Glad to hear this product works! Not crazy about the $145 price.I just bought the carlinkit 2.0 from amazon last week. I bought the one that is listed for Pioneer/Kenwood/Alpine. I just plugged mine in in the USB outlet in the center arm console so it's hidden away from view. Works perfectly fine. Only thing is sometimes it takes about half a minute to initially connect, but once it does it works like a charm.

Me neither. But the convenience of it sure pays off for me. Plus, my aunt just got the Audi E-Tron Sportback couple weeks ago, and I was super jealous of the wireless carplay so I had to try to make it work in my JL lol.Glad to hear this product works! Not crazy about the $145 price.
Thanks for sharing! Question, why did you go with the Pioneer / Kenwood / Alpine version vs. the "White, for factory carplay car" one? Also, did you have to do a firmware upgrade? I like the safety / convenience of buying through Amazon. . . .I just bought the carlinkit 2.0 from amazon last week. I bought the one that is listed for Pioneer/Kenwood/Alpine.

Because I'm a little OCD and think the white is ugly lol. With Amazon free return I figured if it didn't work, then I'll try the white version lol. I know, I'm an idiot.Thanks for sharing!

I did do a firmware update, which initially I was hesitant at first. In a macrumor forum thread about the dongles, there were some that said do not update as it stopped working, but I did it anyway and it works perfectly. Took couple times for the upgrade as it was slow, but it works good.
Which Uconnect do you guys have? 8.4 inch or the 7 inch!? And how do you guys like it so far?Appreciate the tip. Just purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086JN1SGX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Arrived next day. Works flawlessly. Went ahead and updated the firmware. Really love it.
Hi, I have the 8.7 inch info system. So far working great! Only on my 3rd day. Today for some weird reason it took about 30 seconds to connect. Normally has been under 10 seconds.Which Uconnect do you guys have? 8.4 inch or the 7 inch!? And how do you guys like it so far?
