Thank so much, your video really helped me out. I just had my wireless Apple CarPlay installed and I was having issue with no audio from income calls. The guy at the shop couldn’t figure it out either, I’m glad I found your video! So thank you!
Hi! I dont have an aux connection on my bmw, and i follow all ur steps and and i don’t have sound on carplay. What should i do in your opinion? Thank you!
it need to check if your other media (like music / video in android menu) have sound or not, the carplay as an App of android screen, same as other media source, the sound work via AUX. you can watch this video to learn how the sound of android screen working the car : ua-cam.com/video/1s_9pJKAMz4/v-deo.html
Guys, I found the issue. In android car settings, remove T-Link app from „Default Navigation App”. You can’t actually de-select it, so just choose something else, I selected „photos” randomly. Now I can hear caller through car speakers using carplay
How to set separate volume setting for music and navigation in carplay? When I set music lower volume, siri and navigation volume is also low. I want navigation to be louder than music. I have already set in my iphone map app to speak louder but there is no difference in sound from my bmw. I also try your instruction in the video set everything to max volume but doesn't work. Can you help please?
Like others in the group, the audio works in the carplay function, the original radio is in aux but at the time of the call the audio of the call does not sound in the unit
If you using external CarPlay box , there is a setting “ compatible “ in settings, the path is : setting / advance settings/call audio properties. If you using the built in CarPlay (Zlink), to check if your seller offered you a small speaker, if you installed the speaker correctly.

It need to check in details. Like 1, if you have moved the optical fiber to new harness, 2, if you have connected the USB/ AUX adapter,3 the NTG 5.0 , it need to choose USB/ aux in original car menu first ( before you using the android screen). It need to check in details

You can check if your iPhone connected to original car Bluetooth or not , if yes, disconnect it ( or disable the connection to OEM Bluetooth), CarPlay not allow to connect to Bluetooth at the same time .
@@HifimaxOfficial thanks but not connected to OEM Bluetooth - only connected to Android unit (CarPlay). I hear phone calls for one second then stops. If I switch phone to speaker, then back to CarPlay (Zlink) Bluetooth I hear for 1 second again then stops 🤷♂️
@@seanvision1 , Just few more question: 1) You confirm that you using "built-in " Carplay ? or using external carplay (autokit)? they are different. 2) Also, does your car has a middle speaker? did the seller offered a small speaker?

maybe your phone connected to Bluetooth at that time, when using Carplay, it not allow to use Bluetooth at the same time, please check the Bluetooth connection ...
Hi Paul, when connected to CarPlay wireless (via zlink) I’d have to manually change the audio output from android Bluetooth to oem bluetooth on my phone to be able to hear the other party on a call. No issues when playing music. Any suggestions?
You might connected the phone to original BT at the same time, thus, it have this issue. The Carply not allow to use BT at the same time. If your phone connected to Carplay and when a call coming, you are using Carplay function (like listening the music), it work fine? according to my test, no need to change the audio in the cellphone. Because in that time, the AUX is actived (you using Carplay). If your phone connected to Carplay, but you are not in Carplay mode, for example, you using original radio FM, and a call coming, you pick up the phone, it might no audio, since the AUX not actived. The Carplay (music / phone calls etc), the sound work via factory AUX.
Everything about CarPlay is great and works wonderfully. I love it except when I use the phone when I use the calling feature the other party here’s a terrible echo of their own voice. I tried everything to fix it, and nothing works. The only way it works is if I disconnect CarPlay and let Bluetooth connect and then there’s no more echo so I don’t know if it’s software or if it’s in the USB cord but if I connect to a wirelessly with that maybe fix the problem would you know have you dealt with this before?
@@jaredpoling3123 I have this too, did you find a solution? I saw on my phone that is connected to something called "localhost" instead of the BT of the unit. If i dont use Carplay but use the BT unit calling everything works fine. Also i can see the headunit BT on my phone as a audio output source instead of "localhost", so seems like my Carplay is broken like yours.
The table mic sucks alot for phone call , is there a way i can connect my iphone 14 pro with usb to car play/ zlink?

