The Camry 2019 came with Apple CarPlay only, with the CarLinKit 4.O it can run Android Auto and it's wireless
I was looking for this comment, So you have only apple carplay and with this device you able to connect your android phone too with android auto , is it working fine with android phone?
@@deemapaki Yes, and yes. It is the only fix I know to get Android Auto to work great on a AppleCarPlay only unit. Get the CarLink 4 not the 5 because they made some changes, and not sure if 5 will work or not.
I received my Carlinkit 4.0 about two weeks ago. I bought it following some very interesting reviews. I don't think I'm a technophobe, in fact I have a diploma in IT so, normally, I'm able to understand what I'm buying. The adverts, the reviews and so on are all showing Netflix and UA-cam being played. I can't say for sure that the 4.0 is "specifically" shown as being able to play Netflix and UA-cam but, I really thought that it would from everything I'd seen. If you look down through the reviews here, I'm not the only one who thought it would have this functionality. It doesn't!!! Having said that, it does play Android Auto in my car very well, no connectivity issue, hardly any lag when I connected using the short wire that came with it. There was a greater lag when I used the longer wire that I had been using to plug in prior to getting this device. So, my own fault, suck it up?? I suppose so...... Just don't buy this if you're expecting it to play Netflix or UA-cam. If I'm wrong about this, please, please correct me and show me what to do.
Thought that too but apparently it is a different mode which can play youtube etc, its the flatter rounder black one
@@j800qso this one doesnt work with netflix or youtube videos on the screen?
All that this model does is make the OEM wired Apple CarPlay into wireless. It also adds wireless Android Auto to cars with only wired AC available. No stock AC or AA allows for UA-cam or Netflix videos to be played. You would need a stand-alone Android box that works independently from your phone in order to watch UA-cam or Netflix. That dongle would then need a hotspot connection from your phone for data.
Yeah, I understand that, thank you. I've since bought a TBox and have all the functionality I wanted in the first place. My point really was that I found the advertising, particularly on Instagram, somewhat misleading or confusing. Ordinarily I'd say, "that's just me" but, looking at other comments, I'm far from alone. @@1980baboon
I recently purchased this product. My car (Opel Astra K - 2018 model) has wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The CarLinkIt 4.0 connects to the car as if it were an Apple Carplay device, which the car recognizes. But when I then connect my Samsung phone to the CarLinkit via bluetooth, the car's display gets confused and keeps flashing. With an iPhone, it works fine. Not so for Android smartphones.
Just as a comparison, I connected my Samsung phone DIRECTLY to the car via USB cable, and Android Auto starts up and works perfectly fine.
Hi, try go to your phone settings, developer options, look for Bluetooth AVRCP, if it is 1.4, set it to 1.5 and connect with Carlinkit again. I have another carlinkit product, and it would not connect with my OnePlus 7 Bluetooth. In the end I figured out the AVRCP version is the culprit.
Hi, did the advice from @Loh Chin Seng help?
Go inside setting and set startup delay to 2 second. It will resolve start up won’t connect issue
My car is Prius Prime 2021 and it have Factory Wired Car Play and Wire Android Auto. Will this work and make it Wireless?
Hello! Thank you for your support of this video and our product. As your car has factory wired carplay, so it can work with our carlinkit 4.0. You can use our carlinkit 4.0 for making your
car wired carplay to wireless. more quesitons please kindly contact us at: support@carlinkitcarplay.com or contact us on facebook : facebook.com/carlinkitcarplayofficial .Thank you!
can u also play netflix/youtube on the rear screen/monitor at same tine you’re playing it on the front screen??
not with Carplay
It seems to work better with car play than Android auto
What do you do if the screen stays on "Connecting..." status? Worked fine the first time for like 10 minutes and then freezes on startup every time I connect it again!!😱😱
I bought this devise, once I set it up seems to work ok. But when I turned the car OFF turn it back on again it took almost 2 minutes to reconnect. Not worth the $98 I paid for. I'll just stick with USB plug in, it's faster, easer no fuss, no worries.
Same issue here. For some reason, when i remove it from the system and then plugit again, it works right away.
@@brabecjakub return that shit.
