Car Play not connecting

Tczar

I have the 8 core system - - and it is all installed and set up. ;-)

The issue I am having is with Car-Play. Sometimes (50%) it seems to get stuck when tryng to connect through Bluetooth with my phone. Sometimes I have to manually restart CarPlay to get it to connect. Sometimes it just won’t connect. Other times it seems to work fine.

Any ideas or suggestions? I have used the OTA to update everything (although the MCU doesn’t seem to register. I download and install, but when checking it stills says a new version is available - - the same one, I think )

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy 22+

Thanks

Leo

Hi Tczar,

Thanks for your message!

Could you please check if you’ve updated the Carlink 2.0 app from the app store on your head unit?
If not, please update it to the latest version, restart the system, and try connecting again (also delete the previous Bluetooth pairing from both your phone and the head unit before reconnecting).

Additionally, please open the Carlink 2.0 app and tap the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner to enter the settings page. You’ll find the app version number there — could you let us know what version you’re currently using?

We’re working to improve compatibility and connection stability, and this info will help us assist you better.

Thanks!

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I thought I had updated the CarLink app, but I must have just downloaded it but not installed. So I did install. Now running Version 2.25.0530.1644.

Seems to connect, but I will let you know how consistent this works over the coming days.

Thanks again. I am enjoying this system.