Thanks for the video in my Android everything looks good except I can’t hear incoming calls I can call back but the person who calling me l can not hear. Any ideas what is the problem.Thanks
If the phone connected to CarPlay, but that time , you using other original functions, such as using CD functions ( original car function), and the AUX-IN not activated, in that case, a call coming, you might not heard the calls, because the Auxiliary is not work ( although your phone connected to CarPlay), in this video, I suggest to choose AUX, you can test it after selected the AUX ( and volume up).
Also, you should check the Microphone. Our model is built in MIC , according to our test, that is good enough. If you hook the external microphone to it, the built in microphone will not work, then you should well install the external microphone ( locate it near to driver’s head).
I had a professional installer put in my new head unit. No sound will come through the speakers. The AUX/AMI is grayed out so it cannot be switched. Any ideas why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. I was able to connect phone and everything shows on screen but still not sound.
Notice , your phone just connect to CarPlay only , do not connect to original Bluetooth at the same time. When playing music in android screen ( instead of CarPlay), the android music has sound?
Same issue, car play is connected to the device, sound is coming on the device, but not on the speakers of the car. Please answer this, do I need to connect the device bluetooth and the car’s bluetooth from the same phone, I do not understand should I connect two devices( that is carplay device and original Bluetooth of the car) with one phone, does this function possible, connect two devices via Bluetooth? Please let me know…. Thank you.
Zlink does not allow connecting to bluetooth after you have connected to carplay or android auto. But bluetooth is used for calls in both carplay and AA. We are unable to make calls from car speaker and microphone after connecting via zlink. Is there any way to fix this?

i bought a screen for my acura TLX 2015 and when i got it installed, the original car stereo would not turn off when i take the key out of the ignitions, also i was not getting sound from my android head unit. also the back up camera function did not work
Does the Android Carplay work if your car doesn't have any AUX installed - my car only has USB and Bluetooth I just found out. I just had the new Android system installed in my Mercedes CLA and the only way I have been able to get audio to work is by connecting my iphone using original car bluetooth. Then I can go to Android Carplay using ZLINK and it works but I need to manually reconnect constantly switching between original system and android system which is so frustrating. Also my reverse camera only works in original car system mode! Is there any way around all this? I'm seriously thinking of taking this system out but it cost me so much already!!! Please any help is much appreciated..... Daniel
For Mercedes NTG 4.5 Or 4.0, the sound work via AUX, If your car is NTG 5.0, The sound work via USB (should not work via Bluetooth), our model is this design, since I don't know your model, you can contact your seller directly. the camera is just the setting issue.
@@HifimaxOfficial Thanks for your response. My system is NTG 5.0 - so does that mean I need to connect my iphone using USB cable? So it won't be wireless is that right? Is there any config involved as I connected it via USB and still no sound. Appreciate your help...
@@DanielMorog no, i mean the sound for android screen, no only for carplay, when you play music in android menu, the sound go through USB to original MB sound system.
@@HifimaxOfficial I'm not fully understanding - can you please send me instructions on what you mean? I don't understand what I need to do in order to get sound working in Android.

I didn’t met this problem yet . Both google maps and Spotify apps are installed in Android screen? Or you installed this two apps in cell phone and using Apple CarPlay ( in CarPlay mode )?
Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. There are many other Android users heaving the same issue as me. Both apps (Spotify aand Google maps) are installed on the Android unit and on my phone. The problem occurs when my phone is connected wired or wireless with Android Auto on my unit.

You can check the volume settings for calls , in android settings; also, you can go to settings and have a reset for “ wifi Bluetooth mobile “ and try again; also, you can test if you using the Bluetooth ( instead of CarPlay), to see if that is in normal sound level. Since the Bluetooth and CarPlay using the same sound channel, if Bluetooth work fine , then you consider to update the Zlink version

This case, you need to check if you have well connected the AUX or AMI cable , and if have chosen "AUX or AMI " in OEM menu, the sound for android screen work via AUX or AMI. Better to check your case with your seller, other people hard to know the details when you say so.
Do you know the password for android auto 12 factory options? It's for a bmw 328xi 2007, I'm currently installing it, everything is plugged in and no sound
I have a different error. It connects to carplay all good, then maybe it loses connection and I am not able to connect again using Bluetooth. Only was is to stop car wait 10 seconds for the android unit to stop and then start again the car and it will connect back. strange
You can check: if your phone also connected to OEM Bluetooth or other third party wireless devices. If yes , you can disconnect ( or disable) it . The phone should connect to CarPlay ONLY.