Same problem here, but it never reconnects, I have to reset it
Work's with bout? Android and Apple? works for seen Netflix , you tube, etc?
can you leave this in the car even when it's in high heat?
Only down fall android isn't a dedicated choice it gets boot legged through Apple carplay so everything's delayed.....I have a Samsung and wife has a iPhone works almost perfect for her carplay but sometimes won't switch to the one we want when both phones in car you have to keep clicking which phone you want to connect too and sometimes just unplug it and plug back in haven't found out how to disconnect from a phone on the screen or go back to the carlink home screen if it's already on carplay either
I have a 2019 Impala premier. I bought the 4.0 and when I plug in the device for set up nothing appears on the car monitor after the red light turns on, on the device. Any ideas please?
Hi I am torn between Carlinkit 4.0 and 5.0. Is there any difference between audio quality between wired android auto and wireless android auto with spotify? Thanks in advance
Any idea how to change connection to another phone?
Or is it possible to add 2 phones and switch freely
I bought one for my Jaguar and it works brilliantly I then bought one foe a Mitsubishi L200 S5 Barbarian and it wont connect any thoughts
I have Android phone, but my car supports only Apple Carplay. Is this device converts Apple Carplay to Android auto?
Yes.
I just got mine and it sadly dosent work. I have a 2019 doge charger sxt with a samsung galixy s9 edge and on my charger screen its all pixalated with green and white and pink pixals and I cant control or see anything
I have an old interface of Volkswagen, I wonder if it will still work on my device. I’m curious..
will my iPhone automatically connect to bluetooth without me manually doing so each time?
YES
alle vorgänger modelle liefen nicht fehlerfrei am Golf 8? Wie ist es jetzt? kann man endlich telefonieren damit ,wird man gehört? Siri,Sprachsteuerung? greetz Tom
It will connect to rav4 2020??
In my screen show apple car play only
I have built an android radio in my opel corsa myself, can I still use this to make my android radio into CarPlay?
Is there a model I can buy for devices that don't have car play from the factory?
Purchased same model but does not pair with my geely azkarra 2021. A previous model worked.
I received carlinkit but I can’t use the youtube, any advice?
does it affect the sound quality? People were also saying that it makes your screen look washed out vs wired carplay.
My cara in said mirrorlink your device yes connect my car ?
You can download app on this device.?
I received the Carlinkit 4.0 today. I tested it first in my Nissan, and it worked perfectly. I then move it to my 2020 Subaru Outback, which is where I intend to use it so that I can emulate CarPlay and use my Android phone for full screen Android Auto.
The unit linked properly via Bluetooth, I was presented with the "Authorize Car Play" screen, and also the Carlinkit screen showing connection being made to my phone. The CarPlay icon appeared on my screen as expected. Everything seemed to be good. However, when I click on the CarPlay icon literally nothing happens on my screen. I am not taken to CarPlay - nothing. The link is active and in full color, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thank you.
Start by updating the CarLinkIt firmware. If that doesn’t do it then check to see if you can update the firmware on your car nav.
hi i have a question you car have no apple carplay and it support to have or this is for have good quality only ?
I bought this but there is some question , my car have a bluetooth mic , when I use usb line link android auto , I can use the bt mic to make phone call . When I use the CarLinkIt (wireless Android auto) , the car bt mic will be useless , I can only use the phone's mic to speak. (when usb line link , my phone and car's bt mic both work) , how can I fix it ?
my phone is Pixel 5
car is Hyundai Venue 2020
I have android in my car play not android auto , does it work with that ?
bonjour, j'ai acheter ce produit il fonctionne super bien j'ai une astra k 2016 tout fonctionne parfaitement aucune coupure de son d'image même screen 2 auto fonctionne avec toute les applications très content .
Can you customize the boot up screen?
Can this unit play Netflix or UA-cam?
Can you download other apps to it
Does it have mirror link for iPhone?
I have one of these carlink 4.0 and tried on ldv t60 max 2023, it works well with an iPhone however with an Android phone, its work until the safety and reverse camera comes on the off the whole screen turned in to green, does any one have this issue or have resolve this bug?
