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.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By superdave160 · Posted

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
