    Carlink air android pairing help required

    Thanks for that. I have given up on this one. I suspect an issue with Android phone connection to the carlinkit 2air box. Now tried 2 different android phones an s23 and an a52 and 2 different cars, my MG and a hyundai N. Carplay works and connected to the car first time. but seems the...

    Cheers and you have tried it on an MG4 and using Android auto via an Android phone? I have got this one to work via Apple carplay but Android auto refuses to connect. Was Even sent a special firmware upgrade for it direct from the supplier..

    thanks for suggestion Ian, but still no go. The car just doesn't see anything plugged in. Phone plugged in direct works just fine but car doesnt recognise this thing.

    Thanks. I am in the app now and forced it to Android auto and will see if that works. Then I will try adding a delay as you suggested. Seems a very flaky interface if you need to change these sorts of settings tbh. I cannot figure out how to do a firmware update either.. connected to carlink via...

    Carlink air android pairing help required

    Yeh thanks, I am already digging into the background app via WiFi but this thing is looking more like junk the more I try getting it to work. Even their tutorials for error resolution shows how many issues can occur with it. My guess is it isn't compatible with the mg4 wireless Android. This is...

    I have stopped attempting to get this to work. Lodged a call to their support. Everything works fine when phone is wired as expected. Phone is paired to the adapter as required but the car does not recognise the adapter via AA just says you need to plug in a phone. I have uninstaller and...

    thanks, I am starting to suspect it's not compatible with the cars wired Android auto... your comment re Bluetooth and wireless is interesting as I have just totally removed all Bluetooth info from phone re car and car re phone. I then plug phone into car usb as usual and immediately it connects...

    Carlink air android pairing help required

    It's the carlink 2air. I Think the newer carlink 5. Ta will try unpairing everything. It's odd. I seem to be able to pair my phone to the carlink adapter. After pairing adapter goes red light which I think means waiting for car android auto. I can tap the cars infotainment screen on Android auto...

Any input appreciated. Indicates it is paired but goes from pairing blue flashing light back to red and MG4...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    android or apple phone? I would try the following. Go into the ismart app. delete digital key, clear cache, logoff the app, then uninstall the app. Then reinstall the app, ensure you are within Bluetooth range of the car, ensure location services are turned on on the phone (particularly...

    Keyless start? Anyone got it working?

    I know this is an older post but I have a new essence 77kw. So a trophy level for you in UK. I use Android and had a lot of issues getting the digital key to connect via Bluetooth. I finally sorted it as it sometimes would connect and sometimes wouldn't. The solution at least on Android is to...

    MG4 in Australia

    Interesting that your OPD stays on between car restarts. I want mine to do that... I find it really odd that there are so many variances of what the car does between different people..

    MG4 in Australia

    Hahaha, I feel your frustration. Not that you want to hear it but I left mine at home today to let it granny charge all day on solar. Hit start on the app this morning it charged all day and I used the app to stop charging. It stoppedband lights went off on chart port. I then checked mailbox etc...

    MG4 in Australia

    definitely sounds like an issue with something on yours for LKA, never had it be that violent.. Hadn't thought that it could be camera / LIDAR fault... yeh if its eyesight is bad it could do weird stuff. So charging did you follow how I do it? be interested as I don't have car on and not in it...

    MG4 in Australia

    try my method to initiate the charge and see how that goes for starters. Weird how there is a setting to turn off announcement yet you still get it. That and what clearly seems a bad LKA sounds like totally different experience to mine. Firmware level?? I have the essence 77kw, could the...

    MG4 in Australia

    Interesting responses from you guys. I too have had no LKA issues and no 2019 greeting either. I can and have set a custom greeting, this can be changed to whatever you want and the toggle allows the greeting to be disabled if you wish. I have had no issues with granny cable charging. I must...

    MG4 in Australia

    Very happy with it. Weird that it was a learning curve given how long I have been a driver and rider. A fair few options to go through to understand layout etc but worth spending some time trying everything. Used a public charger to set up app access etc and very easy. Used granny charger again...
