Hi,
I have two head units, one EKIY T8 Android 10 that uses Carlink for connecting to Carplay on my iPhone, and the other is a T10 Srnubi UIS7862 that uses Tlink 5 to connect to iPhone Carplay.
On the T8-Carlink I connect the iPhone through USB and Carplay works, and I can swithch between my wife's and mine by connecting them through the cable.
On the T10-Tlink I can't connect iPhone through USB cable. Sometimes it doesn't do anything, others it says it's connecting but never really ends. The only way to connect is through Bluetooth pairing, but I find it more difficult to switch between phones, and in my last trip I experienced problems; when I passes close to an official building with frequency inhibitors connection got lost.
Should this connection through USB work for my phone or is this unit only capable of wireless?. What could be wrong?
My iPhone has iOS 16.1.1 and the Tlink software is 5.2.60.
Info about my head unit in picture attached
I received my T10 head unit today, it is TS10 uis7862
I am using tlink v5.3.21, my head unit came with 2 usb cables (one 4 pin one 6 pin)
I have tried both cables with 2 genuine apple cables and can’t get it to connect via usb.
The radio prompts me to press trust on the phone, but I never get the prompt on my phone. iPhone 14 pro max iOS 16.2
Anyone get this issue before? Wireles CarPlay works but is very buggy. If I leave CarPlay to go to radio I have to force quit app and manually reconnect phone again to get CarPlay back
Thanks

This is the wrong forum section for your unit.
This section is specifically for FYT devices.
Your device is a TS10 which I think should be discussed in this thread here
The devices are quite different firmware wise and the correct answer for an FYT may not be correct for a TS10.

Has anyone used something like the Delphi Connect or Zubie with their head unit?
I just picked up one of the new Lollipop units from Joying and would rather not connect it with my phone. I am looking at these OBD units vs a USB hotspot. While I would give up bluetooth for OBD, I could run the Delphi or Zubie app on the head unit itself and see the diagnostic codes, etc.
Any experiences or thoughts? Reasons to go with one over the other?
Thanks!
I installed my new head unit today and picked up a Zubie from Best Buy. It is a hotspot that plugs into the OBD port.
It works like a champ too.
My head unit connects via WiFi and I have an always-on connection regardless of my phone being in the car or paired. This saves my phone battery when streaming music and running Waze (which is pretty much the entire time I am in the car).
I haven't even paired my phone to the head unit and am not sure that I will.
I can't run Torque since the OBD port is now in user, but steering wheel controls seem to work fine via CANBUS, so hopefully it won't be a problem.

Hello dudes,
I bought through aliexpress a new HU for my mazda, because the Eonon was to slow with only 2 GB RAM.
I am very happy about the speed of the new unit, but i think the seller forgot to send me adapters, to connect the radio antenna and the steering wheel control.
At the eonon device i had a different cable for the radio antenna connection and the steering wheel control.
But now i am very confused. Both cables i can't connect to anything. Please check my Screenshot, if you have another idea, what i can do? There are many cables without anything attached. Just a naked cable...
Thanks
Okay i found an adapter for the radio antenna at eBay. But the canbus is not working and not recognized by android...
And odb2 is not working properly. Sometimes it connects, sometimes Bluetooth is not working properly for odb2.
Connection to phone through BT is permanent good.
The second cable is for AUX devices
from what i know now, so not needed.
Okay the seller answered me finally. He helped me to get through and configure the canbus first in the system.
I noticed that AIDA64 and HW Info shows Android 9, instead of 10. But system of Android shows Android 10. Is this fake?
I have in this unit a nice EQ for my dsp. If someone wants to have, tell me how to extract it from the rom. See Screenshot
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:

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?
Hey so I bought Carlinkit 3.0 to use CarPlay on my car and when I plug it in nothing happening.
Indicator turn red, it shows WiFi but nothing happening on head unit. I tried to upgrade software to newest version, recover head unit to factory settings and nothing. USB ports in car are working well cause I can plug a usb stick and it’s work properly. I also tried to use AutoKit app and it’s keep saying “please insert the product”. I don’t really know what to do with this. Does anyone had similar problem? Thanks a lot for any advice
I’ve got PX5 head unit with Android 10 and MCU MTCE_CHS_V3.75_1