My carlinkit 4.0 literally 9/10 times runs terribly slow like 5 second delay to button press and moving maps around takes ages and freezes. THEN 1/10 it works great smooth connection runs well all buttons have half a second delay all apps after pressed open straight away. WHY IS THIS!!!! 😭😅
Mine is the same. But sometimes the delay is like 30 seconds during which time I have pressed the screen lots of times and then it all happens at once!! I can’t use it like that
If the car does not have CarPlay, is this piece useful by converting the radio screen to CarPlay?
No, that’s not how it works.
beautiful review
Does it support 2021 prado?
1- can it connect both with wire and wireless?
2- does it have it own sound system? Because the prado sound system is very low
3- does it interrupt the rear camera when putting car in R?
Hi! LyenFamily, Thank your interest in the IST review video of our product!
If your 2021 Prado has wired factory carplay, then is compatible with our product, regarding your questions, here is our answer for you:
1. it can both be connected with wire and wireless, but our product advantage is making wired carplay wireless, it can improve your driving experience.
2. it hasn't own sound system, the sound quality depends on the stereo system of your car.
3, It doesn't interrupt the rear camera when you reverse your car,
For more information please kindly contact our service team: support@carlinkitcarplay.com
we will reply to your questions and provide recommendations!
Thank you!
@@carlinkitcarplaycom6649 regarding the questions,
1- i know that some devices won’t work properly when connected wirelessly so thats why i asked if it is applicable with both wire and wireless in case wireless doesn’t work.
2- that’s I understand but inside the device there is no sound system to increase the treble or the bass maybe?
Thank you very much for answering our questions. 👍🏼
@@LyenFamily We appreciate your support of the IST channel and our brand! it is our pleasure to answer your questions.
Our device as a adapter, doesn't have a function to improve the sound quality, thank you for your understanding! Learn more about our products please visit our website: carlinkitcarplay.com/ Thank you!
Can it work in audi a6 2014 in its original screen ?
Hi! Thank you for your interest in this video and our product, do you have factory wired carplay, if yes,then our product can fits your car.
More questions please contact us at email: support@carlinkitcarplay.com Thank you!
Hi there, I'm having problems with the device. It's boring into Apple mode and I have an Android phone. It continually wants to stay in Apple mode. Any suggestions?
Just a couple comments above yours was someone who had the same problem, someone gave advice. Hopefully it works. “Hi, try go to your phone settings, developer options, look for Bluetooth AVRCP, if it is 1.4, set it to 1.5 and connect with Carlinkit again. I have another carlinkit product, and it would not connect with my OnePlus 7
Bluetooth. In the end I figured out the AVRCP version is the culprit.”
My cable broke to coneect the Carlink to my car and I tried using another different one and it won't connect anymore. The interface doesn't show up either.
Hi! Carlos Sosa, Thank you for your interest in this video, from your description, maybe the connection issue comes from cable, did you use our original cable, our products have a length limit requirement for better transmitting data. If you already use our Carlinkitcarplay original cable, the connection error still happens please kindly contact our service team for technical support at: support@carlinkitcarplay.com or contact us on Facebook : facebook.com/carlinkitcarplayofficial .Thank you!
Hello . Thanks for your great videos . I have a Carlin kit 4.0 installed . Its working great so far . The only issue I’m having is that it says it will disconnect me from Carlin CarPlay if I join my car’s WiFi hotspot? Is there a way around this ? Thanks v much again
There’s no way around it. If you are having connectivity issues, I suggest upgrading ur phone plan. That would solve your issue
I got the same dongle, but Apple Music sound doesn’t come. I see the music is playing in the app , but no sound comes. It’s looks like it’s in mute even though I turn up the volume. Any idea how to fix that?
Please visit www.carlinkitcarplay.com and ask service team for help, or send an email to support@carlinkitcarplay.com
can you use it in a bmw f30?
do you have to connect each time, thought i read once connected should pick up and go next time get in car
Leave the dongle connected, make sure the auto connect setting is on and every time you start the car will auto connect.
@@iSimplifiedTech it connected fine this morning. Now just need to figure why my car needs my phones on Bluetooth. Have android just use via WiFi for maps to show up on my cars hud.
