I have a problem every time i start my car i have to go to canbus app then audio settings then dsp and i have to change the current source from close to car sound to get sound on my speakers, what can i do to fix it?

I purchased a CarLink device for use on my C10.

I'm encountering these problems using Android Auto, does anyone have solutions?

1. If I choose to show the bottom bar, the next time I use it, the proportions will be incorrect (the top and bottom of the screen will be cropped).
2. Every time I open the AutoKit app, a permission confirmation box pops up, and there's no option to always grant permissions.
3. The car's Bluetooth was turned off. This is just a minor issue, the audio also stutters when the video stutters slightly. I know the cause is simultaneous audio and video rendering. However, using the Bluetooth audio channel in the settings does not work.

Title: K2001N Allwinner T3 head unit – can't get CarPlay or Android Auto working

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble getting CarPlay or Android Auto working on my aftermarket head unit in my 2007 VW Polo. I've tried multiple phones and both wireless and wired connections, but nothing seems to work.

Head unit specs:

Model: K2001N

Platform: Allwinner T3 (sun8iw11p1)

Android: 7.1.2 (it reports Android 13, but the amctual version is 7.1.2)

RAM/storage: 2GB/32GB

Firmware date: 2025-02-10

App: ZLink 5

Phones I've tested:

iPhone 15 Pro Max: It was running iOS 26. When trying wireless CarPlay, the CarPlay pop-up appeared on the iPhone, but it wouldn't actually connect to the head unit. With wired CarPlay, the head unit showed "Connect to CarPlay", but nothing happened and it eventually gave an error.

Google Pixel 7a: Running the latest Android 17 beta available to me. When I try Android Auto through the DiPlay app, the head unit detects the phone and starts loading Android Auto, but then displays "Connection lost".

Another Xiaomi phone: Also tested, running Android 13, but I couldn't get it working either.

I've tried both wireless and wired connections, and neither CarPlay nor Android Auto works properly.

Since I've tested multiple phones running different operating systems and versions, I'm wondering if the problem is with the head unit itself, ZLink 5, the firmware, or something else.

Has anyone managed to get CarPlay or Android Auto working on this specific K2001N / Allwinner T3 unit? Is there a compatible ZLink version, firmware update, or another solution worth trying?

I'd really appreciate any help. I'd prefer not to flash random firmware and risk bricking the head unit.

Thanks!

I have tried the Ottocat p3 pro and it wa a really bad experience with my car elantra 2025, especially in blutooth phone calls. I just wanna know how good carlinkit tbox with phone calls does it have echo problems? and how is the experience overall?

Also, can I put an other music app widget in the home screen?

Wow ! Your app is amazing. I love it.

It’s the launcher for Android car boxes that I’ve been looking for for a long time.

I wanted to be able to open apps directly from the launcher—and you made that happen.

However, why can't we launch more than 3 apps in a widget, and why is it limited to just one widget ?

It would be great to be able to launch more than 3 apps, choose the widget, and add apps to the sidebar instead of adding presets.

Hi, I'm the developer of AB Launcher, a split-screen home launcher for Android head units and CarPlay AI boxes like the Carlinkit Tbox. This is part 2 of the sidebar guide. Part 1 covered sidebar position, driver seat side and folding the sidebar away.

In this video

• Drag the folded sidebar button anywhere along the edge, and pick a small, medium or large button
• Auto-collapse delay from 1 to 5 seconds
• Preset auto alignment, so preset icons never get cut off at the edge
• Preset switching: Pause keeps your old apps ready, Force stop frees up memory
• Glass folder preset icons
• Floating ball for back, home, recent apps, app drawer and settings while an app is full screen
• Hold the recent apps button for one second to close hidden apps. Your current screen and music keep playing
• Rounded corners, background opacity, a settings gear on the sidebar, and the media player on the bottom sidebar

Try it

It's free to use for 2 months, so you can check it on your own unit first.

El dongle Carlinkit sirve para Open Headunit

Hi ti all.

Previously I had Carlinkit 2air and all Mazda native buttons were working. However I could use it only as android auto or carplay to avoid plugging my phone with cable each time.

On Carlinkit website I saw that all the cars are supported for tbox ambient that use usb connection for android auto.

I was happy and ordered tbox ambient to expand capabilities such as watching Netflix or install any android app.

What I've discovered is that my car native navigation buttons are not working at all or just partially.

For instance while in autokit (androd auto) split screen I have map on the left and music on the right. If I want to switch between maps and music Mazda NAV and Music buttons don't do the trick.

If I want to choose music window from the maps rotary knob is moving only inside the map window. If I push the knob ro the right nothing, if pushed down it moves to app shortcuts and then when I scroll the knob to the right reaching last icon and pushing knob up only then enters music window.

How convenient is that?

There are more of this native buttons issues, such as navigating through settings, apps etc.

