I have checked the date and time settings in the Carlin Kit settings and my truck. They are both set to automatic. So it should sync. I tried to adjust each one manually to see if one feeds another. I can’t get this message to go away.

Also, the file to put on the SD card, mine starts with what looks like Chinese writing in step 1 and 2. Then repeats in English step 1 and 2. Is that right?

The best I can think of is downloading and installing the latest Android version. If that doesn't work, I am sure the support team will give you some help.

 

And yes, that reverse.ini file has both Chinese and English text in it.

As many of you know, the refresh trucks have big screens for the infotainment system. For some reason, GM has not allowed Carplay to be fullscreen but Android Auto does have fullscreen. The way I got

I have the one that is (4+64G) model. I believe the difference between the difference between this one and the (8+128G) model is the latter has 8 gigs of RAM with 128 Gigs of storage compared to 4 gig

I'm pretty sure you can't. Could be wrong though.

I have never seen that before. Just to clarify, what happens if you click the Date / Time button and adjust it? If it is, maybe the Tbox has the wrong time. Do you have another vehicle that has Apple Carplay? If so, try plugging it into that one and if it loads, try setting the date and time and see if it's correct.

I have. Load it the first time through CarPlay, connect to WiFi. It will update the time and date. Now you can do as you please.

Here is a somewhat related question for anyone who can help:  Can I remove the ‘Trailering’ view from the right side of the screen?  I never use it.  Thanks!

Can you download this file onto different brands of these devices? I just bought the autoplexion one. Think it will work?

Not sure. Probably not. Try contacting autoplexion and asking if there is a way to change the projection mode from Carplay to Android Auto

Well after using it for awhile here are my observations.

 

There seems to be a lag and dropping volume issue when talking on the phone, a little annoying.

 

There also seems to be an issue when it's reading texts, it cuts off the first 1-2 seconds of the text.

 

The screen looks awesome, love the full screen look and everything seems to work great besides the phone and text issues. I'm going to give it some more time to see which ends up being more important to me.

Sorry, I have not gotten on for a few days. Let's go through it. Are you using a Mac or a PC? On a Mac, open Disk Utility, click on the SD card, Erase, format to exFat, and scheme to Master Boot Record. Download that file and place it in the Tbox. On PC, right-click on the SD card, click format, select exFat for the file system, then click start. Download and put the file in there and put it into the Tbox. If that doesn't work, try to format it as fat32 instead of exfat.

I’m struggling, I cannot get this to work. Once I erase format to exfat and scheme to master boot record what is my next step? You say download that file but I don’t see a place to download.

All you have to do is click the file.

Is anyone else running into the issue where call quality is not good?  People say I sound like I’m in a tunnel. Siri also sounds bad 

After using it for a while, I found this to be true unfortunately. So that’s one drawback about this method. Carlinkit occasionally has updates for the Tbox that fixes problems like these so hopefully they will have a fix in an update soon.

Hey, I bought the product and downloaded the file onto a SD card. It says copying and appears to take the SD card but it doesn’t switch over to Android auto. Any help is appreciated as I can’t get it to go full screen?

Ok, an update as to my feelings on this Mod,

             Screen looks awesome, I wish Car Play would be full screen!

             Everything works as it should

 

I didn't play with other options the module had but there are a ton of things to see it seems, not sure what they are though.

I've decided not to continue using it, why you ask.....

             It has a lag when reading texts in which I do a lot when driving, Speak to text has a lag as well

              Clarity when talking on the phone, it's not bad, but Apple Car Play is clearer in my opinion

              Doesn't automatically connect when you start the truck, you always have to hit the Android Icon on the screen.

 

  None of the things are real deal breakers and the maps and music screens look fantastic, it's just not for me I guess.

 

Just my .02

So I was gifted an Android Ai Box Ultra for Christmas and I cannot for the life of me get the full screen. Any help would be much appreciated. It’s an Android box that allows CarPlay and Android Auto, but I can’t get the Android Auto to work with my IPhone obviously, only the CarPlay. 
 

Here is the link to the box.  https://a.co/d/7gbIiyA

 

I’ve attached a picture too. image.thumb.jpg.5ac788856c26e6bf2548d00144552268.jpg

I’ve contacted AuroraLink (the seller of your Android Ai box to find out any info on wether it is possible to change the projection method to use Android Auto instead of CarPlay (allows the use of full screen). They should get back to me in 48 hours, maybe a little more because of the holidays. When I find out more, I will let you know.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
