anyone have their CarLinKit die? Mine kicked the bucket Tuesday night. Completely unresponsible. Tried to re-install per original instructions, but nothing. Car doesn't recognize that there unit is attached so the MMI doesn't display the startup/configuration screen. Connecting my iPhone via the physical cable brings CarPlay right up on MMI so its not the car or iPhone. Ordered a new one via Amazon to see if that "solves" the issue.

BTW, Amazon is delivering these within a couple days now with Amazon Prime....or so the claims. There is also a $20 coupon for a purchase price of $129.99.

Did you try reaching out to the company for a warranty claim? Perhaps they can help you out

PWDRSKR

No, not yet. Its been ~1/2 year so not sure if warranty applies still. Complicating things is my email client had issues a few weeks ago and all records of the purchase were deleted (along with all my other electronic receipts/proofs of purchase)...

I think it should at least have one year warranty.

By the way, this is the latest firmware (2020.01.22.2233) on my Carlinkit. Is that the same for everyone?

2017A6

No. there should be one from June. I just updated. 2020.06....

stwus

that is strange. I checked it a few times and it says it’s the latest. 🤔

i thought my last firmware update was from january or february. i wonder if there is a way to get the latest firmware

edit: i emailed the company, ill see if they can send an updated firmware

2017A6

Current version

Any chance there can be different versions of this thing, therefore different firmware?

bobdolex

This is my latest firmware. It’s possible there are multiple devices. I remember they were updating almost daily and then the updates just suddenly stopped
