2019RS5Sportback

Would it be possible to share the file? I also received one for Christmas....

I got the update to finally take. It looks like they're not cumulative. It would update, say "Update Success", and then show "New Version Found" when I refreshed the page. I ended up installing 4 updates before it no longer said "New Version Found".

1.Please download the firmware update file from here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KKP...ew?usp=sharing

1. Please save update firmware file on USB flash drive (Flash drive format must be FAT32)
2. Plug the flash drive into the CPLAY2air adapter.
3. Plug CPLAY2air into the USB power charger/wall charger for your iPhone. Please don’t use the USB port of the car or computer!!
4. Please wait 2-3 minutes, until the flashing light becomes solid
5. Please unplug the adapter from the USB charger and remove the USB flash drive from the adapter.
6. Please now plug the product into the USB port of the car.
7. Please wait until the new window will appear on the vehicle's screen.
8. Connect your phone to the Bluetooth network which is shown on the screen.
9. Wait for the new interface to appear on the screen.

Very Important note: Do not attempt to connect the adapter to your computer's or laptop's USB port. These ports are made to transfer data and will just interrupt the update process and brick the device.

Yeah, I really like it. I only had a couple of issues at the beginning trying to update it but it's fine now. The instructions aren't particularly clear but basically you just connect the phone to the device via Bluetooth.

yeah i've had mine for a while. there was def a big issue with firmware early on but it's been very solid for me.

TY for the input. and to verify this is the Car2Play adapter? or something else.

bobdolex

the one that i and a couple other people on this thread have is . i believe there is a slightly newer version than that one on amazon now.

i know some other people have the car2play. it's probably all the same thing but i personally don't have that one.

I have the CarLinkit 2.0 that's linked above. I'm not sure what the different models are for as I bought a bunch for friends and family for Christmas (ironically I got one as a gift) and when I contacted CarLinkit to ask which one I should buy for a specific car, they always linked me to the same model.

With the current firmware update, are there any negatives still? Stability of the connection? Time it takes to connect once in the car? Call and/or music quality through CarPlay? Unable to use typical buttons (I.e. track forward on the steering wheel)? Anything you could see as an improvement vs an OEM wireless system?
