The above video is my review, i have it working great with my ownice c200 headunit. the usb seems to register that to the iPhone that it is a CarPlay device. the CarPlay UI apparently is stored and sent from the iPhone its self to the usb dongle and then sent to the android app. the app then sends touch and audio commands back to the usb dongle and then to the iPhone.
i can send photos of the internals of the device to any one who wants and a link to the APK.
MOD EDIT: removed email address and mention of selling head units. XDA is not a place to make money!
great !!!

First Step: updating the CAR PLAY USB DONGLE
Plug in the car play usb dongle on the PC, copy the "update.bin" file under the root of the dongle, no extra file folder and no any operation, just wait for 5 minutes, it will be quit automatically after updating, then pull off the USB dongle.
Second Step: Uninstall the old version ZBOX softare from the car audio, then intall the new one, then it will be ok to work.(With the new APK in the attachment and follow the manual)

The issue you are experiencing with the zbox having 'stage-fright' has to do with the power requirements of the zbox device. Some USB bus' don't provide enough power (or borderline) so functionality is intermittent. If you use a powered USB hub, that provides additional power to the USB ports, you'll have almost no issues.
I have connected a y USB adapter.
Has anyone tried one of these on a PX3 RK3166 head unit?
I have one but cant get it to work.
It connects to the apk but wont connect to the iphone.
Tried the update to firmware and apk, still no joy.
Not sure if i have a faulty dongle or it's a compatibility issue with these head units.
Alibaba seller suggested not enough power on head units usb?
I have the same problem with one of these.....
I have tried three android units now and I still can’t get them to work....
Android 4.4 it says its connect but the iPhone just shows as not found....
The other two are both 6.0.1 and the zbox just shows connecting all the time!
If any one has any help it would greatfully be received..
Or for that matter any software updates.....
Mine is showing apk: 2.1.0
Zbox versions: 2.1.0
Many thanks and kind regards
Mine works and I have a px3. I updated the device and installed the latest zbox app before I tried it. I would try swapping out cords and making sure they are certified by Apple. The only issue I have with mine is that it cannot be controlled from the steering wheel.

I use a second usb-plug and a y-cable to provide sufficient power to the device.
What do you guys do with regards to phone calls? My phone is obviously paired to the head unit via Bluetooth, so whenever I get a Call, it jumps out of CarPlay/zbox to the Stock phone interface, however the phone still transmits the audio to carplay and not via Bluetooth by default.
How any of you solved that problem?
If you are using CarPlay why do you have Bluetooth paired? Every car I've been in with CarPlay diconnects the phone from Bluetooth.

I have an Eonon GA7157 running a:
CPU: Allwinner R16 1.6GHz Cortex A7 Quad-Core
RAM: SAMSUNG DDR3, 1GB
Storage: 16GB
I have tried App and Firmware 2.x and 3.x. No joy. All I get is "Connecting" when the usb dongle and app is started. It never gets passed this "Connecting..." stage. USB devices like keyboards, mice, USB Flash drives, and even video camera work fine on this headunit. The Zbox Z1 and an OTA tuner don't work for some reason.
I did some more troubleshooting and found out the following: The dongle works perfectly on my PC running Remix. I also tried it on Samsung Table A; on this one, same symptom as the head unit, so I tried using an OTG cable and what do you know, it worked perfectly.
Therefore, I have 2 possible explanations: The headhunt's USB cable needs to be hardwire as OTG or Eonon somehow has decided to block certain type of USB devices that request data asynchronously. Why? I have not clue... I wish I could disable this flag in the OS, but I have not clue where it can be done. My headunit is rooted, so it should be possible in theory.
Hello, could you post pictures of the internals? I'm very curious what's inside the lil dongle. Also: do you still have some of the dongles? haha

