Yes! Thanks for sharing. Just bought the dongle and installed. I am so happy to finally, after years, have apple carplay! I am going to follow your other video and add the wireless carplay soon. Many many thanks.
Bruh! I got a nissan pathfinder 2020. It doesn't have android auto or applecarplay to it. So if i buyt that thing will it be possible for me connect to my phone??? Just like yours...
This would not work, you need an android radio because you are going to need to download the app, which I don’t think the stock touchscreen will allow that.
Does your microphone work correctly with this, mine head unit has that zscaler app and the mic gain is half of what it is when using the phone feature in android
Thanks for this video. Mine was working great. But now it doesn’t give a option to update box. Just says please insert box but it’s plugged in. Any idea??
The box might have gone bad. I actually had that happen to me once before. They are all made pretty cheap. And once the car doesn’t recognize it, usually it won’t work. If you want best thing to do is make sure all the connections are good between the box and the radio. Or plug something else into that USB port coming from the radio to make sure that is still working properly!
Thanks for this video my bluetooth randomly stopped working so I was trying to figure out solutions. Most apps you have to download on the phone itself so if I want a friend to plug up its rough and the head unit just mirrors your phone screen. Istalled APK and dongle will be here tomorrow 👍🏼
The radio trim pieces you can find them used on eBay, they are just much more expensive then you think they are. I set of the upper ones are around $60 used.
Hey , I bought the exact same one for my 2004 bmw and it’s installed and everything however sound only works with the radio. When i connect bluetooth no sound comes out and same with CarPlay. Do you have any advice?
That’s very weird, I have not had that problem. The only thing I would make sure the volume on your phone is turned up as well. And make sure there are no other settings turned off on your radio preventing the sound for those sources.
Are you talking about trying to listen to music out of Apple CarPlay? Like the radio or Bluetooth? If so you might have the auto start option for Apple CarPlay to always open up the app on the head unit. If you are not talking about that, and you are saying every time you listen to music on Apple CarPlay, and it stops. Maybe just try to reboot your phone, or make sure you actually have Apple Music subscription signed into that phone.
I have the binize head unit I ordered from Amazon,but that one is currently unavailable. This one is very similar and people say good things about it.

Hello thanks for the video. I do have a question though, my car is a smart and there is no options for me to go to chrome and download a software… what can I do ? Thanks
@@BrandonStellmach No sorry i mean the brand of my car is a Smart (the tiny 2 places car) so for me i have no way to install anything on my device i feel like
@@Emma-rm9yy now I understand, and it doesn’t seem that the smart cars come with any special Software with them. You will need to upgrade the radio to an android radio so you can install the software.
Bro, when I use my Waze or Google map on my android car stereo and it I get a phone call whilst using the sat nav, my phone call blocks the sat nav, is there a button to minimise this?
Honestly I don’t ever have this problem because I don’t usually talk on the phone when I’m driving. But there might be a setting where it keeps the phone running in the background. While your other apps don’t get blocked.
It sounds like you’re call is going over Bluetooth instead of CarPlay cause that’s what happens to me so I had to manually switch from Bluetooth to CarPlay and then my phone memorized that and hasn’t done it since
It has to be the ones that come with the radio. Now if you wanted to, you could buy a USB replacement. That has the female to female adapter, and it will replace the stock one.
Hey brother great video. I have the same setup but with a carlinkit wireless mini. Auto kit app is stuck on the please insert the product screen. The box is getting power but it seems like my head unit isn’t detecting it. Any thoughts?
Thank you! As for the issue, it seems like you might have figured it out. I have seen some of these dongles become defective and not work from ordering them. It sounds like that may be the issue!
I’m order to get Apple CarPlay installed, you will need to have a wifi connection to install the app. But after that, you do not need any wifi connection. And it does charge your phone, but it is not fast at all. But maybe a few percent after like a 20-30 minute drive.
