GR86 Wireless Apple Car Play

[Ersakus]

Anyone has tried one and how many seconds does your take to connect?

I got a quad lock branded dongle any it takes 30 seconds each time the car is restarted. Not ideal as the whole idea of wireless car play was convenience.
Apple car play icon also goes onto deadlocks situation (frozen) if I plug my phone onto the other available socket.

I will return the dongle I think but before I do I wanted to ask here

I had (have) a quad lock wireless car play adapter for another car (Porsche Macan). It is totally inoperable, I contacted support and they gave me some things to try. I reported back to them that I still couldn’t get it to work and they said there was nothing else that could be done and refunded me instantly - they have not requested the unit back either.

I was hoping it might be of use in the gr86 when it comes, but your post doesn’t fill me with confidence! I bought a carlinkit 4.0 from Amazon and it is working faultlessly.

The units look almost identical, so I fear the quad lock is just rebadged old carlinkit stock…

Yes I also asked a resolution. Ideally a refund. Thanks I will look into carlinkit 4.0!
Cable connection drops time to time. (Jinxed it by comparing to terrible wireless connection perhaps?
!) I am not sure if my cable connector is the culprit or something else.

I use usbc wired connection. My wired Apple car play stopped working today. After some investigation I had to try another iPhone using another cable. As soon as the head unit asked permission to use Apple car play with this new phone, my old phone also started connecting OK. So the head unit needed a reset. Normally I reset my phone and such issues would be resolved but head unit also may need a reset. I assume another way is to forget Apple car play in my old iPhone settings and force a new connection
I hope this helps someone in my shoeshine
