How's the performance (navigation lag, song switching lag, audio quality, disconnection issues) compared to the Carlinkit 5.0? Are they basically the same? Or is one noticeably faster?
@CarPlayLife
@CarPlayLife 10 ай бұрын
They each run different software so there is that difference and the CarlinKit has a slightly faster CPU inside. The air boots faster. So they each have pros and cons. My go to is the 5.0 atm.

Try the different modes in the IP config menu. You need to be connected to it to get in there on your browser. If you don’t have enough time to connect or can’t try plugging it into a wall adapter and wait for the WiFi to display and then connect to it using pass 88888888 or 12345678. If there is a start delay option use that, give it 1-2s delay.

So if your car has a navigation mode it likely had a GPS antenna. GPS passthrough will use this antenna for a better connection to GPS satellites than using the GPS antenna in your phone, especially if the mobile phone is in a bag or back pocket away from the top of the dash.

I bought the U2 Air Pro which worked great for almost a week then died. My car (IONIQ 5) wouldn’t recognise the device. Support has been seriously bad, ritually non existent. I requested my money back or return the product which fell on deaf ears. It has been weeks of emails with occasional infrequent responses. When it worked it was great. Now almost 2 months later they offered a new product, still waiting for them to send it. This is seriously bad support for this product so consider with care..

My car is equipped with the premium sound system and sound is a tiny bit quieter and also bass and treble sound just a tiny bit worse, but it bothers me. Do you test sound quality, and if so, what is the best adapter in your opinion? Thank you

From what I hear the 5.0 is better than the Ottocast. Me personally I find little difference between them and I am running stock speakers from 2014 so nothing high fidelity here. I do think I have an ear for what sounds like crap and honestly I can’t tell much between them. I can tell over wired/wireless. Maybe my system is doing all the heavy lifting, or my ears are just getting worse with age 😂

I have unplug the dongle and restart to get it to connect to the phone. I have selected connect when locked, and using an iPhone 11 with iOS 6.6? Should both Bluetooth and wifi be connected? I turned of Bluetooth and it seemed better, but not tested it this way enough. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

@CarPlayLife

It’s never that bad in my experience. Think of it like you’re using navigation on your iPhone screen whilst driving. Same thing. If that’s fine for you then so will this. All it means is it’s using your iPhone aerial instead of one in your car. It all really depends on your iPhone location in the car and how well it will perform connecting to satellites in that location. If it’s up on the dash then it’s not much different to the car gps antenna that might be located around your windscreen or car roof.

It shouldn’t say this as that’s false marketing. This specific box does only wireless CarPlay. The type you refer to is an AI Box like the picasou 2 from Ottocast.

It has one extra setting in IP config but that’s about it. Some tweaks to make it just a little faster, in my testing.
