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!

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?

Has anyone seen any compatibility info with the 6P and Android Auto? I am sure there should be none, but I don't know if the USB-C would make a difference. I haven't seen any Android Auto info at all for the new Nexus models.
Thx!
Doubt it would matter, USB is backwards compatible if it's micro you would just need an adapter.

Should hopefully work like normally, I'm gonna be using the USB-C to USB-A cable that comes in box for my car for Android Auto. Hopefully it works without any issues otherwise this would be a huge over site by Google and a huge deal-breaker for me because no way I'm not driving around with Android Auto (it has completely changed my commutes.)

I agree. Android Auto makes my long commute that much bearable. Now that Amazon Prime Music works with Auto too? Sweet

How's it worked out so far for you? I have no issues, so far so good. Always good to hear from other AA users since there aren't too many of us out there (yet)
Mine works fine using the cable I bought from Google.

Ive had no issues so far! Its been amazing! Ive just been using the USB-C to USB-A cable that came with the 6P. Its the perfect length for this kinda thing!
I haven't had any problem at all. That short adapter cable is the perfect size for this. I just bought another, longer cable to use at home.

Same here. I had my installer put the USB port in where the cigarette lighter plug was (I had two of these on my dash). So I bought a Brodit Proclip mount and the short USB OEM cable works great
What do you guys choose for a USB option when you plug in your device? I tried all the options and my car and AA app don't seem to recognize. Will try a new cable this afternoon.

That's not true. I'm using a USB A to C cable I ordered from Google and it works fine on a 4100NEX.
Thanks for the responses.
It ended up being a setting on my headunit that was incorrect. It was set by default to use MirrorLink and not Android Auto, switched it up and now works perfectly! :good:
Would like to reopen this discussion as I'm buying a VW Golf TSI 2016 that has a factory installed Android Auto unit. I tried it at the dealership and it was a pain to initially connect my N6P with original USB-C to USB-A cable. It did eventually work but I had to turn on debugging, remove my lock screen pattern/security (unit in the car was saying the phone was locked and it couldn't access it but it wasn't?) ... It ultimately worked but it was a pain to setup really (took over 10 minutes). And then Maps and phone worked, Google Music wouldn't had to unplug, force close Google Music and then replug and it worked ... I tried it in a 2016 Honda Civic too while shopping and fumbled around for 20+ minutes to get it to connect ; no luck. It bluetooth paired but it was like I hadn't plugged anything in the USB port.
Of note ; in both case I compared with iPhones/Car Play : plug it in and within 3 to 5 seconds, everything is setup.
I'd be curious to see if anyone here has experience with 2016 VWs and how easy (or hard) it is to get it to connect? If I have to fumble around in the settings for a few minutes everytime I get in the car, that's a major bummer. Will try again tonight before signing paperwork.

Sounds like an issue with VW. My Android Auto (non-VW), set up fine. And to this day, I can use Android Auto without disabling my pattern lock.

Ok so ended up buying the VW and Android Auto took some time to setup the first time around but nothing as painful as when I was at the dealership. So far, 98% of the time I plugged my phone in Android Auto started within 5 seconds or so. On 2 occasions it failed to launch. One time it was kind of stuck in a loop where it would connect via Bluetooth, disconnect, try to connect via USB, fail, reconnect via Bluetooth, disconnect (and start over again endlessly). I had to unplug it and restart the car for it to work but that happened only once so...
Everything works flawlessly and is well integrated with the VW infotainment system (Google Maps voice instructions will play on top of FM radio or Sirius XM and only lower the volume of whatever is playing a tadbit, I actually did not expect that (I was expecting the sound to cut completely and then come back once Google Maps is done telling me XYZ instruction)).
2016 Kia Optimia & N6P Connection Issues
Hello,
I have a new 2016 Kia Optima and I'm been fooling around with this for 2 weeks and I can't get it connected. Here's what I've done.
-tried different cables which includes the short one that was shipped with the unit
- factory reset of the device
- turned degging off and on
- uninstalled the android app
- turned wireless off and removed the connection (that's what the Kia rep told me to do)
The only thing that I get when connected it the options to choose what to do when connected via USB. I've toggle all of them and have toggled the off and on ADD new cars to android auto button till I'm blue in the face.
Right now I'm all out for suggestions. Does anyone have any idea? It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

I'm having the same problem. Will try that and report back.
Had to do a factory reset on my headunit because it wouldn't boot. After factory reset the mirroring app is gone. Contacted support and they let me know once it has been reset, it's too late. Can someone try backing the app up to an APK and uploading to see if I can use it?
I can do it for ya tomorrow.

The mirror app has not gone (only the shortcut from jeg desktop has gone) you just have to install it again from the OEM icon on the units desktop. Select the OEM icon, select APK and find the Easyconnect app in the listing. Push it to install it.

W.... Wow. I contacted the customer support and they said "Once the unit has been factory reset you will not be able to use the connect function anymore"
Thank you, gentleman and scholar! It does not want to see to want to connect to my phone but I'll chalk that up to the program being buggy and needing a different USB cable.

They say the same on their homepage (that its gone after reset) - but we know better
BTW i haven't succeeded either in connecting my iPhone using the connect function. No big deal, I can't se what i would use it for. Almost any program i could think of mirroring to the unit can be installed directly on the unit, so why bother with mirroring

FWIW, the EasyConnected app doesn't work with iOS 9 AirPlay mirroring (same as most other third party mirroring apps).
If you are looking for an alternative, Splashtop's Mirroring 360 works well for me on my Joying HU.

Yes it is, and it is working:good:
Can you confirm either installing from the OEM folder, or the download worked? I want to install malaysk ROM, but I have the same issue, need the mirroring, and now joying have also responded "fac reset will erase license and you only get 1". I really dont get this approach, they shpuld give better info, but anyway, hoping you had an update on this.
Also, how well does it work overall? I am just getting started, so any heads up would be great.
I had the Easy Connect app working fine with my phone prior to installing Malaysk's ROM. After reinstalling Easy Connect, I had my phone connect once, then the HU told me that the cable was bad, and now I cannot connect at all (Keep getting 0x11 error).
Any suggestions on how to make it work again?
I can now state that installing Malaysk's ROM and reinstalling Easy Connect does work*. I am pleased to say that I have used the screen mirroring to my satisfaction. (But, I cannot say what happened to get it to work, it just kind of happened).
Unfortunately, the phone initially goes into "Drive Mode" which, aside from being annoying, does not allow use of the Head Unit's screen. So, I must fiddle with my phone even longer in order to get out of that mode so I can use the mirroring correctly.
I also have not found a good way to force the phone to be in landscape mode. The one app I found that put it into that mode correctly had issues that interfered with other phone features to such an extent that I decided removing the app was my best option.
*This assumes the phone and Head Unit paired in the first place. My first Head Unit (Single Core) would never pair at all (before or after root).
My phone (HTC M8) just updated to the latest ROM (Marshmallow, maybe), and now Easy Connected does not work. It goes through all the motions, but the Head Until stays dark. Hopefully something changes soon.

Hey everybody i have a problem with Easy connected in Honda connect by HRV and i have an error 0x11 its adb-ec not found not exist. Whats is this?
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 !!!

New firmware update allowing the box application to work in the background.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bym9XrdeViekOTF1VWRoaTlkb1E?usp=sharing
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

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.

MCU update is looking all the time and nothing is happening so I don't know how to update it either.
