sorry you are having issues. it can work very well. I use it daily. I have same carlinkit dongle model. I use it wireless and wired without issue. Wired mode is less finicky though But not too much.So I first I just want to say, great forum and very helpful!
And thanks to mgapinski for this awesome work-around!!
I set up my Tesla-Android this week and finally deployed to my M3P last night. I'd like to say things went smooth.... but no.
Here's my setup:
Rasberry Pi 4 8 gb - (Case is plastic, so it doesn't interfere with WiFi signal)
Overclocked with suggested settings
SanDisk 128 Gb SD Card - (Figured I would go bigger for future update, plus so cheap anyways)
CarlinKit dongle - (Got the CCPA version as it was listed in hardware suggestions)
Phone - iPhone 14 Pro Max. (for Carplay)
Everything hooked up VERY easy and with no hitch at first. Very responsive UI.
The problem comes once the CarlinKit is connected to the Pi and Carplay comes up, the CarlinKit disconnects right away and the music plays through my phone. After that it won't stay connected at all and I have to forget device and re-pair.
I've tried rebooting Pi and car, neither help.
Also I must say even after reading through a few forums, I still don't have a great grasp on the install/setup process. It's not a very organized process.
- Does't the phone ONLY have to pair with the carllinkit?
- Do you also need to pair it to the Pi?
- Do you need to turn on bluetooth tethering (Hotspot) in the Pi settings??
I think we need a bit more detailed setup/settings process and maybe a troubleshooting post with solutions.
Any help with my issue would be extremely appreciated! I'm very excited to get this working! (and looking forward to version 2022.45)
i have theories and will type it up later when on computer. my rushed iPad type info will be horrible.