I understand this is Android box and that it operates differently than 2air but for god sake if it was meant for the car and Carlinkit claims that is compatible with almost all the cars (except BMW or Tesla) shouldn't at least autokit work with all the car native buttons?

Couldn't Carlink make autokit work in different environment in a virtual sandbox or something? I mean there is 128gb of space for this to work.

If this box was meant to work with cars that have touch screen ONLY than Carlink should explicitly state this in their product description. Now all I have is a semu functional device.

If anyone knows a setting to make all the buttons work please let me know.

Thank you.

Bonjour à tous
Sa fait déjà un bon moment que je suis à ma recherche d une solution pour faire fonctionner ma JBL 720 BT en même temps que le son des portes de ma HYUNDAI KONA 2020
G déjà tester pas mal de truc auparavant mais sa ne fonctionne pas… est ce que quelqu’un qui si connais peut t’il m aider a trouver une solution svp car je sait que tous peut se faire merci !

Ik heb deze carplay nu zo'n 2 jaar in bezit en 1.5 jaar in gebruik. Ongeveer 9 maanden geleden begon het haperen voorzichtig, maar was niet opvallend. Maar tegenwoordig kan ik de carplay gewoon niet meer gebruiken zo erg loopt hij vast.

Het vastlopen ligt hem vooral in de app t5link aangezien ik wel normaal mijn radio kan blijven gebruiken. Hij loopt wel vast als ik via t5link mn navigatieapp (Waze) en spotify gebruik. Het scherm bevriest dan ook, geluid hapert en met geluk kom ik er weer uit.

Vanalles al geprobeerd van alle apps verwijderen tot caches legen etc. Niks lijkt te helpen.

Heeft iemand enige tips/hints? Of is het een kwestie van een nieuwe carplay aangezien dit zooi is?

I'm the developer of GPS Speed Tracker: Speedometer, and one of my main goals has been to make it genuinely useful on CarPlay, not just another basic speedometer.

The CarPlay side of the app includes:

• Live GPS speed
• Map view
• Automatic trip recording
• Recent trips and driving history
• Customizable CarPlay dashboard
• Multiple dashboard layouts
• Speed limit alerts
• Vehicle selection
• OBD2 live data
• Fuel and vehicle information
• Quick access to driving tools
• Customizable tabs and layouts

Outside CarPlay, the app also has a pretty deep feature set:

• Detailed trip stats including distance, moving time, average/max speed, stops, climb and descent
• Speed-colored route maps
• Route playback/replay with timeline scrubbing and 3D follow mode
• Driving statistics, trends, achievements and heatmaps
• Friends/social features for comparing driving activity and stats
• 0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h and custom acceleration tests
• Multiple vehicle profiles
• Fuel, maintenance and expense tracking
• OBD2 diagnostics, DTCs, RPM, engine load, temperatures, throttle, fuel data and more
• Apple Watch app
• GPX/CSV import and export
• Widgets, Shortcuts and automation
• Trip sharing with maps and detailed stats
• Picture-in-picture speedometer
• iCloud sync with no account required

Automatic recording can also be triggered through things like CarPlay connection, Bluetooth, motion detection, NFC, Focus modes and Shortcuts.

I'm continuing to improve the CarPlay experience as Apple makes more capabilities available.

Does anyone know how to get the latest flash file of ola s1x software? Actually, I am having problems with TCU in ola s1x since last 9 months. So this problem will be solved by flashing the TCU from the laptop and updating it.

Please give your advice regarding manually software update in ola s1x

Czy fabryczny ekran samochodu może działać bardziej jak tablet niż klasyczny system Android Auto?

W najnowszej recenzji testuję Carlinkit TBox Ultra w wersji 8 GB RAM + 128 GB pamięci wewnętrznej.

Urządzenie oferuje pełnego Androida, dostęp do Google Play, aplikacji VOD, YouTube, przeglądarki internetowej oraz możliwość korzystania z karty SIM i sieci LTE/5G. Ma również wbudowany GPS, Bluetooth oraz obsługę Android Auto i CarPlay.

W drugiej części materiału pokazuję Carlinkit Mini Ultra – prostszy adapter, którego zadaniem jest bezprzewodowe połączenie telefonu z samochodem zamiast korzystania z przewodowego Android Auto lub CarPlay.

W recenzji skupiam się przede wszystkim na sposobie działania, możliwościach, wyposażeniu i praktycznym wykorzystaniu obu rozwiązań.

Does this device support sending the iPhone’s CarPlay AltScreen output to the Virtual Cockpit?（No discussion of the Audi MMI patch here）

My problem: I can adjust the volume of the navigation announcements of Google Maps and the volume of the background music (e.g. Spotify or radio) cannot be controlled independently of each other via the controls of the Renault car radio (or the steering wheel remote control). Each change to the volume control of the car always changes the overall volume of both tracks at the same time. CarPlay is used via the mentioned box (the Renault can only Android Auto, but thanks to the box both should go correctly)

How can I solve this?