Hello,
i've already found some threads about this topic but there is no solution mentioned.
Does anyone have got Android Auto on LG G6 in use?
I've added this feature on my Mercedes CLA (2016) several days ago to use it with my G6 (H870), but my car can't see my phone when i connect it via USB.
My older Moto X Play works fine, but no chance with the G6. Car shows "No Device recognized" on Android Auto screen.
Some people say they've tried another USB cable. I've tried 4 different cables already including the original cable.
Is this a software problem? Custom Rom?
At the moment i'm running stock (V11i-EUR-XX)and don't really want to flash another FW.
I'm on stock not rooted h870 and my jvc android auto headunit recognize the phone. I noticed that sometimes reverse the usb connector does the trick. Also you can try to change the usb connection mode from charge to mass storage or vice versa.
I tested it on a Citroën C4 Picasso and it worked okay. I have the same stock version of G6. I sometimes had to unplug and plug again the USB cable, though, especially when stopping and restarting the car.
Hi i use a small 30cm cabel with it its run by my car, with a normal 1,5m cabel it don't run
Running fine here with original cable and last fulmics ROM.
I wrote to LG support and the answer is very dissapointing. LG told me that the G6 is not officially supported by android auto at the moment.
The problem is till present, my car doesn't see my phone when connected.
Already tried hard reset and also flashed the stock rom again

It is not a phone problem, probably car implementation.
I installed android auto from APK mirror, try different versions to see. In my country android auto is not even available on Google play.
Also lg mirrordrive works, but it is less useful comparing to android auto. In case you car suport it. I have a VW.
No ideas? It seems that the problem isn't even Android Auto. The car Just can't see the phone. It doesn't even that i've connected something. On LG G6 it says only that it's charging, but doesn't ask me what kind of connection i want to use.
Look for shorter (20-30cm) , thicker USB-C cables. The original one doesn't work for me. But one of the short cables works just fine.
Can you tell me the brand/model of your cable?
It connects!!! But only when i connect the phone with an usb hub and the hub with the car. Very strange... And the connection is broken sometimes and reconnect

Can you post picture of your setup (cable / hub)
I have simular problem with my g6 and pioneer radio, works fine with Samsung s6, but with g6 device not reconised
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-H870 met Tapatalk
For me it connects with original cable and a 1.5 m tronsmart cable from a QC3 charger. Unless the cable it is not damaged , I don't see a problem of with the cable, maybe the usb socket of your car.
Btw LG G6 is in supported android auto devices.
It's just an old simple USB hub by CSL. Found it at home in a box and just tried. As i said it works, but crashes very often.
Cable is this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01F439RB0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_62-TAb2DNH184
With Oneplus 3T it doesn't matter which cable i use, all are working and it also has got USB type C, so the problem can't be the car.
My G6 doesn't work until i use the usb hub between phone and car...
When I bought my LG G6 I bought a short (30cm) usb cable too, and I did not have any problems until one month ago, when I found that with pits on the roads my phone gets disconnected. So i bought 3 new cables, 2 of them short (30cm) and one long (1m) suggested by the community. None of them worked well. One short cable got disconnected after few minutes, and the others 2 (the short and the long cable) didn't connect at all. The long cable works perfectly with a Xiaomi phone on the same car. I tightened the USB adapter of my old cable, maybe it has some bad contacts. Now keeps working, the story continue...
This is the first cable I bought and that worked for several months:
amazon.it/gp/product/B01KHM0EA6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This did not work well from the beggining:
amazon.it/gp/product/B07213KM1L/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Those not worked at all:
amazon.it/gp/product/B071HN4G8P/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
amazon.it/gp/product/B01GN0M6NE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
No problems here, either with my G6 (rooted with Fulmics 4.2, then rooted with stock Oreo), or my wife's G6 (stock Nougat and then Oreo). Both work fine with the standard Skoda head unit in a 2017 Fabia SE. Using a 0.8m Anker cable.
I have an LG G6 connected to a 2018 Ford Edge, AA works fine other than when I make a call or receive a call after hang up my music will not resume playing through the car speakers it plays through the phone speakers, o my way to correct it is by unplugging sub cord from phone then replugging it in and music is then back through car speakers. I hooked up my friends Note8 with my cable and it works fine so it's not the car or the cable it's something with the phone.

