I just watched a couple of YouTubes on these. There are a couple different brands but one thing that stuck out was they said that if you remote start your vehicle it might disconnect.  I am very interested in this so I can add in the wireless charging and not have any plugs showing.

I got my Carplay2air a few weeks ago and has been flawless in my 2020. I didn’t update it to the newest version as it works perfect and don’t want to chance the update screwing it up. It connects ever

I'm getting a replacement for mine, no lights on it.  Hopefully when I get the new one, it will finally work as expected.

Check the USB plug you are using, plug your phone directly into it and verify CarPlay works from that location.  Some USB plugs do not go directly to radio

Any tips to getting it to work? They told me to make sure my phone and truck isn’t connected to any WiFi’s and a few other steps but nothing works, I can see it’s doing something but not what it’s supposed to do for sure.

Hmm the only thing I did was I NEVER updated. So right out of the box this is what I did I started my truck went into the Bluetooth settings to forget my phone. Shut the truck off then started again and plugged the dongle into the usb inside my center console. Then searched for Bluetooth on my phone and connected to the dongle and waited a little while for it to connect then made sure it worked. Then searched for updates to see if it was the latest version it isn’t so I NEVER updates as I wasn’t sure if it’s the new update messing other people’s dongle from working.

Yeah mine is still pretty new so far out of 30-40 times I jumped in the truck to go for a drive it has connected every time. I don’t think I’ll do any updates unless it stops working. I have heard of people’s going to crap after a month or two so time will tell.

Mines new as well- mine will say connect a compatible phone. Sometimes it will register when I start driving. Mine usually takes 2-3 minutes after starting before it’s up and going. It’s a decent piece. Hoping that 2021 GM option for the wireless CarPlay will be able to be retrofitted into my 20’.

Yeah mine has done that a few times as well but will always connect. Yep I’m also waiting for the 2021 retro idea I looked that up first to see if the new 2021Tahoe would work but no one has done it yet so I’ll go with this dongle for now till we can retro fit the 2021 modules in.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
