Nothing on that box is better than 4.0. Just as 4.0 didn't work for me, 5.0 doesn't work correctly either.
Even if it costs €5, there is nothing worth noting.
Not anymore.
It is currently back on its way to the dealer.

Marcel

Everything works as it should. The error will be somewhere else... I have version 4.0. Stable, connects immediately, does not fall. Spotify is even patched... Full satisfaction for me.

Ordered today. I wonder how it will work with kia

Tomas

I don't recommend it, I've had Carlinkit 5.0 since December and even after changing the settings (recommended by the manufacturer), the phone (Samsung s10e) randomly disconnects by itself. I regret that I did not have time to return it within the 14-day period.

Marek

It disconnects for me too, especially when the phone signal drops. I don't understand why when the connection is via wifi, it's sometimes annoying.

Peter

That's right, it disconnects, often crashes, displays messages that it needs to be disconnected and reconnected. I have a Xiaomi 13, not recommended for me.

Frederik

It works for us without any problems with the iPhone.

Jozko

Another answer from an expert 🙂
he's downloading to Android and you're saying that you're fine with iOS...
So far, everyone who wrote has problems with Android, and according to the comments, it doesn't matter what kind... but that is due to the lack of packaging of Android Auto itself, which has never dazzled with stability

Marek

Regarding stability, I also have a problem with AA, it disconnects quite often, the version of the box is 5.0 and I use a Google pixel 6 phone

Martin

I bought two pieces and both work without problems both with ios for my wife and for me with s23. Great device for me. We use it in kia proceed GT 2021 and ssanyong korando 2022.

Robert

please, does everything appear on the screen in YouTube and movies and applications downloaded on the phone?? thank you, we bought korando

Marek

I have a Kia Sportage 2018, Xiaomi Mi11 lite, Carlinkit 5.0 2air. Sometimes it randomly disconnects, sometimes either Waze or Spotify freezes. But every time I have an incoming call, the box disconnects and the call is received directly via bluetooth, a direct connection between the phone and the car, after the end of the call it takes about 10-15 seconds before the connection is restored via Carlinkit

It works for me even though it went off once or twice. I disconnected the cable and it worked fine. I've had it for about 2 month. So far I'm satisfied. I'll see when I go on vacation to BG if it's still connected or if it's going to drop out

Both

Why buy it when it works without these boxes.

Fero

The problem is that Android Auto connects like Apple Car Play. The sound of the speaker for calls keeps popping up. I have version 4. It is definitely worth more to get a better brand like motorola for a wireless android car.

Me and you

What is feedback???

Frederik

Feedback is feedback 🙂

Karol

You need to change the channel for wifi connection in the settings. I liked it too. Completely stable since then. You have to use the AutoKitools setup application that they offer for download on the home page. Then you can also update it.

Vlado

Thanks for the coupon. Despite the conflicting feedback, I couldn't resist and placed an order. We'll see what it does 🙂

Frederik

After the latest firmware update, the box should work without problems on Androids, a few people wrote it on FB in the comments. Works great on iOS.

Vlado

Bingo, 22.11. the order was made and 2.12. the box arrived happily. After unpacking, I was surprised how tiny the Carlinkit 2air is, I wonder if they sent me something else by mistake :).. I immediately understood why there was a piece of double-sided glue in the package. The small adapter can be attached in the car to the most suitable place for us. Everything was fine in the package. After pairing the adapter with the mobile via BT - the diode implemented in the company name on the adapter flashed from red to blue to green almost immediately. I left both data and WiFi activated on my mobile. After that, the screen in the car itself detected a new connection and asked for permission to connect AndroidAuto. I happily obliged and tapped the Waze icon. The voice command to set the destination of the trip was implemented immediately. Waze behaved stably all the way through the mountainous terrain as before when the mobile was connected by cable. The phone call also went as usual. No spontaneous disconnection occurred while driving. When getting into the car, the AA connected maybe a second longer. That's probably the only thing I noticed. Absolute satisfaction. I haven't been able to try more yet, and actually I don't use it much for driving or other things. For info used devices: Xiaomi 14T Pro, Rifter 2024. Thanks for the tip.