I have intermittent issues but works most of the time. Check under 'Developer Options' and make sure USB Debugging is "on." Google updates have changed this setting in the past. Also, make sure you connect AA with cable phone and car BEFORE you start your car. Here is the AA site you need to read over. You can find a lot of issues still ongoing and/or fixed.

Android auto lg g6
We have three different android phones and one Apple phone and Android Auto works flawlessly on all of them except the LG G6. This tells me it’s the LG G6 that’s the problem. Even after LG sent out an OS UPDATE on 9/5/2018 didn’t solve the problem and I’m still on Android 8.0. I called LG and was told they know nothing of any issues. Bye bye LG!
Hi. I've got exactly the same issue. My G6 is 8.0.0 and V20D-HKG-XX version software ¿Have you had lucky finding some solution?
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my android head unit (Android 9, Quad-Core, 2GB RAM, MTCE_GS_V3.30_1) Hal9k mod installed.
I used a Carlinkit CPC200-Autokit PRO wireless Carplay dongle without any problems. One day my iPhone X suddenly stopped connecting to the dongle with the message: Unsupported accessory. I contacted the reseller, but he told me that everything should work fine and there cant be any problem. Then I contacted Carlinkit, they told me the same.
I was really confused about that so I tried to update the dongle with a USB stick result: The dongle is detected by AutoKit app, AutoKit shows: "connecting" the green wheel spinns and the app crashes
So if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know :fingers-crossed:.
But there is a second problem... I bought a new Carplay Dongle Model CPC200-Auto-CA. The problem with this dongle is, its using the AutoPlayBox APK. If you plug in the dongle, the blue LED lights up for a few seconds and thats basicly all. The AutoPlayBox app does not detect the dongle, it only shows: please insert Box into USB port. If you plug in an iPhone it starts charging but in the AutoPlayBox app nothing happens. The pheriphals check in AutoPlayBox app shows that everything is fine, mic, usb etc. everything is detected.
I know this all may sound a bit strange but I hope somebody sends me help. I'm an absolutely beginner in this stuff. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for your help, greetings from germany!
@techjulius
Could it be possible that the sudden stop could be related to any IOS update?
What could help:
Make a factory reset at the head unit and try again. If that does not help... no clue.
The CPC200 needs to get an activated USB-Debugging in developer options. Did you try that?

Thanks for your reply.
There was an iOS and dongle update few days before, after updating everything worked quite well until day X.
I've tried 2 factory resets, but nothing changed. USB-Debugging was enabled all the time.

Then someone else needs to jump in, because my skills about IOS and CarPlay are not that good to give further hints.
I had this happen to me the other day. A reboot on my iPhone fixed the connection issue.
Side note I'm on iOS 14
Super late, but i have the same issue and i can't find a solution anywhere. Did u end up fixing it?

You mean open the head unit and connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the back of the unit? Or you mean something else? Thanks

No, my device (OKNAVI TS10 6+128) and probably every other are supplied with 2 USB cables: 6 and 4 pin. He suggests you to check the one that has 6pin connector plugged to the device.
I also got a problem with my head unit. The device can't see anything plugged to the USB port after it wakes up. What helps in this case is a restart of the device. Everything works until at some point of wake up and sleep cycle it hangs up. Of course I run on the newest firmware and MCU drivers.
Hi, I had to restore the factory settings, after that all the applications on navigation are gone. I can't even install anything because the play store app is gone too. What now? How should I install play store app now ?
hello, I have a window radio vi QT10 4 / 32gb I reset it to the factory settings because the fm radio icon disappeared and I could not find it, now I do not have the google play icon and when I downloaded the google play apk and I want to install it, it pops up that my radio does not support it please contact the manufacturer in the program, but in China they have a new year and holidays, so there is no one to help me. in deeper settings it is forced to stop and close the application as if it was installed but hidden somewhere, please help I bought the radio a week ago but I have no idea how to fix it, does anyone have a link to the new software for this radio and android 11, can it work? MCU update is looking all the time and nothing is happening so I don't know how to update it either.
did anyone come up with the solution? The same happens to me