Hi there, I wonder if you can help me tho! I have the same Android unit in my Toyota Aygo, and the Apple car play is working fine but my question is I could never be able to open RUclips on this screen ! Every time I press the app it shows “ Don’t watch video while driving “ and even if the car is not running it does the same thing, could you please help me how to work it out ?? Appreciate your helpful videos though.
I’m pretty sure there is a setting in the radio. That allows you to watch videos on the screen. And you will have to enable it. And sometimes other radios need you to pull the E-Brake in order to watch videos on the screen. But hope this gives you some help!
The android came like that. I didn’t do anything other than change the background. But the apps and clock were already like that on my unit. I didn’t think they were different on the units.
Thanks for the video! If I don’t have a browser at all in my head unit, how can I download the app? Don’t have google play or browser, just Waze and WiFi manager
This is only to add Apple CarPlay and android auto for an android radio. If your car came stock with Apple CarPlay, this most likely will not be detected by the car.
If you still use this dongle… is it still working for you because before I plug in it displays the usual please connect phone so when I plug it in it doesn’t connect it just changes to please Insert product
When I was using the dongles. I noticed they would only last about 6 months. I went though 3 of them in 2 different cars. And now I make sure my radios comes with it, so I don’t need a dongle.
My car has the same two usb’s with a very similar head unit the usbs stay on even when I turn my car off should I be worried about this because I don’t want it to drain the battery I’ve had my screen for a week, do you have the same issue
To be honest I’m not sure if mine does or not, I will have to check tomorrow if it does. But also I know that some radios stay on for about 1 minute after you shut the car off. Does it still charge when after you wait over a minute?
Hi the head unit I have right now does not support stereo sound, and when I play any music from my iPhone bluetooth sound comes from both left and right speakers at the time! But when I play from the usb using the music app, the stereo sound coming from the right and left speakers with HD sound that means the Bluetooth apps don’t work correctly in my head unit. Also, I tried to solve this issue from the developer page the settings, but when I change the voice type to stereo, the configuration returns to the original the default.
How did you connect your cables in your glove compartment? Did you use a cable with an Aux and Usb end? Because in my car the glove compartment only has the aux input.
If your looking for a good radio with built in Apple CarPlay. I would take a look at idoing. I upgraded my 2009 corolla and my 2016 Camry with them and I love them. If you look at my videos you will find me installing one in both my cars and I go over the features on them!
I know this is a 2 years old video, but I have that same headunit and dongle and when I connect the dongle that Autokit app doesn't recognize it. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!
Best thing to do is try a different USB coming from the radio, if that doesn’t work, it is most likely an issue with the dongle. I have heard of these going bad!
@@BrandonStellmach sir which one do you prefer? This unitopsci or the binize that is about $229? The one thats installed in your car is the Binize unit right?
@@popoygravy5118 honestly they are the exact same, just the binize cost more. I don’t think you are getting any better quality. But yes I have a binize installed.
Very good video, thank you for that! Just a question, this dongle has enough power to also charge the iphone battery when you are using carplay through cable? If yes, it works like a "slow charging" or it is more like a "regular one"?
Yes the dongle has enough power to charge your phone, but it’s a very slow charge( I mean super slow) about maybe 5-10% every hour. So I wouldn’t want to rely on it to actually charge your phone. But it’s nice that it will charge a few percent when you drive some where.
I’m running android 9 on the radio. But you can always change the interface on the radio. If you go deep into the settings you can change it somewhere. I did it a long time ago, and that’s probably why it looks different.
I have the same stereo (head unit) and the adapter for the applecarplay I downloaded it and it works but for some reason the quality/brightness is like dark and kinda dim yours looks more better quality clearer how do I fix that ?
You will need an android head unit for this to work. If you have already installed one. Then yes you should be able to get this to work. But this will not work on stock radio.
I’m not that familiar with Silverado’s, but I can say look into idoing radios. I just installed one in my 2016 Toyota Camry! And it has all the fancy things like Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth. If you are curious if they have one, go to their instagram @idoing_media , and message them, they should be able to help you find one! 👍
What’s up man I’m having an issue where the apk app isn’t recognizing the box. Says please plug in box but everything is connected? App is up to date as well. Thanks
No, this will not work. You will need to have a android radio that supports Apple CarPlay. And you can usually find that out, if you are able to download the app or not.
