  • dudu7 having problems with CarPlay and AndroidAuto

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.

                  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

                        moaz3019 always update to the newest

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

                            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.

                                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.

                                    MrFixer still spotify lag and disconnection in 3.6

                                      8 days later

                                      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.

                                      a month later

                                      I have the same problem.

                                      Tengo el mismo problema, si no le doy a la aplicación Carlink, AA no se conecta automáticamente de forma inalámbrica

                                      6 days later

                                      Same problems here with brand new 10" dudu7 12Gb 256MB unit. I update it to 3.6 beta 2 but same problems with android auto. Phone is a Xiaomi poco x6 pro. The strange thing is that the phone immediately says: android auto connected. But the dudu7 does nothing. So than when i disable bluetooth on my phone and re enable it. Its mostly works but it seems i need to bring up the carlinkit app on display of the dudu7 first. Wil try the carlinkit in PIP today.

                                      Same issue for me. Very inconsistent but seems disabling Bluetooth on phone and reenabling works most of the time. The 1st connection from a cold start will always seem to fail. Using OnePlus Nord phone.

                                      I'll try again when the next version of the system is updated.
                                      The latest carlink will be updated with the latest SDK!

                                        DUDU-Meng I found a solution to make it work the first time turn on Hotspot before you open the carlink app and it will work I hope they will make a setting that will turn on Hotspot when the car start

                                          Buenas tardes, yo encontré la apk de la aplicación Carlink Link 2.0 y la reinstalare para comprobar si mejora la conectividad.
                                          Si alguien necesita la aplicación puedo compartirla
