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.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
