dudu7 having problems with CarPlay and AndroidAuto

dogsfoot

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

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

BenAriel

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

dogsfoot

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

BenAriel

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

dogsfoot

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...

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.

surfer63 There is definitely a problem with AA and CP on the Dudu7. I have installed 40+ headunits in the last year, including around 10 FYT UIS7862-based units. No problems with any of those. Did an install of a cheap $120 Eonon unit today, Rockchip 3562 - they always connect wirelessly to AA - 100% first time, every time. Dudu7 is priced and positioned as a 'premium' unit but so far does not meet that aspiration. Hardware is good but the software/firmware needs a lot more work.

I did not deny there is a problem. I just mentioned it is a FYT. Buying a Joying 7870 or a Mekede 7870 is not different for Carlink than a dudu7. Carlink is 100% FYT without interference from one of the brands/resellers.
Don' t think that buying another 7870 will fix it. It will be fixed when FYT fixes it for the 7870.

And it can be totally different on a 7862 or a 8581. I simply can't compare.

Suki4th

Seems that after 3.6 update, the Android auto connects to my phone wireless. 3 connections today without problems... Hopefully its fixed.

Edit: I didn't do factory reset after updates.

Suki4th has it given you any issues yet? I'm considering updating

BenAriel

moaz3019 always update to the newest

Suki4th

moaz3019 No, it is much better! Android auto connects now almost always without problems. I only lost saved radio stations on update.

MrFixer

surfer63 I have installed a Mekede M7, which is an FYT 7870 unit. AA and CP worked reliably on that unit when I tested it. There are reports that Dudu7 v.3.6 (beta) update has more reliable AA and CP connectivity. Not tried it myself yet.

dogsfoot

MrFixer still spotify lag and disconnection in 3.6

dogsfoot

FYI, today I checked for updates on google play store and all apps on headunit needed updating including Android auto, Waze and spotify.
Dont know if has changed anything yet as havent had a chance to try.
Never know, it could fix things.
Worth trying.

I have the same problem.
