WOW! Thank you so much Sir. You perfectly demoed the device and answered all questions I currently have. I'm very annoyed that our Porsche Macan only supports Apple Car Play and quit supporting Google Maps due to contractual reasons. You showed us a nice alternative. Thanks again.

Thank you for the video, I have been looking at purchasing one of the carlinkit units for a while now. I have my BYD seal only a couple of weeks away. The apps look like they run very smooth, how is the quality when making calls? Is there any lag or delay? I have used a quad lock unit before and the call speaking delay was quite bad.

@SkyPerspective Ай бұрын

I haven't tried out making phone calls on my Android Auto running on top of Carlinkit on top of BYD Seal yet. Will try that out and see how it goes. KZfaq audio on Carlinkit is really good, no lag when I binge watch KZfaq in the Seal. Once again, it's because mine is the 8GB RAM model with faster Qualcomm processor which I believe made a difference, oh and it's latest bluetooth version 5 all makes a difference.

@chickenguts3819 Ай бұрын

@@SkyPerspective ok cool, let us know if you don’t mind on the call quality.

@MrMichaeljaggie Ай бұрын

@@chickenguts3819 I have the same box and had a Carlinkit 4.0 before this one. The phone call lag is improved but it still is there, although it is really quick. Sometimes you notice it when you want to speak and the other person speaks at the same time. What I find the most disturbing is the fact the android system has to boot and then the apple carplay boots. It takes roughly 35 seconds from starting the car to getting into carplay functions.

@lan3v01 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. Just to clarify, do you need a data SIM card to use the Carlinkit? Or can it use the SIM card via the phone ?

@SkyPerspective Ай бұрын

Yes you can run Carlinkit without the Data SIM Card and just tether to your phone's mobile hotspot, however, you won't be able to run your phone's (assuming same phone) Android Auto on Carlinkit. Thanks to your question, I've made a video on this and will launch tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I have a byd Seal and I bought the Carlinkit 6225 just like it, but it doesn't work, it doesn't recognize when I connect it. Do you know what it could be?

Try using the USB-A to C cable instead of the USB-C to Ccable to connect to your BYD Seal. BYD Seal USB-C is only a charging port doesn't carry data. Hope this helps.

Does that mean I cannot use my iPhone for Apple Carplay and the Carlinkit at the same time?

Hmm.... which USB port did you use? How long did you wait after plugging in?

@erreemme822 Ай бұрын

BYD Seal does not have the wireless connection of Car Play with iPhone (an absurd thing considering the level of the car), this requires it to occupy the only data port of the car. I have a 2 terabyte USB stick with all my music and I have to choose whether to connect my iPhone with CarPlay or listen to music from the stick. I don't know if this product could solve my problem, or alternatively if there is another product that can do it.

@SkyPerspective Ай бұрын

Yes, Carlinkit does not come with the data sim card, you will need to get a sim card from your phone company. If you have data share sim plans, you can request another data sim card for free. That's for Australia mobile carriers.

@@SkyPerspective Thanks for the reply. I am in Mexico and we are not so lucky. My Seal will have a sim card from BYD for free for two years. They are not as generous here as for you in OZ.

Only problem is in Mexico there are not a lot of charging stations, so it is just great for in the city, but for the last 3 months I have not paid a cent for gas.

@@SkyPerspective No rush. We do so much work away from home and the office now. Portability is a bigger consideration, whether it's in a laptop, tablet or car display.

Yes that's why I love connecting my Windows laptop to my Samsung Tablet at the coffee shop and work on my Google Doc in my car with Carlinkit. Unfortunately, this carlinkit I have got doesn't have another USB port for me to connect up to my computer to run Super Display Android App (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kelocube.mirrorclient&hl=en&gl=US) not affiliated with them. If not this would be perfect to use my BYD Seal 15" display as my second laptop monitor.

Very nice! The slide if the byd menu from the bottom (8:25) is something that happens just with this carlink? Or is it a apply car thing? I can't do that on my byd seal with a droid auto 😢... perhaps was part for a ota update?

@SkyPerspective Ай бұрын

Yes, it's an update thing, but maybe not be OTA update. When I first got my Seal with an older version I could not swipe up from the bottom, see this earlier video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d99xpbyFzNzGXWw.htmlsi=4uDihGobNrwyZ05v&t=139 After that when I send the car back for first 3 months service, they updated some internal modules for me, and I received an OTA update a couple of weeks later, see this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pt2klJeYytPRdKc.html and then I have this feature of swiping up from bottom. So I am not sure if it's OTA update or the service center update. Any way, yes you can't do it because it's older version of software, hopefully you will be able to update soon.

I tested it out. This is what I did. Started my Seal, rotated the screen to portrait, plug in the Carlinkit to connect it, when Carlinkit loads up as Apple Carplay, the screen automatically rotated back to landscape. So no, even though carlinkit can run on portrait, BYD does not allow Apple Carplay (it thinks Carlinkit is apple carplay) to run on portrait.

Something I could not test it out for you because I don't have an iPhone. However, on Carlinkit website they say they support wireless Apple Carplay for iPhone running on iOS 6+ so .... yes? Hopefully someone with an iPhone tested this can confirm in this thread.
