u tell me that will it works in topway android car stereo?

[@BrandonStellmach]

In the video I have a binize android head unit. But since that video I swapped to a idoing radio now!

[@newkreativent]

Does Apple CarPlay run smoother with the dongle than using the wireless carplay built in the android radio?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I think using the built in wireless is actually faster then using the dongle.

[@impalerdrumer]

Very good video, thank you for that! Just a question, this dongle has enough power to also charge the iphone battery when you are using carplay through cable? If yes, it works like a "slow charging" or it is more like a "regular one"?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes the dongle has enough power to charge your phone, but it’s a very slow charge( I mean super slow) about maybe 5-10% every hour. So I wouldn’t want to rely on it to actually charge your phone. But it’s nice that it will charge a few percent when you drive some where.

The only thing that I can think of is there should be a brightness slider somewhere in the settings. And I believe I have mine turned all the way up.

[@woutervanwijk4369]

So if I understand correctly, this works on any android 4.4+ head unit without wired android auto preinstalled?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes that is correct. As long as you are able to download the app you need, you should be able to get CarPlay/ android auto working.

[@muradsalameh5294]

Sorry for asking so many questions, and this should be my last one (hopefully). Are you able to talk to someone when they call you or do you disconnect the phone to talk?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes, you can talk through the speaker on the radio when someone calls. There is No need to disconnect.

[@junaidsherif83]

Great video, thanks a lot for this, i have a question… do i have to keep the phone screen on for this to work or can i keep it locked

[@BrandonStellmach]

You can lock your phone. Does not need to be on!

[@krist1429]

I have samsung. But I want carplay on my truck. Is it possible with this?

[@BrandonStellmach]

As long as you can download the APK and install the required app this will work on your radio!

[@seamericano]

Just want to make sure, this is a Dasaita headunit with a non-Dasaita dongle? And it works just fine? I had a similar problem, Dasaita HU that stopped working with the Dasaita dongle after a system/MCU update. Bought a new Dasaita dongle and it still didn't work. Please clarify that detail, thank you.

[@BrandonStellmach]

This is a binize radio, and I was just using the carlink dongle with no problems. But I do have a dasita radio in my 2016 Camry, when I first got it I did get a dasita dongle, but it went bad after about a year, and so I just bought one of the carlink dongles and it works great as long as I downloaded the app for the carlink dongle!! I hope this helps out.

[@alexfndes9574]

Hey Brandon, I have the same unit as you and am looking into this dongle. Just a question, can you use this dongle with carplay but with bluetooth or does it have to be via the cable?

[@BrandonStellmach]

This dongle doesn’t support any Bluetooth functionality, so you will always have to be plugged in. But if you want to have wireless CarPlay, I made a video on that. And since you have the same head unit, you will have to follow this video, and my other video here: so that way you don’t need to be hooked up with a wire! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfVhH-CgJl3f6c

Hi. I have one as well. Do you know how one gets the radio to startup on carplay or zlink screen rather than the cheap homescreen first?

[@muradsalameh5294]

How did you customize your tablet home screen like that? (Not the Apple homescreen)

[@BrandonStellmach]

The android came like that. I didn’t do anything other than change the background. But the apps and clock were already like that on my unit. I didn’t think they were different on the units.

[@aleksandarhadjasija1214]

Can you use USB port that's integrated in your car or does the USB have to be connected to the multimedia device?

It has to be the ones that come with the radio. Now if you wanted to, you could buy a USB replacement. That has the female to female adapter, and it will replace the stock one.

That’s very weird, I have not had that problem. The only thing I would make sure the volume on your phone is turned up as well. And make sure there are no other settings turned off on your radio preventing the sound for those sources.

Appreciate your helpful videos though.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m pretty sure there is a setting in the radio. That allows you to watch videos on the screen. And you will have to enable it. And sometimes other radios need you to pull the E-Brake in order to watch videos on the screen. But hope this gives you some help!

[@tehamijamil2371]

hey brandon, is there any way to control the sound settings such as bass & treble if we got the wireless head unit from amazon?

The CarPlay module does not have any sound settings to adjust. But the radio I am using does have EQ settings to adjust all the the treble and bass settings you need.

What version of software do you have on your radio? My main screen looks different. Yours looks way better lol. It’s the same radio.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Are you talking about trying to listen to music out of Apple CarPlay? Like the radio or Bluetooth? If so you might have the auto start option for Apple CarPlay to always open up the app on the head unit. If you are not talking about that, and you are saying every time you listen to music on Apple CarPlay, and it stops. Maybe just try to reboot your phone, or make sure you actually have Apple Music subscription signed into that phone.

[@tempestbeast9006]

My car has the same two usb’s with a very similar head unit the usbs stay on even when I turn my car off should I be worried about this because I don’t want it to drain the battery I’ve had my screen for a week, do you have the same issue

[@tempestbeast9006]

I found out when I turned my car off and my phone was still charging through the usb

[@BrandonStellmach]

To be honest I’m not sure if mine does or not, I will have to check tomorrow if it does. But also I know that some radios stay on for about 1 minute after you shut the car off. Does it still charge when after you wait over a minute?

[@tempestbeast9006]

I’ll check today

[@akuaelsie881]

Will this fit a 2017 Kia Forte?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Your car would need to come with Apple CarPlay from factory. And if it does then yes you can plug this into the USB for CarPlay.

[@dazzeroo007]

Afternoon i got same unit last week but usbs wont work it says i have to go into management file manager any ideas please before i send it back

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m not sure I understand, what exactly are you trying to run off the USB? Music, videos?

