Apple Carplay with a WIFI Box

[charlesoris]

I have not, since about two weeks ago. How do you tell it needs a new firmware? Would it not show up when I plug it into my Tesla?

Please refer to post #64 by @jerome8283 and follow steps 1 - 3. My T2C is running the latest one dated Feb. 2023.

Within the CarPlay menu click on the Car icon (see attached pic). This icon can be customized so yours may have a different image. This should take you the the T2C menu.

You can turn CarPlay on your iPhone off to prevent it from launching while in the setup menu. Toggle AutoKit off . (Pic below).

Within the T2C menu click About and Software Update. (Pic below).

Anyone who had this working have it break on the new 2023.7 or 2023.12 branch ?

Yes. Mine now only shows a black screen. I’m on 11.4.2, 2023.7.10. I saw a screen when I tried to log in using an iPad as if it were Tesla with the CarLinKit t2c powered in my house and the iPad on the AutoKit_XXXX Wi-Fi “waiting for connection” that says something about Tesla software no longer allowing images and them offering a CarLinKit downgrade that would fix this and that they are working on a software update for the CarLinKit that would also fix. I can’t get it to work since the Tesla upgrade. I guess I’ll wait for CarLinKit to issue new firmware. I hope it comes quickly. I miss using CarPlay for Waze, and for seeing red and yellow and blue road conditions since I don’t pay for premium connectivity on the Tesla. Otherwise it’s not a big deal. But I have had lots of glitches with the box and regularly have to start from scratch with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings. I haven’t found a way that the CarLinKit stays reliable.

Since these devices work the same in model 3 and Y, please continue any further posts in the following thread:

carlinkit/ownice does not make the software. The only chance to get some fixes from them is talking to their supplier. Yep, I wrote a post on exactly this. However I don't think we know who the ODM is so they have to a) know there's an issue and b) pressure the ODM to issue a new fix in the SDK.