Hi there, I didn't realise until about the last 2 minutes or so, that this was about installing car play to android, when I want to install android to car play. Is there an adapter for that as well?
Sorry for asking so many questions, and this should be my last one (hopefully). Are you able to talk to someone when they call you or do you disconnect the phone to talk?
when i connect to wifi via home router or hot spot on my phone it says limited connection and wont let me install anything or use any navigation apps because it wont let me log in. any solution?
I’m not sure what exact radio you are using, but if you have any way to reset it, like a small button in the front of the radio. Otherwise maybe just try to reset your home internet and see if that helps. Because I have never had that problem!
IT sounds like the connection might not be good between the dongle and the radio. I would try another cable, or try to make sure it is not coming loose in the USB.
The link you provided does not work. I just purchased a Atoto S8 2nd gen head unit. Says it has CarPlay, but having a hard time trying to get it. Can you. PLEASE help
I just doubled checked the links, they seem to be working on my end. Not sure why they don’t for you. But if the radio says it comes with CarPlay, you shouldn’t need to install anything. I would look for an app that is called carlink, or Tlink. It should be called something very similar. I hope this helps.
After removing the app, the link does work. But found out my CarPlay dongle doesn’t work with my stereo. I should’ve followed my first my mind and got the dongle you have. SMH, you live and learn. Great vid 💯
Just want to make sure, this is a Dasaita headunit with a non-Dasaita dongle? And it works just fine? I had a similar problem, Dasaita HU that stopped working with the Dasaita dongle after a system/MCU update. Bought a new Dasaita dongle and it still didn't work. Please clarify that detail, thank you.
This is a binize radio, and I was just using the carlink dongle with no problems. But I do have a dasita radio in my 2016 Camry, when I first got it I did get a dasita dongle, but it went bad after about a year, and so I just bought one of the carlink dongles and it works great as long as I downloaded the app for the carlink dongle!! I hope this helps out.
Hello, maybe you can help me, i have a peugeot 208, and my carplay always worked with my iphone 11 but since i bought the 12 it doesn’t work no more, i can’t find the carplay in my settings
Do you get notification sounds with your dongle in my other car with the android radio I get the dings but this one only notification sound I get is text messages all my other like Facebook, mail, doordash etc doesn’t make a sound.
I only get sounds from my text messages as well. I figure it’s just a safety thing, where Apple doesn’t want you to look at those other type of notifications while driving.
Yeah I think it’s a bug in iOS 15 cause I was getting the ding before now I don’t. The notification never popped up on the screen but it always made the ding noise before iOS 15
hello, when I connect this device to the usb cable from the radio, the application does not detect anything. Could it be a faulty adapter or something else?
Yeah if it’s not detecting it, most likely a bad module. But it wouldn’t hurt to just swap out any USB you are using to make sure it’s not a faulty USB.
Hey Brandon great video, do you have any idea how to change the default (horrendous) ring tone that comes on the unit when someone calls ? Mine sounds like wind chimes and random ass noises. Thanks any info is great
I have the same problem, and I looked and I couldn’t see anything. But luckily I don’t get many phone calls when I’m in my car, so it doesn’t bother me as much!
Hey bro , does the dongle that you showed in the video still works? Cuz some people say that it doesn’t work on iOS 15 and above, tysm for the video 🙏🏻
The CarPlay module does not have any sound settings to adjust. But the radio I am using does have EQ settings to adjust all the the treble and bass settings you need.
There should be a separate app for screen mirror. And when you open it. You will click on the mirror screen on your iPhone. And it should pop up as a display!
bro i got the same radio unit but i had it for 7 months already and out of nowhere is not producing any sound out the speakers idk why! do you know anything about it? or wat can i do to fix it
That’s weird I haven’t heard of that happening, the best thing to do is double check and make sure all the cables are pushed into the back of the radio. Also I believe there is a fuse in the back of the radio. Maybe double check that it didn’t get blown. And maybe the last thing to try is get another speaker and replace it. Maybe the speakers blew. Would be very odd chance of that happening, but could have.