The table mic sucks alot for phone call , is there a way i can connect my iphone 14 pro with usb to car play/ zlink? I used to have an android, and was able to use to OEM bluetooth for media(calls and music) and usb for androiiauto with zlink, and worked just fine. so wonder if you have a solution for connecting iphone with zlink
Our model, the iPhone is support wireless and wired connection for Apple CarPlay.
@@HifimaxOfficial even with the newest IOS ?
@@oovoo1995 my iphone 12 with iOS 16.1.2, we test here all no problems at all.
Thanks for the video in my Android everything looks good except I can’t hear incoming calls I can call back but the person who calling me l can not hear. Any ideas what is the problem.Thanks
If the phone connected to CarPlay, but that time , you using other original functions, such as using CD functions ( original car function), and the AUX-IN not activated, in that case, a call coming, you might not heard the calls, because the Auxiliary is not work ( although your phone connected to CarPlay), in this video, I suggest to choose AUX, you can test it after selected the AUX ( and volume up).
Also, you should check the Microphone. Our model is built in MIC , according to our test, that is good enough. If you hook the external microphone to it, the built in microphone will not work, then you should well install the external microphone ( locate it near to driver’s head).
Thanks, this really worked for me. Only issue i have is the sound while calling. I cant hear te others, they sound like robots
hello, i have the same system of carplay. but with android phones i only have half picture size, can you help me
In the setting of Zlink, you can check , there is a setting call "HD", the default is "OFF", you can take a check.
I had a professional installer put in my new head unit. No sound will come through the speakers. The AUX/AMI is grayed out so it cannot be switched. Any ideas why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. I was able to connect phone and everything shows on screen but still not sound.
Notice , your phone just connect to CarPlay only , do not connect to original Bluetooth at the same time. When playing music in android screen ( instead of CarPlay), the android music has sound?
Same issue,
car play is connected to the device, sound is coming on the device, but not on the speakers of the car.
Please answer this, do I need to connect the device bluetooth and the car’s bluetooth from the same phone,
I do not understand should I connect two devices( that is carplay device and original Bluetooth of the car) with one phone, does this function possible, connect two devices via Bluetooth?
Please let me know….
Thank you.
Does this only work for iOS? Im having trouble getting ZLink working with my Android. My friend's iphone works flawlessly
Both android and iPhone can work . Android is Android auto : ua-cam.com/video/v7ctmO3tKoc/v-deo.htmlsi=uRMGid3bMfnA7ZV3
Zlink does not allow connecting to bluetooth after you have connected to carplay or android auto. But bluetooth is used for calls in both carplay and AA. We are unable to make calls from car speaker and microphone after connecting via zlink. Is there any way to fix this?
if can call in Carplay or AA menu
Hi, CarPlay dongle works well on my android head unit except very low mic volume, I turned it to maximum in developer mode and made no change, is there a solution, thanks!
CarPlay dongle itself without microphone, the volume for calls , it should to check the volume settings for android screen.
i bought a screen for my acura TLX 2015 and when i got it installed, the original car stereo would not turn off when i take the key out of the ignitions, also i was not getting sound from my android head unit. also the back up camera function did not work
you better ask your supplier directly, different car model, they are different situation.
Does the Android Carplay work if your car doesn't have any AUX installed - my car only has USB and Bluetooth I just found out. I just had the new Android system installed in my Mercedes CLA and the only way I have been able to get audio to work is by connecting my iphone using original car bluetooth. Then I can go to Android Carplay using ZLINK and it works but I need to manually reconnect constantly switching between original system and android system which is so frustrating. Also my reverse camera only works in original car system mode! Is there any way around all this? I'm seriously thinking of taking this system out but it cost me so much already!!! Please any help is much appreciated..... Daniel
For Mercedes NTG 4.5 Or 4.0, the sound work via AUX, If your car is NTG 5.0, The sound work via USB (should not work via Bluetooth), our model is this design, since I don't know your model, you can contact your seller directly. the camera is just the setting issue.
@@HifimaxOfficial Thanks for your response. My system is NTG 5.0 - so does that mean I need to connect my iphone using USB cable? So it won't be wireless is that right? Is there any config involved as I connected it via USB and still no sound. Appreciate your help...
@@DanielMorog no, i mean the sound for android screen, no only for carplay, when you play music in android menu, the sound go through USB to original MB sound system.
@@HifimaxOfficial I'm not fully understanding - can you please send me instructions on what you mean? I don't understand what I need to do in order to get sound working in Android.
Everything on mine works apart from the phone calls the line is filled with static and the caller cannot hear me and the person who I got it installed from is not responding to texts or phone calls any thoughts??
Your car type is BMW? Built in CarPlay or external CarPlay? They are different
@@HifimaxOfficial yes BMW but it is external CarPlay
Hi Mate. I tried to reset my android head unit and I was able to connect to zlink app via usb. BTW mine is an Android 10 px6 zwnav head unit. When I was able to connect to zlink, I have no sound coming out of my head unit. How can I fix it? Thanks