[@ThaInphamouzKane863]

The link you provided does not work. I just purchased a Atoto S8 2nd gen head unit. Says it has CarPlay, but having a hard time trying to get it. Can you. PLEASE help

[@BrandonStellmach]

I just doubled checked the links, they seem to be working on my end. Not sure why they don’t for you. But if the radio says it comes with CarPlay, you shouldn’t need to install anything. I would look for an app that is called carlink, or Tlink. It should be called something very similar. I hope this helps.

[@ThaInphamouzKane863]

After removing the app, the link does work. But found out my CarPlay dongle doesn’t work with my stereo. I should’ve followed my first my mind and got the dongle you have. SMH, you live and learn. Great vid 💯

[@eibua]

bro i got the same radio unit but i had it for 7 months already and out of nowhere is not producing any sound out the speakers idk why! do you know anything about it? or wat can i do to fix it

[@eibua]

its working and everything its just that

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s weird I haven’t heard of that happening, the best thing to do is double check and make sure all the cables are pushed into the back of the radio. Also I believe there is a fuse in the back of the radio. Maybe double check that it didn’t get blown. And maybe the last thing to try is get another speaker and replace it. Maybe the speakers blew. Would be very odd chance of that happening, but could have.

@@BrandonStellmach got u bro thanks for always answering 🔥

[@ccacrislan]

Is the IPhone being charged as well while is connected to this dongle?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yes it does charge, it just doesn’t charge fast.

[@Kfjm22]

If you still use this dongle… is it still working for you because before I plug in it displays the usual please connect phone so when I plug it in it doesn’t connect it just changes to please Insert product

[@BrandonStellmach]

When I was using the dongles. I noticed they would only last about 6 months. I went though 3 of them in 2 different cars. And now I make sure my radios comes with it, so I don’t need a dongle.

[@piyushthomas3731]

My car infotainment system does not support factory Car play, after plugging it through can I get the to car play working?

[@BrandonStellmach]

No, this will not work. You will need to have a android radio that supports Apple CarPlay. And you can usually find that out, if you are able to download the app or not.

[@piyushthomas3731]

@@BrandonStellmach alright I got it, mine is just a normal one without the android auto, just navigation only. Btw thanks

[@androidscreenandcameras3981]

Sir nowadays autokit app is not supporting can you tell me the other app I'll be thankful to you

[@BrandonStellmach]

I am still using the same app and everything i showed you on my car. I’m not sure why it’s not working. Did you try to download the link in the description?

[@ridemnt]

Any idea if you can combine the dongle with the wireless apple play adapter you can buy so you don’t have to plug your phone in to use apple car play?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have already done that! Here is a link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfVhH-CgJl3f6c

[@dkhoahoang]

Did you notice any difference in sound quality after installing carplay?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I didn’t notice much of one. Would compare it to using Bluetooth!

[@alexfndes9574]

hey dude, thanks for the helpful video👍 do you have any idea how to set the manufacturer logo on the carplay screen since mine just says “car”. Not the end of the world but would be nice to show the manufacturer logo of the car

[@BrandonStellmach]

I believe when you open up the CarPlay app, before you plug in your phone, I think in the settings up in the corner I gives you the option to change the car logo. It has been awhile since I did that. But I believe it’s somewhere around there.

[@anghios]

Is it wireless with iphone? Only with bluetooth, without wifi activated

[@BrandonStellmach]

You have to plug the iPhone in with the cable. Otherwise it won’t work. And they do make wireless CarPlay dongles, but they cost a lot more. But I believe those work over Bluetooth.

[@ScottNelson-f7s]

Works Great, but when I receive a call the caller cannot hear me, do you know how to fix this?

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s weird, do you make sure the settings on the radio are good for the microphone. Or does your radio require an external microphone. I know some need an external to work.

[@ScottNelson-f7s]

The radio has a external microphone

[@ScottNelson-f7s]

I can hear the caller however the caller cannot hear me

[@teddywars1]

I know this is a 2 years old video, but I have that same headunit and dongle and when I connect the dongle that Autokit app doesn't recognize it. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

[@BrandonStellmach]

Best thing to do is try a different USB coming from the radio, if that doesn’t work, it is most likely an issue with the dongle. I have heard of these going bad!

[@mariobaq117]

Can you install the APK without having the dongle? Or is it needed?

[@BrandonStellmach]

You can download the APK without the dongle!

[@dennysvelasquez5816]

when i connect to wifi via home router or hot spot on my phone it says limited connection and wont let me install anything or use any navigation apps because it wont let me log in. any solution?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m not sure what exact radio you are using, but if you have any way to reset it, like a small button in the front of the radio. Otherwise maybe just try to reset your home internet and see if that helps. Because I have never had that problem!

[@abderrahmaneloukal3796]

Just bought an Android aftersell sterio and it’s not compatible with carplay. Do you think I can use that ?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Just double check the description of the dongle. But I believe as long as you are running android 4.xx it will work.

[@barbioxdogg1]

Can i connect to the dongle via Bluetooth and not connect my phone to the dongle via USB cable?

[@mariobaq117]

+1

[@raulsibeze4945]

hello!! my android headunit’s usb port is very weak will it work?

[@BrandonStellmach]

As long as the iPhone shows that it is charging it will work! 👍

[@callumrichardson4952]

Hi mate do you have a problem with it swtiching off when you turn the car/ignition off, my screen just seems to keep on even when i lock the car?

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s very weird, I have not heard of that happening, it sounds like the power is connected to an always on, and not accessory power.