What’s that trim you have around your radio where can I get it

You’re amazing explanation, i try a one time pass👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 🙏
So if I understand correctly, this works on any android 4.4+ head unit without wired android auto preinstalled?
Yes that is correct. As long as you are able to download the app you need, you should be able to get CarPlay/ android auto working.
Hi. I have one as well. Do you know how one gets the radio to startup on carplay or zlink screen rather than the cheap homescreen first?
If you keep your phone unplugged, and open the app. There should be settings to adjust for it to startup at on power up!
Hey brandon what,s ur android stereo name?
I am looking to get this but can u tell me that will it works in topway android car stereo?

Android 10 is the most up to date android unit, which should have all the features you are looking for!
Does Apple CarPlay run smoother with the dongle than using the wireless carplay built in the android radio?
I think using the built in wireless is actually faster then using the dongle.

Does your Andriod car screen have already carplay or Andriod auto option in the Andriod unit to use this dongle
This radio did not. That is why I added the dongle to get CarPlay. I know many new radios come with it built in.
I finally have CarPlay again!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome! I am glad everything worked!

do I need to buy this exact dongle or is the main thing the apk and any dongle may work?
I have tested this with 2 different dongles. So you can use other brands if you want. The APK is what will get you the download for the app!
Just bought an Android aftersell sterio and it’s not compatible with carplay. Do you think I can use that ?
Just double check the description of the dongle. But I believe as long as you are running android 4.xx it will work.
Sir what brand is your android stereo and where did you buy it?
Here is the link to the radio. I ordered it from Amazon: amzn.to/2WAnTWk
@@BrandonStellmach sir which one do you prefer? This unitopsci or the binize that is about $229? The one thats installed in your car is the Binize unit right?
@@popoygravy5118 honestly they are the exact same, just the binize cost more. I don’t think you are getting any better quality. But yes I have a binize installed.
@@BrandonStellmach thanks ill guess ill get the unitopsci then. Lot cheaper. Wish me luck on my diy project. Thanks for your videos
@@popoygravy5118 it should go good! Pretty easy project to do!
Very good video, thank you for that! Just a question, this dongle has enough power to also charge the iphone battery when you are using carplay through cable? If yes, it works like a "slow charging" or it is more like a "regular one"?
Yes the dongle has enough power to charge your phone, but it’s a very slow charge( I mean super slow) about maybe 5-10% every hour. So I wouldn’t want to rely on it to actually charge your phone. But it’s nice that it will charge a few percent when you drive some where.
@@BrandonStellmach that's good to know...at least it doesn't lost battery percentage when using it...nice
@@impalerdrumer mine does
What version of software do you have on your radio? My main screen looks different. Yours looks way better lol. It’s the same radio.
I’m running android 9 on the radio. But you can always change the interface on the radio. If you go deep into the settings you can change it somewhere. I did it a long time ago, and that’s probably why it looks different.
@@BrandonStellmach How did you get it to run Android 9?
@@wrbrex5 it came with it when I bought the radio! I bought this almost a year and a half ago! Now all the radios are coming with android 10.
I have the same stereo (head unit) and the adapter for the applecarplay I downloaded it and it works but for some reason the quality/brightness is like dark and kinda dim yours looks more better quality clearer how do I fix that ?
The only thing that I can think of is there should be a brightness slider somewhere in the settings. And I believe I have mine turned all the way up.
hi kids see ghosts
Can I use the spotify with this apple carplay of the dongle ?? Cheers from Brazil
Yes you can use Spotify on Apple CarPlay!
Can i connect to the dongle via Bluetooth and not connect my phone to the dongle via USB cable?

You will need one of these if you want to connect wirelessly.

Would this fit on a 2016 gmc sierra
You will need an android head unit for this to work. If you have already installed one. Then yes you should be able to get this to work.
