dudu7 having problems with CarPlay and AndroidAuto

BBenAriel · 17 Jan

MrFixer yeah same I found a way to connect for first time you need to turn on hotspot before opening the app then it will connect for the first time but still audio problems with audio lag or even some thing new happen to me its the app is crashing and I need to reconnect

Wireless Android auto is totally useless. Does not connect every time, very unstable. Tried with One plus 10 Pro with Android 14, One plus 13 with Android 15 and Samsung s22 with latest updates. Wired Works only If the USB cable is plugged in before starting the Dudu7. This is with newest Dudu7 software.

I have same problem sometimes it connects immediately, sometimes needs 2-5 attempts. for both wireless or USB connection.

BBenAriel · 19 Jan

does any one know if they are even trying to fix it ?

Ddogsfoot · 19 Jan

Wass Do you have carlink set as default app for startup ?

SSuki4th · 20 Jan

dogsfoot Yes, no help. Hopefully next updates fixes this and brightness control, If not it is just expensive junk...

Suki4th Maybe it doesn't meet all your hopes and expectations but far from junk, and leads the pack against all other android head units. Reset your expectations and enjoy the unit for everything that it does do good.

picasso1850 There's a fair few bugs with the Dudu7 and lack of reliable AA and CarPlay connectivity (wireless and wired) is a bit of a deal breaker for many customers. It needs rectifying urgently.

BBenAriel · 20 Jan

MrFixer Yeah I am with you men AA and CP is what I use the most when I am in my car.
My friend got some android HU with 4 gb of ramm and it's got tlink 5 it's working all the time first connection no problem at all no music lag or any thing and I did noticed that it's got hot spot all time on and that help it connect for the first time

picasso1850 Why should i reset my expectations for something this expensive when 40 dollar radio can do these thing without problems? Maybe they should test the product before putting it to market? Ok, it sounds good and radio works fine and display looks good...

I have zero problems with AA connected via USB. Wireless does randomly disconnect and spotify is laggy.

Ddudulover · 24 Jan

Where can I get the latest version for carlink? I can’t seem to connect my iPhone

BBenAriel · 26 Jan

android auto wireless just disconnecting it self randomly, and got very high audio lag pls fix it !!

Ddogsfoot · 27 Jan

BenAriel I`ve given up on android auto and just use apps instead now. Wireless AA is useless.

Ddogsfoot · 27 Jan

dogsfoot This aged well.
I agree. I`ts useless.

BBenAriel · 27 Jan

dogsfoot no it's not just on dudu it's not working good at all

Ddogsfoot · 27 Jan

BenAriel Well yeah, that`s why we are here.

I have solved this by ordering cheap wireless Android auto dongle, which is connected all the time to Dudu. Not perfect solution, but works better. If i have known about these problems before buying, i wouldnt have bought it. Next time Joying...

Suki4th

Joying is FYT too. It comes with exactly (!!) the same Carlink APK. DuDu doesn' t make the Carlink.apk, FYT does.
Don' t think AA/Carplay will work better on another FYT unit. It will work just as good or bad as on a Dudu. And problems are mostly with Carplay.

Edit: did you disable phone hotspot and/or VPN connection?

surfer63 I dont use hotspot or vpn. So they don't affect to Android auto.
