Hi guys,
What is the difference between running Android Auto on a Dasaita Max6 PX6 (that does not have the CarPlay dongle built in) using Headunit Reloaded vs. using the CarPlay USB Dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32830020041.html)?
Is the dongle worth buying if I always use android phones?
Thanks!
This is an old post, but I'll answer it for anyone who stumbles upon it later like i did (it comes up pretty high on google).
If all you care about is android auto, and not carplay, I think Head Unit Reloaded is better. It lets you adjust the resolution and dpi, and supports day/night mode. The built in app with the dongle doesn't offer either of these things. HUR can also do wireless if you setup a hotspot.
I bought the Carlinkit Wireless Smart Link CarPlay Dongle
the software runnitng the carplay is AutoKit.
The problem is that I cannot hear the radio while working with the Carplay interface,
Every phone call or sound from the navigation system stop the radio and i need to go back to the home page and start the radio while driving
I have the same setup 3- 8227l demo headunit with carlinkit dongle for wireless and wired carplay. It worked fine when I first set it up, but then started having connection issues and the Autokit app would override the radio. I had updated the carlinkit device and Autokit app to latest versions. I think that was the problem. I uninstalled the latest version of Autokit APK and installed a 2019 version. It now works fine. In the 2019 version the wifi disconnects from carlinkit when I switch the radio on (or shutdown Autokit). In the latest version of Autolink it seems that that Carlinkit dongle would keep trying to reconnect to my phone and then close down the radio. 2019 version seems to run just fine.
@GL350 Same issue here, where dis you find the older APK?
I found it on kayhanaudio.com.au
You will need to be careful to set it so it doesn't autoupdate when the headunit is connected to wifi or its own data source.
I have a Dasaita Max 6 for a 2014 Toyota Corolla. I just updated my iPhone 6 to a iPhone 11 running iOS 15.1. I am unable to get the iPhone 11 to connect wireless to CarPlay. It will connect wired but I prefer to connect wireless like my iPhone 6 did. The Dasaita head unit came with Android 10 per the description listed on Amazon but I haven't done any updates on it. When going through the steps to connect CarPlay wireless it will connect the bluetooth and Wifi but will not connect when I launch Z Link and the CarPlay setting on my phone under General Settings does nothing since it wants me to push the voice control button on the steering wheel to start CarPlay setup but that button no longer acts as voice command but as mute and I have never been able to program it as voice command since I had the unit.
Can anyone help with this issue?
If there are some updates that need to be loaded please be descriptive as how to do those since I have never done an update on the Dasaita head unit before.
Thanks
Here is the link to what I have that gives specs:

What did seller/reseller suggest
I still don't get buying a greybox/Chinese origin headunit for use like Android Auto...they are not Android Auto.

Hi,
I just got my Android Head Unit installed in my car with Zlink to use Carplay. I am an experienced computer and iPhone user but have never worked with Android or an Android Head Unit. Can I and if so how do I connect a second iPhone to Zlink and Carplay?
only one device can be displayed

I know that because I have Carplay in my other car. But both I and my wife use this car and I can't find where/how to connect her phone too? When Carplay opens there are no such options so it must be in Zlink somehow?
that is in the iphone carplay settings and the radio automatically connects to the last paired device
I understand that but where do I add the second phone? Shall I turn mine off and let Zlink look for a new phone?
I have a problem that people can barely hear me on the phone. The Carplay volume was also very low but that I managed to fix with Siri talking and at the same time increase the volume on the steering wheel. Also it takes a very long time before Zlink / Carplay starts when starting the car. The guy I bought it from asked me to reset the unit.
First time I used it I connected wifi in Zlink but now on a video i saw the guy connected hot spot in Android. Which way should I use now after resetting the unit?
And thanks for your help!
you = I understand that, but where do I add the second phone? Do I turn mine off and let Zlink search for a new phone?
=yes, cancel your pairing and let the second phone connect
Ok got it. Can I make other settings in Zlink by opening the app?
not much
You forgot to tell me where I should connect my wifi? To Android system as hot spot or in Zlink option? My unit has a SIM card installed if that makes any difference?
The Bluetooth as I understand I will connect on OEM phone app?
carplay works with wifi and bluethoo transmission the sim is only to give internet to the android system (google maps etc) not for carplay actually carplay is on your mobile and mirrors your radio
the rest already in google

So I should connect both Bluetooth and wifi to Zlink / Carplay?
I don't remember any option to connect BT on Zlink?
I found out today that people can't hear me using Carplay phone because the Android unit uses a built-in microphone on the screen and not Mercedes OEM.
Is this normal?
I'm trying to use wired android auto with my android 10 head unit. There is no option for android auto but it allows me to upgrade it have android auto. When I go to upgrade it brings up a qr code and says the scan it with the zlink wechat mini app. I can't find this app anywhere on the play store on my phone. Does anyone know how to get the upgrade. Thanks
Because zlink is NOT android auto, and headunit is not android auto.
Zlink is garbage
If android auto is wanted, but official android auto unit
Are there any other apps like zlink that I can download that you recommend
