Carlinkit 4.0 issues (cannot update)
I have recently purchased a Carlinkit 4.0, the reason I got this is because I have a 2017 Mazda 6 and with Android Auto they disabled the touchscreen, but Carplay still has it enabled. So I know that this runs AA through the Carplay protocol and was hoping to have it work.
For the most part, it does! But there are some issues I have found with it.
It's a bit laggy compared to wired.
The resolution is messed up so it's blurry and squished.
The command knob (Mazda's universal control for their head unit) has issues where some controls don't function.
The third issue is a major problem for me, so I figured I'd try to update the firmware, and I found that I have one of the modified ones that use the IP 192.168.50.100 instead of 50.2. and the settings are very limited.
I followed the steps to update the firmware but it doesn't seem to work (the red light doesn't start flashing at all)
The problem I see is that the build number is different than the firmware files I see online and I'm not sure how to decipher it.
I have attached a photo and would appreciate any assistance if possible.
Thank you.
