this is new firmware to upgrade the dongle.
how to upgrade ?
1. Format the U disk to FAT32 format
2. Place the AutoBox_Update.img file in the root directory of the USB flash drive.
3. Insert the product into the car's USB interface, insert the U disk after the standby interface comes out.
4. Upgrade process, upgrading -> upgrade completed, unplugged U disk
please upgrade the dongle on the page of [waiting for connection]

Well I'm not tech savy. Here are the instructions I got to update the firmware. Can I use a USB Flashdrive and how do I format to FAT32?

A literal step by step of my initial connection:
1. Plug in usb dongle
2. Wait for "AutKit-BT" to become discoverable in bluetooth settings on phone. took less than 1 min.
3. Select AutoKit-BT, type pin 0000 and connect.
4. PCM asks do you want to use as iPod or CarPlay. Select CarPlay and check don't ask again.
5. Wireless CarPlay is working. Done.

Maybe it's the 13.2? I'm on 13.1.2 on an 11 pro.

Sucks. I didn't initially either, so I unplugged and replugged the dongle a couple times and switched bluetooth off and back on on my phone and then it popped up. Wish I could be of further help.

While I appreciate the early-adopter mentality and was prepared to admit that I should have gotten on this boat earlier, frankly after seeing what this thread has turned into I'm now thinking that plugging my phone in to enable CarPlay ain't so bad after all...

For me $150Cdn was worth a try, knowing that it would be an easy return with amazon. Although if mine ultimately doesnt work, maybe I will join the frustration boat LOL..but not likely, it was def worth a try in m y opinion, as I value wireless Carplay a lot..especially when it is -35C in the winter.
