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

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. 


Could be my issue but it works intermittently. Not a big deal as I am using it flawlessly in my car.

Amazon sells this one through Prime so I guess you could try it out and if it doesn't work send it back.  Beats waiting for China shipping and restocking fee.

Not sure about returns because it doesn't look like a Prime sale

Received the CarPlay2Air yesterday, and it worked right out of the box. I undated the firmware, after that it would not connect to my 2017 LTZ. I followed the instructions to totally disconnect it and then reconnected it, that did not seem to help. I tried that again (did not seem to work) and then went for a drive. After a few minutes the carplay button came on, but I could not run carplay, hitting the button did nothing. I power-cycled the media player, and hit the carplay button again. Carplay launched via CarPlay2Air and it just worked. Worked for the rest of the day. It does take some time to connect (up to 20 sec) when I leave and return to the truck.   We will see how it works today.

Waking up this thread for anyone who has still has their CPlay2Air and/or Carlinkit (They are the exact same) and still have not gotten it working.

When I went to update the dongle, the highest version it was giving me was 2020.10.28 but I figured out you can manually flash the firmware using a usb flash drive. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MESS UPS YALL CREATE, Flashing firmware like this could Brick the dongle and make it completely useless!

 

Here are the steps to Flash a higher version of the firmware

 

1.) format a flashdrive of any size (USB A) to FAT32

 

2.) Download the firmware from https://github.com/ludwig-v/wireless-carplay-dongle-reverse-engineering onto the now formatted flashdrive, I Used the Custom 2020.12.10 and it works perfectly for my truck (Make sure to rename the file to U2W_Update)

 

3.)Connect the CPlay2air/Carlinkit to a USB wall adapter, wait for the solid red light

 

4.)put the flashdrive into the usb port  on the dongle (red and blue light should start flashing back and fourth)

 

5.) GIVE IT 5 MIN to finish flashing

 

6.) Solid red light should appear when finished

 

7.) when finished, unplug the dongle from wall adapter then remove flashdrive from dongle and plug into Silverado!! should work great!

 

If red light doesnt appear you may have bricked the device and now it is garbage. (still try it out)

 

here is a thread I read that might answer any more questions you have (page 187):

      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.
