I read you lose steering wheel controls if you have this.  If that is true, why would anyone buy this?

No not true all my steering controls work perfectly.

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

If possible, could all of you put the make and model and year of your trucks?

    Thanks, Jerry

Im curious if there is a way to update these units if your truck or phone won't connect to it?

Hmmm I wonder if you can hook it up to a computer then go to the website in the instructions it might work for updating.

GMC 2020 Sierra 3500HD

—

I received the device today, got it connected and...it kinda worked. It told me to connect it up via wire but it still connected wirelessly and started playing music from my iPhone. I could not access the CarPlay interface but again the music was playing. 

I updated the firmware and no change. Now, with about 10 attempts to re-add my iPhone to the device via bluetooth, I got the CarPlay screen to show up, once. After that it went back to the old behavior of playing music but no CarPlay interface to use.

I don’t have steering wheel Siri control while using this device like when it’s connected via lighting cable.

 

I will reach out to the support folks in hopes of getting some assistance but based on this thread my expectations are low.

maybe first get the radio to forget the bluetooth/carplay connections to your phone, then try setting up the carplay2air device again?

This is what happens when you buy crap from China!? ?

 

You have a link for the American-made option?

For anyone interested...

I asked C2airplay if it would work on my 20 Silverado 2500. They told me if my truck had  “C Port” in the console, then it would not work. 
I confirmed I had C Port, but ALSO had regular hdmi port. They responded that it would still not work. Apparently the mere presence of the C Port makes it incompatible right now. I don’t know why, but that’s what they said. 
 

So anyone who has LTZ or HC, probably has issues with it. Hope this helps.

Interesting as they still sell them and advertise that they work when they do not work, then they want me to pay shipping back to China and pay a 25% restocking fee, bunch of BS!

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