This play video?
works in bmw?
great video
I have a toyota corolla 2019 that came with Apple CarPlay only, no Android Auto. Can I use this with my Android phone and get android Auto or it will only work with an iPhone and CarPlay only? Please let me know. Thanks
HI CHOO, I'm in the same situation the dealer was able to add car play on my 2018 camry but not android auto. So I order one I should get by the 17th & give it a try.. keep u inf.
@@jesusagosto6592 can You tell this is works for You? Do You have performance issues?
@@arturgacek I tried to connect it once it arrived but I can't. But I tried again 2 days later n it work with my samsung s22 ultra. It will connect but from carplay platform. Sometimes it will connect quickly but sometimes take take longer. Always keep wife on n make sure Bluetooth is not connect with you head unit Bluetooth. Cuz it won't find the carlinkit. Something very important on your android auto app check all setting I was able to enable a setting that was the moment that connect to the carlinkit.
It work I was about to give up n return it the first day I got it. 2 day later I tried again n it work. Make sure Bluetooth is not connect to your head unit. On the android auto app there is a setting that you need to enable. Like I said now that I can connect it sometimes connect quick sometime take time. Sometime I need to open Bluetooth n press the carlinkit to look for it.
Are you sure that you don't have Android Auto? In Europe we ( I have) for Corolla both systems
Man, i have a question: i'm brazilian and my chevrolet onix don't have ANY android connection. Just carplay, with cable (no Bluetooth).
So, do you know i can use my android samsung s20 with carlinkit to share my phone screen?
If you have carplay you have android auto, check your setting in the vehicle and make sure AA is on and maybe turn CarPlay off if u don’t use it
@@michaelreyes9997 not guaranteed with gm. My 2016 volt came with carplay but aa was a later software update which the previous owner never had done.
@@SweetLou0523 I was referring to current models, if it’s an older model car how could you expect to have the latest additions
I think your best options are probably that the car came with an Aux input thats probably the extent of what else is available
Or go see if you can get an update at the dealership but I wouldn’t expect your dash to become the 2.0 version with bells and whistles tho
What about UA-cam and Netflix? Can you watch that as well?
This dongle is just for wireless connection. You can watch UA-cam if your iPhone is jailbroken. I’ve made a bunch of videos about how to watch UA-cam and Netflix in the car.

Did anyone use this on 2020 Kia Sorento with no issues?
Will this work in mercedes 2014 e250
If you have wired carplay
my car has to have an apple car play to connect with this. I am wondering I want to buy this so I can have apple car in my screen. My car in infinity q30 2019
If your car has CarPlay and you can connect it with your iPhone through USB then this will make it so you don’t have to connect it through USB. If your car has no CarPlay at all then this is not working for you.
How about call quality?
Horrible lag
Es funktioniert nicht bei Audi (TT 8s 100%), glauben Sie dem Scherz nicht.
Hi! Viktorius, thank you for your interest in the IST review video and our product. Audi TT is on our compatible list, once you have wired factory carplay, then our product can work with your car .

My personal opinion ...a useless piece of junk. Received mine today after watching many reviews. Constantly freezes, connection drops constantly (every few minutes) requiring removal of usb connection to reset. Initially thought it may be my phone, so got my wife to try it with her new iPhone 14 max she got yesterday. Same issues. Then thought maybe it was my Car so tried 3 different cars this afternoon...same issues
Have you tried to update the firmware? There is always updates.
@@iSimplifiedTech … yes tried that. I have found using the usb pass though is one of the problems, Google maps is the other. If I avoid these two things it works reasonably well. No problems with TomTom or Apple Maps, but Google maps and us USB pass through just kills it
Isn’t the usb pass through just for charging? Or does it make it wired CarPlay?
Purchased the same model. won't work with android. Don't get fooled
Horrible device. Doesn’t automatically reconnect.
There has to be something better than this crap, something that actually works for everyone. seems like most everyone is having different types of issues , hummmm, not worth than 20 bucks .
My camry 2018 old shape don’t have apple carplay or android auto .. this device can help me ?? Or will support that system?
No, you need to have a wired Car Play first