But this will not work on stock radio.
Hi mate do you have a problem with it swtiching off when you turn the car/ignition off, my screen just seems to keep on even when i lock the car?
That’s very weird, I have not heard of that happening, it sounds like the power is connected to an always on, and not accessory power.
@@BrandonStellmach cheers pal al have a look
Good video! 👍🏻
Your video helped me out a lot!
👍
Looking for a nice android head unit to install in my 2006 silverado but really want something that has 3 rca connections any suggestions?
I’m not that familiar with Silverado’s, but I can say look into idoing radios. I just installed one in my 2016 Toyota Camry! And it has all the fancy things like Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth. If you are curious if they have one, go to their instagram @idoing_media , and message them, they should be able to help you find one! 👍
What’s up man I’m having an issue where the apk app isn’t recognizing the box. Says please plug in box but everything is connected? App is up to date as well. Thanks
usually if this radio is not recognizing the box, the box might be faulty and might need a replacement.
Is this autokit app the same for auto android?
Yes it is.
My car infotainment system does not support factory Car play, after plugging it through can I get the to car play working?
No, this will not work. You will need to have a android radio that supports Apple CarPlay. And you can usually find that out, if you are able to download the app or not.
@@BrandonStellmach alright I got it, mine is just a normal one without the android auto, just navigation only. Btw thanks
Hi there,
I didn't realise until about the last 2 minutes or so, that this was about installing car play to android, when I want to install android to car play. Is there an adapter for that as well?
Yes, there is.
They do make dongles that will convert a CarPlay car into Android, but I have never tried them!
How do I get a USB port like that have the same radio need the usb
The radio I installed came with 2 USB ports to plug in accessories. Did you not see them in the box when you installed it?
Sorry for asking so many questions, and this should be my last one (hopefully). Are you able to talk to someone when they call you or do you disconnect the phone to talk?
Yes, you can talk through the speaker on the radio when someone calls. There is No need to disconnect.
when i connect to wifi via home router or hot spot on my phone it says limited connection and wont let me install anything or use any navigation apps because it wont let me log in. any solution?
I’m not sure what exact radio you are using, but if you have any way to reset it, like a small button in the front of the radio. Otherwise maybe just try to reset your home internet and see if that helps. Because I have never had that problem!
Hey Brandon, mine sometimes work and sometimes not detecting, do you know the issue?
IT sounds like the connection might not be good between the dongle and the radio. I would try another cable, or try to make sure it is not coming loose in the USB.
The link you provided does not work. I just purchased a Atoto S8 2nd gen head unit. Says it has CarPlay, but having a hard time trying to get it. Can you. PLEASE help
I just doubled checked the links, they seem to be working on my end. Not sure why they don’t for you.
But if the radio says it comes with CarPlay, you shouldn’t need to install anything.
I would look for an app that is called carlink, or Tlink.
It should be called something very similar. I hope this helps.
After removing the app, the link does work. But found out my CarPlay dongle doesn’t work with my stereo. I should’ve followed my first my mind and got the dongle you have. SMH, you live and learn. Great vid 💯
Just want to make sure, this is a Dasaita headunit with a non-Dasaita dongle? And it works just fine? I had a similar problem, Dasaita HU that stopped working with the Dasaita dongle after a system/MCU update. Bought a new Dasaita dongle and it still didn't work. Please clarify that detail, thank you.
This is a binize radio, and I was just using the carlink dongle with no problems. But I do have a dasita radio in my 2016 Camry, when I first got it I did get a dasita dongle, but it went bad after about a year, and so I just bought one of the carlink dongles and it works great as long as I downloaded the app for the carlink dongle!!
I hope this helps out.
@@BrandonStellmach wow perfect, and do you still update the dasaita head unit regularly or just the app?
@@seamericano i just update the app, I have never updated the head unit.
Hello. Really good video. Thank for the information. Does it work good if my radio hace 1gb of RAM?. Please let me know.
The radio I installed it on I believe had 2GB. And ran perfectly, so I would imagine 1GB would be good!
