Full Screen Carplay on Refresh

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.

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!

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

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.

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