Hello. In my Audi Q5, when I connect my phone to Android car, the voice from Google Maps and Spotify music works, as soon as I hear Google Maps, Spotify mutes itself and doesn't turn up the volume anymore. Is there a solution to this? Thanks
I didn’t met this problem yet . Both google maps and Spotify apps are installed in Android screen? Or you installed this two apps in cell phone and using Apple CarPlay ( in CarPlay mode )?
Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. There are many other Android users heaving the same issue as me. Both apps (Spotify aand Google maps) are installed on the Android unit and on my phone. The problem occurs when my phone is connected wired or wireless with Android Auto on my unit. At the start is fine, music plays but when Google maps say command the Spotify mutes and doesn't play music anymore. I have just one Bluetooth connection with Android Auto only. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks
Hello, the sound does not go out during the phone call when the vehicle is connected to the car. ( Bmw F20 )
Yes , thus , your phone should just connect to CarPlay only , don’t connect to OEM Bluetooth.
Hello I cannot figure out how to turn down the spoken directions from Siri when using Apple Maps with zlink CarPlay.
Hi, did you find solution ?
@@babadiop8014 I switched to Waze and they have a setting on the app that allows you to turn the voice down.

Hi my WiFi for some reason turns on and off and doesn’t work how can I fix so I can use other apps like UA-cam
When you using built in CarPlay (Zlink), the Android WiFi will turn to off automatically. If you like to connect the Android screen to internet always, recommend use the 4G LTE

Hii i have a problem with zlink
When i connect my iphone to zlink and if someone call me then the ringtone sound automatically maximize and all sound starts coming from left side of sound in maxium volume i try by my own but not solved plzz tell me the solution how to fix it and one more thing when i pick the phone after that caller voice also come in maxium volume plz tell me the solution
You can check the volume settings for calls , in android settings; also, you can go to settings and have a reset for “ wifi Bluetooth mobile “ and try again; also, you can test if you using the Bluetooth ( instead of CarPlay), to see if that is in normal sound level. Since the Bluetooth and CarPlay using the same sound channel, if Bluetooth work fine , then you consider to update the Zlink version

Cześć
Mam problem z moim zLink
Z dnia na dzień nagle przestał lecieć głos gdy puszczę UA-cam czy Spotify , ale gdy obieram połączenie lub słucham komunikatów Google Maps wszystko działa , problem jest wtedy kiedy chce włączyć muzykę z YT czy Spotify nie leci głos mimo że jest play na ekranie .
Zauważyłem ze działa tylko wtedy kiedy przywrócę ustawienia fabryczne ale tylko do zgaszenia samochodu i ekranu potem znów nie działa do ponownego resetu ustawień .
Mogę nagrać film żebyś wiedział o co chodzi dokładnie
Proszę o pomoc
I just can read English

I have a problem with my zLink/Android
From day to day, the voice suddenly stopped flying when I play UA-cam or Spotify, but when I pick up a call or listen to Google Maps messages, everything works, the problem is when I want to turn on music from YT or Spotify, there is no voice even though there is play on the screen.
I noticed that it works only when I restore the factory settings, but only until the car and the screen are turned off, then it does not work again until the settings are reset.
I can record a video so you know exactly what's going on
Please help
@@ptychucelebryta1636 your phone also connect to Bluetooth ? (android bluetooth or Car OEM bluetooth), carplay is not allow to use Bluetooth at the same time.

I get no sound from GPS, but everything else works fine.
I have a Audi a5 3G. I can’t get any sound or make phones calls unless I plug in.. even when I put a app on the system itself and ply through that instead of CarPlay I still get nothing
This case, you need to check if you have well connected the AUX or AMI cable , and if have chosen "AUX or AMI " in OEM menu, the sound for android screen work via AUX or AMI. Better to check your case with your seller, other people hard to know the details when you say so.
I have usb because i have evo sistem, i select usb mode but still no sound, what can i do?
You need to check if your phone also connected to OEM bluetooth, Carplay NOT allow to use Bluetooth at the same time.

I have a different error. It connects to carplay all good, then maybe it loses connection and I am not able to connect again using Bluetooth. Only was is to stop car wait 10 seconds for the android unit to stop and then start again the car and it will connect back. strange
You can check: if your phone also connected to OEM Bluetooth or other third party wireless devices. If yes , you can disconnect ( or disable) it . The phone should connect to CarPlay ONLY.
Hello, i tried to do it, but nox my screen is stuck on bt pair, i cant do anything. I cant even use the i drive.
You can reset the Bluetooth; but if the idrive also not work , that is other issues. Contact your supplier for support