Hello, maybe you can help me, i have a peugeot 208, and my carplay always worked with my iphone 11 but since i bought the 12 it doesn’t work no more, i can’t find the carplay in my settings
Have you tried to update the software or the dongle? That usually will fix that!
Do you get notification sounds with your dongle in my other car with the android radio I get the dings but this one only notification sound I get is text messages all my other like Facebook, mail, doordash etc doesn’t make a sound.
I only get sounds from my text messages as well. I figure it’s just a safety thing, where Apple doesn’t want you to look at those other type of notifications while driving.
Yeah I think it’s a bug in iOS 15 cause I was getting the ding before now I don’t. The notification never popped up on the screen but it always made the ding noise before iOS 15
@@darrencraig4109 yeah it’s probably just a bug in iOS 15. I know they have been having many issues on iOS 15.
So my issues is my 2016 mazda doesn’t have a internet browser on the screen how can i download it w/o a browser
In order for this to work you will need to have an android head unit. If you don’t this will not work!
So do you have to keep the dongle plugged in?
Yes the dongle has to stay plugged in for Apple CarPlay to work!
How did u manage to setup the wig connection
I try to go in depth in the video, just need to install the software for the dongle and it should work with the radio!
Hey do you know how to change the ringtone for incoming calls?
That I’m not sure, I have never tried. But maybe it would be whatever your iPhone is set to. And that’s what the ringtone is.
hello, when I connect this device to the usb cable from the radio, the application does not detect anything. Could it be a faulty adapter or something else?
Yeah if it’s not detecting it, most likely a bad module.
But it wouldn’t hurt to just swap out any USB you are using to make sure it’s not a faulty USB.
very good video, thank you, my carlinkit connects for a few seconds and disconnects, I have Android Lollipop 5.1.1, do you have any solution?
That’s very strange, have you tried a different USB cable or a different USB port on the radio?
Can you install the APK without having the dongle? Or is it needed?
You can download the APK without the dongle!
Hey Brandon great video, do you have any idea how to change the default (horrendous) ring tone that comes on the unit when someone calls ? Mine sounds like wind chimes and random ass noises. Thanks any info is great
I have the same problem, and I looked and I couldn’t see anything. But luckily I don’t get many phone calls when I’m in my car, so it doesn’t bother me as much!
Is that a kingbeats radio?
This is a binize radio I ordered from Amazon.
Hey bro , does the dongle that you showed in the video still works? Cuz some people say that it doesn’t work on iOS 15 and above, tysm for the video 🙏🏻
I was using it on IOS16 when I had it. And worked great!
Can this be done on a factory sync 2 radio?
This can only be done to an android radio.
What the core of your android head unit and the ram and the rom?
I’m pretty sure it was a 4core processor, 2GB or ram. And 16GB of Rom.
@@BrandonStellmach thank you dude
hey brandon, is there any way to control the sound settings such as bass & treble if we got the wireless head unit from amazon?
The CarPlay module does not have any sound settings to adjust.
But the radio I am using does have EQ settings to adjust all the the treble and bass settings you need.
How do you do screen mirroring from your phone to the deck screen
There should be a separate app for screen mirror. And when you open it. You will click on the mirror screen on your iPhone. And it should pop up as a display!
Hi, can you please tell me what is this car stereo please?
Here is the link for the radio!
amzn.to/3Iakhwa
What s that toyota app on that stereo? What it would doo
The Toyota app is just to get back to the radio Home Screen!
bro i got the same radio unit but i had it for 7 months already and out of nowhere is not producing any sound out the speakers idk why! do you know anything about it? or wat can i do to fix it
its working and everything its just that
That’s weird I haven’t heard of that happening, the best thing to do is double check and make sure all the cables are pushed into the back of the radio. Also I believe there is a fuse in the back of the radio. Maybe double check that it didn’t get blown.
And maybe the last thing to try is get another speaker and replace it. Maybe the speakers blew. Would be very odd chance of that happening, but could have.
@@BrandonStellmach got u bro thanks for always answering 🔥
