Carlinkit 4.0 is out. Can do both android auto and Apple CarPlay. I just received my 3.0 from last post at $54 that only does CarPlay from LightInTheBox. Took about 2 weeks. Only issue is that you need to install LightInTheBox app to get the price. There's a code EVENT that saves $6 off $59.

How to adjust the delay

Posted by aznxphreak (post 218)

"I have 3.0 and suffered the audio delay issue too thats annoying when playing video. Luckily you can adjust the delay for it to be in sync. When your phone is connected, go to http://192.168.50.2 and lower the audio delay to 400ms or tune to your liking. I think this will help a lot of people.
"

From LightintheBox CS: (my Carlinkit broke with 5 months of purchase)
We have looked into your situation and noticed that your purchase is no longer under the 30 days warranty period. Unfortunately, it means that we cannot grant you a return for refund or exchange because our refund policy doesn't allow one in this case.

I have the 4.0 version for few days now. So far, I did not see audio lag. The map lags about less then a second but it is working fine. It does take about 20 - 25 seconds to connect everytime. It does both Carplay and Android auto. The calls, audio sounds are good. I did not notice lagging during music and phone calls. However, I play music using youtube and it did freezed a couple of times. It was because I lost network connect on my phone, then it comes back working fine again. FYI, the initial set up show VW on the bluetooth but I have the Hyuandai. After the set up, it updated to Hyundai. Overall, it is work good so far.
No because CarPlay uses wifi to connect to your phone. Even official Apple wireless CarPlay in a BMW won't allow you to simultaneously use the hotspot function.
I used the coupon code: LISA
It took 15% off.

I mean that's what PayPal is for. They're secure enough that I'm not worried about the attempted account break-in. That being said it'll that a great deal to get me back to buying from this place again.

This puts out its own WiFi and the password is 12345678. The name will probably be something related to your car. From there you can go to 192.168.50.2 and change the delay on the audio. The connection seems to become slightly less stable if you reduce the delay.

I guess I had really low expectations based on what was mentioned in this thread. I'm pleasantly surprised how well it's been working so far.

After adding 1 Carlinkit 4.0 to my order, I see sales tax listed at $17.56. Are others being charged sales tax on their order (inflated or accurate)? I live in Suffolk County, NY. Sales tax, if charged, should be $4.92 (@ 8.625%).
Seems very sketchy.

I got mine about a week ago and performance an customer support is lacking. Carlinkit won't provide support since it wasn't purchased from an authorized stores. It take up to 60 seconds for mine to connect which isn't constant. I can not connect to the settings as per the instructions and I'm at the point of going back to a wired connection. I've had a few instances where a phone call comes in and I can't answer, audio pops and overall unimpressed. Trying to return now.

Mine has been working OK but it does have a ~60-second delay to boot and connect.


I could also not connect to the device over wifi to get to the config. I confirmed I'm connected to its 192.168.50.xx wifi and its IP address but it just times out. I tried this from both an iPhone and Android.


Apparently, they can be updated via USB but you have to email carlinkkit directly for the firmware file https://carlinkitcarplay.com/blog...lash-drive . I haven't tried to see if there's an update the fixes the wireless connectivity.

Hmmm… Mine connects in about 10-15 seconds, and I'm also able to connect to it via Safari (I already performed 1 update). I hope they'll replace yours (returns seem to be pretty difficult based on what's been reported here).

Thanks, it's good to know that the WiFi connection does work. I actually bought mine from carlinkkit so I'll send them an email to see if there's an update to try.

You have to manually connect to the WiFi it puts out. Plug it up to something not your car AA or CP outlet and turn off the Bluetooth on your phone and it will put out a WiFi network you connect to. The password is 12345678

for android users, i believe this the AAWireless [aawireless.io] is probably the best option and is the same price as the Motorola MA1 (the smarter option another user mentioned) except for the fact that the AAWireless has FW updating capabilities for longer term compatibility.

From what I know before using it, calinkit4.0 is an upgraded version of 3.0, which adds a wireless Android auto function on the basis of the original. So basically it's a rebadged version of the 3.0 with some stability and performance optimizations.

They are late in releasing it because of the optimizations they were adding to theirs for stability etc.
