You should use the same USB cable that works with your charger, USB A to USB C, the ends should look like these:

Ignore the brand name...

After various readings here or there, I found a solution that works.
I first tried cartlinkit 4. Failed in my case...while for others it works.
I then bought an ottocast u2 x pro and there it worked from the 1st try. I finally have wireless android auto. I am happy.
Thank you for your posts which have helped me a lot.

Can you play music with an SD card while using the Ottocast fob (for Nav for example) at the same time?

Wonder if there's any loss of audio quality when wireless steaming Spotify with this device, as opposed to having your phone plugged in direct over USB

I find the audio quality to be good wirelessly. I could confirm after longer tests and while driving.

I need some help. I have activated apple carplay and android auto using the latest MIB on 2022 718 gt4. However, I still do not see the android auto or Apple car play button in my home screen. Do l need to do anything else to get them working? Thanks in advance.

You know the button only shows when a phone is plugged into the usb ports, right? It won't show until then.

Have you tried all USB outlets and a different cable?

Can you post a screen shot of the firmware level that your PCM is now at?

@planolemans Did you try some other cables? Android or Apple?

That is the same version that I run, I note that you don't show any NAV database version, does OEM NAV work, it should have been enabled by AIO as well. There is a screen in GEM that shows if they are turned on, see if the AIO version of GEM has this screen available.

AA is very sensitive about cables, I bought myself a Motorola wireless AA adapter to plug into the USB in the glove box and it's a lot nicer this way. Only downside is that the phone doesn't charge but using quite a bit of power while wirelessly connected.
