This video make comparison between this two options.
(1) The built-in Carplay Android Auto support button (in steering wheel) to pick up the in coming calls, but external dongle not support it. Built-in Carplay with high intergration to BMW/Audi/Mercedes-Benz android screen. The External Dongle is just like a universal that can work android os car stereo.
(2) When use the external Dongle, the WIFI in android side still working, but if you use Built-in Carplay, the WIFI in android screen will cut off automatically.
if you like the android screen connect to internet all the time, we recommend you use 4G LTE, all our models support 4G LTE.
Open the Autokit application and choose from the bottom of the settings menu the Advance option the option to calibrate the car steering wheel buttons, and from this option you will be able to adjust the buttons
I was tested in my BMW 2 series F45 NBT, but the button in the steering wheel controls not work when pick up the phone calls, I also notice the key learning , but my BMW not allow to learn it , the key always show gray color , the engineer told me , some cars might not compatible for the key learning , If you have any other suggestions/ solution, let me know, thanks .

Thank you for this information. Just found out your channel and io am using the zlink app for wireless android auto. One question: The only odd thing about it is that not all the time when i get back to the car it connects right away to Android Auto. Sometimes it does not work. I have my android phone connected with the head unit for calls and audio and Wi/Fi on but sometimes it works sometimes not. Is there any specific way to make it work all the times? Also, can i use bluetooth connection for audio with thje android head unit to use zlink and bluetooth call connection with my car? It works better and the audio is better. Much apreciated.
The android unit can not use Bluetooth to play the audio , it go through AUX , about not connected all the time , yes I do also have this experience, to improve connection rate, you can have the phone connect to this CarPlay Only ( the phone not connected to OEM Bluetooth or other wireless device)
I have a bmw my z link stop working I used to click on my screen it would switch one day it stopped switching I need help
Dear I have an android display unit when I connect carlinkit 5.0 it doesn't show any thing on Autokit, Why?
What is the android version for your android car stereo? and BMW android gps?
I have a problem with both of these and wonder if you can help? If I use zlink for apple car play when I restart the car the Bluetooth on the head unit is greyed out and zlink until I restart a 2nd time and then it work again. I bought a carlinkit dongle to overcome this which does work everytime but that will not mute DAB-Z when the phone rings? The only way Zlink will work everytime is to close the app down before switching off the car if that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any suggestions with either issues
Consider the software update, it should not work like this .
When i use zlink wireless android auto it is very laggy and music has a shutter but it works flawlessly when using it wired. Any advice to improve the wireless android auto
You can check if your phone also connected to other wireless devices, such as it connected to OEM Bluetooth, if yes , then disconnect it , the phone should just connect to CarPlay only
@@HifimaxOfficial thanks will try that. It is usually connected to my watch as well
Iphone for easy connect apple carpay but i using samsung cannot connect android auto wireless. Only using cable
If the old phone, that not support wireless connection ( you can check it on Google website), that way, need to connect the USB
Why is the Apple CarPlay using ZLink very sluggish and slow? Is it better when it’s plugged in?
I use Zlink CarPlay in my car everyday, I don’t find slow problem .
Im finding it very slow and sluggish as well helppp
Hi i have a mercedes w176 with this screen. Is there a way to update the android 12 version to 13? A website or something? How does this work?
No android 13 yet
I would like to test for a RUclips video
Does the Zlink App work with a wifi antena that we fit to the andriod head unit?
I don’t know what “ WiFi antenna “ you mentioned, the models we selling all built in WiFi , that is no need additional antenna.
@HifimaxOfficial i brought mine from veehive i am in the Uk and they provided a wifi antenna with the screen
normally, the wifi is for 4G LTE, that has nothing to do with Zlink, you better ask your supplier, different models, might be different. @@ALIH4SH
@@HifimaxOfficial thanks
who needs wifi on ur stereo when ur driving your the problem if you do
