Not sure since the developer hasn't released that feature. But most likely. I was thinking maybe the USB connection to the Carlinkit adapter, but I doubt he'd be able to address it from the OS there. So I guess you'd have to be doing wireless CarPlay then plug your iPhone into the Pi.by plugging the cable to one of the Pi’s usb ports?
Well, not sure the new Carlinkit adapter will solve my connection problems. The first three times I got in the car today (including turning on the system on my first trip) it connected perfectly. When I left my last appointment (4th time entering car I got the message "Please make sure the phone's WiFi status is on.Just got the CPC200-CCPA to replace the CPC200-Autokit. Worked right off the bat. Noticed that the WiFi and Bluetooth were called AutoBox-xxx instead of Autokit-xxx. More interesting is that after the wireless CarPlay connection was established if I looked at WiFi on my iPhone it said it was not connected. No WiFi network was listed there.

This is what I see on the Settings app. Tried turning the phone's WiFi on and off to no avail.

What fixed it (this time) was to swipe down on the Pi and kill the Autokit app then launch it again. Phone automatically connected to CarPlay and all was well.
Am I the only one having trouble with CarPlay connecting consistently?
I have this issue occasionally. Usually I reboot the pi and it connects again.Well, not sure the new Carlinkit adapter will solve my connection problems.

That is the CarPlay WiFi connection I think. But I've never looked at the setting when it's working, so maybe it disappears to "Not Connected" when CarPlay connects successfully. I'll check next time.Also, not sure why you are connected to the "AutoBox-745f" since it should have switched you to the CarPlay WiFi connection (which by the way does not show up on the WiFi tab as "Adam Gill" explained well just before your post.)
Didn't connect when I left my last appointment. The message alternated from "Please connect your phone" and "Please connect the product. Stopping and starting Autokit.apk didn't resolve. Power cycling the Pi did.
For reference, when it did connect I checked the WiFi settings. It shows me connected to AutoBox-xxx. Phone phone was doing wireless CarPlay when this screenshot was taken.

Hmm. To be clear, I'm pretty sure that "Autobox-745f" is the WiFi that wireless CarPlay communicates over. The question is what kind of smoke and mirrors are involved with wireless CarPlay and WiFi.Just a thought - click on the "i" circled symbol and "Forget" this device. It could be that for what ever reason your WiFi got associated with the "Autobox-745f" and that is preventing it from normal behavior.

But, again today, after my first stop of the day I came back to my car after about an hour. Had the message alternating from "Please connect your phone" and "Please connect the product". Stopping and starting Autokit.apk didn't resolve. Power cycling the Pi did.
I never had that behaviour with the CPC200-Autokit. It's been doing it with my new CPC200-CCPA.
So when you're iPhone is doing wireless CarPlay, if you go to Settings, Wi-Fi, it will say "Not connected"?Yes, the "Autobox-745f" is the Autokit CarPlay wireless address but it is a pass-thru address so it should not be associated permanently to the iPhone. It seems that it got permanently associated with your phone. It should not be showing as it is.
Forgot to mention that if you go to your CarPlay settings on your iPhone you should see the AutKit-XXXX address that is the same as your Bluetooth address.Yes, it does not show a WiFi connection. The only type of connection you should see listed for Autokit is the Bluetooth connection and even then it is only "active"/"connected" when it is doing the handshake with CarPlay after that the Autokit Bluetooth should show on your Bluetooth list but should show as disconnected. You should never see the CarPlay WiFi (in your case "Autobox-745f") as active and connected.
My wife has had this Tesla for almost two WEEKS. She realizes how sorely she misses CarPlay and is ready to trade this thing in already unless I come up with a solution. You know the saying: Happy Wife, Happy Life.<snip>....... I've had my Tesla almost two years. I realized I sorely missed CarPlay after about a month of ownership and started looking for and trying workarounds........ <snip>
