That's awesome - I just wish I could get some feedback on whether it works for Android Auto

ProClip w/wireless charger. The wire will tuck under the leather and go under the center console. I just need a free day to pull it apart.
It comes with tools to separate the leather so the clip will fit neatly.

^^^^Thanks. I just bought one. I am using a cup mount currently for my phone and I really don't like it I will use this with a Kuda phone holder.

FYI: when mounting the wireless charger to the clip. Mount it at its highest level if you want to use the cup holder without interference.

Will it leave permanent creases in the leather from the applied pressure?

Please share with us the results if you will run the cable through the decoration. I have been hesitant about this product for couple of months now because i am not sure how easy it will be to do the wiring part

I will not take it as far as the video goes as I don't have a need to get to the Nav/HU. However, this video shows how easy it is to pull the center piece free to run the cable.

So I ordered the CARPLAY2AIR for Android Auto through USB connection. I tried plugging it in, and didn't work. Waited for 10 minutes and kept on getting a message on the infotainment screen saying "Unsupported Device Connected". I tried installing the APK on my phone, that's listed on the box, to see if there would be any settings in there that would help in detecting it, and nothing. The APP from the APK didn't even detect the USB plug being plugged in.

I definitely wouldn't recommend this item for Android Auto users. I've already contacted them to return and issue a refund. Keeping my fingers crossed, and hope they reply back, because they were barely responsive during the delivery, which came in 2 weeks late (due to CoronaVirus).

I've been having the same issues with them in regards to poor follow-ups. Ordered mine on 01/24 and still haven't received it.Keep us posted.

I ordered mine 1/18 it arrived 2/14. I did message Paypal, that may have something to do with me receiving it. I got a tracking within a day or two

I installed it, the instructions are not that great. Not only do you have to link it Bluetooth, you need to connect the WiFi signal too. During the initial power up and sync's I couldn't get it to sync up with the car. I shut the car down, waited 10 seconds , started the car back up there it was, Waze.

I did send a message through the contact bubble on their website and they did reply within an hour which was good. I was initially on getting the connecting..... ….. ….. message on my cars screen.

In the message she did indicate the phone should have no other connections active, I'm thinking that would mean my original Bluetooth to car connection. I'll delete that today and see if that has any effect on the connection speed

I didn't test all the functions but Waze and most other frequently used apps were there and working.

Read elsewhere that this is not an Apple supported product (which we all know,) an update could "Brick" it. Something to think about. I'm guessing Apple will come out with one.

Are you trying all of this out with an Apple device, or Android?

Love the wireless Carplay in our Honda Civic Si. Waze just comes right up with traffic when the car is started.

Has anyone tried this wireless adapter in an LC?
