I’m hoping it’ll completely solve my phone problem by not using the dock connector and relying solely on BT so that way call quality will be at the BT quality level.

Any other changes in this latest update (not that wireless Carplay isn’t a big one)?

Currently it says The product does not support this feature. So probably just early changes. Also good thing it has these warnings when updating box otherwise I might have had another kid on the way. :)

Exactly! Now I can use wireless charging and wireless carplay. No more plugging in the phone.

i think the new dongle still plug to one of the USB from the autobox. Just don’t need to connect the phone to that dongle anymore.

i’m excited, as you can tell lol

From the change log, nope, just add the wireless carplay. Probably bug fix here and there.

Did you all know that Lexus has an update for certain cars to upgrade the oem system to add carplay (and it’s free)?? My dad just got his LC500H updated but it’s NOT available for the RX. Just wanted to share that they did that which was a bit of a surprise to me.

Yup, but those cars has enform 2.0. The RX still has enform 1.0, which sucks

We need to buy a new dongle (they probably add the bluetooth and wifi chip to the dongle). I ordered it. They said it will be shipped by end of this month because some bugs need to be fixed.

the bugs is some communication between android box and carplay dongle, need a little time to solve.

a little drawback is the operation has about 1 second delay when operate by iphone wirelessly. and first time connection takes about half minutes, but subsquently will be very quick, about 5 seconds.


Bearcat 05-24-19 05:11 AM

Sounds good. I’ll be ready to order too just please let us know when it’s available to order. Do we know how much?
