Carlinkit 5.0 2air can't connect
I have a Carlinkit 5.0 2Air that I purchased in early 2025, and I have been using it with my Honda and an iPhone 15 running iOS 18.7.3. It has been working stably overall, although there have occasionally been some connection issues between the phone and the Carlinkit.
Today, the same thing happened. I started the car and drove for about 10 km, but even though all the necessary connections on my iPhone were enabled, it still could not connect to the Carlinkit 5.0 2Air.
I accessed 192.168.50.2 to check the device and upgraded it to the latest software version (see attached image). However, things became even worse after the upgrade.
The device now always shows that it is connecting to the phone, but nothing happens. The connection is never completed, even though I can still access 192.168.50.2.
I even performed a factory reset and deleted the CarPlay connection from my iPhone, but that did not help either. It shows that it is connecting, but then eventually returns to the list of connected devices without establishing a connection.
This is really frustrating. Is there any way to downgrade the firmware to an older version? When I click “Roll Back,” it says that there is no rollback version available.
