yup, i believe it is safe to upgrade to ios 14. the issues i had with carlinkit started when i upgraded the device's firmware back in june.

New update out for carlinkit 2.0

Is the new firmware working better?

Seems to be. My phone call seems to have zero lag And I heard only one minor skip during a Spotify playback. No pop and cracking as of yet.

That’s great. I’m going to give it a shot.

Thanks for letting us know.

ive taken two drives with the new firmware. The first drive had the same exact problems. Started crackling about 5-10 mins into the drive.

the second drive was better and didn’t notice any issues.

hopeful but cautious

Guys, I manually updated with a file sent by carlinkit to the June update. Still the same problems (delays and cracking). However, it's making me put in a username and password to check for the latest updates. Anyone else seeing that? Wonder if it's because I updated via a USB stick vs. online. I've been waiting for carlinkit to send me credentials, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions aside from going back-and-forth with their support.

My best suggestion is to try admin/admin or admin/password for the credentials. Can you upgrade to the new July update? Maybe ask them to send you the new firmware if you can’t upgrade yourself

It gets stuck for a few times when downloading. I’m still not able to complete the download yet.

They got back to me and this time the username/password worked. Now, I'm battling with the firmware download issue mentioned by a few people (starts downloading but stalls). Will try again later. Sounds promising!
