Well Boys and girls, let’s see how well this works. (CPlay2air)

There was a previous thread in this. I have one in my Porto and it works, mostly. It takes a minute to connect so some patience is required. Sometimes I get an error on startup but unplugging and replugging fixes it. Glad I got it even though it’s not perfect.

I can’t think of anything offhand, have you looked to make sure you’ve got Bluetooth on on your phone and that the device is showing up on your phone?

You know it will show up as “FERRAR-xxxx,” where the x’s are a four digit number, right? It won’t show up as “car2play” or anything like that.

First thing to do is update it using the little barcode type thing you scan. But I seem to remember someone else trying and it not working on the California T. If there is a separate UBS slot on the car, try that instead of the Carplay one.

I have one for my Alfa Romeo, which works but it's more of a pain in the neck than anything else, half the time it won't reconnect, it also tends to lock up the touch screen on the Alfa. I finally said the hell with it and just plug the phone in via the cable.

Don't bother to try to return it, they charge a restocking fee and by the time you pay to ship it to China, you're better off sticking it up on eBay.

 

No, it comes up with full CarPlay. Do you have a Porto or a Cali or something else? I know people with a Cali have had more problems.

I think it's quite dependent on the car, too (even if they say the car is supported). It's more reliable in my Mercedes than in the Porto. Maybe it doesn't like Italian cars as much (like your Alfa, too).

 

The simple fix is to trade your Cali in for a Porto.

McG...You might want to wait until late at night and you're drinking, then just hit the "Buy me now!" button on a sweet new Porto!
Or, just go spec a Roma!

You could send me an 812 and I could verify that it works before you get your own.

I just installed this and it works flawlessly with my 2017 Cali T. I originally had ordered this for my 911 and tried it in the Cali. It worked so then just ordered another for the California T. As I stated before it works flawlessly. Here is the amazon link.

I have the CarPlay option on my 2016 Cali T so I will try this soon.

Thanks for sharing!

I have the Carlink, and iPod(old version) and a charging pad nicely fit in the center console. Works perfectly. The car connects to the apple play and I simply place the phone on the pad and close the console. I placed a piece of foam under the fast charger to make it level.
