    I have a problem that if connect my phone via wireless sometimes not connecting and sometimes there a lag, so i try to use USB but the problem that the unit not recognise the CarPlay except if it’s on usb 1 , and the usb 1 is very slow to charging the battery so sometimes the battery for the phone is decreasing, so i need to choose stable CarPlay or charging the phone !! , so is there a way to make the CarPlay working with the USB type C plug maybe it will charge faster which is available in dudu 7 ?

              @Wass You have your answer here. Please read the above posts.

                @Wass
                Also: your phone will not charge faster on USB-C than on USB-A. Both are very low outputs.
                Buy a 12V usb-hub and insert it between one of your uSB-ports and your phone. That will charge faster.
                Or simply use Carplay wireless and load your phone via a cigarette heater plug (and buy a good one. Cheap ones give a lot of interference and may not load fast either)

                  surfer63 Can you please show me a picture or a url for the 12V usb-hub you mentioned because I didn’t know the type you mean

                    Is there a way to automatically start Carlink when I turn the ignition on and the unit wakes up from sleep?

                      If it is only to load your phone quickly, you can use this
                      or this.
                      but these are only (fast) loading USB-hubs.

                      When it comes to extending/splitting one of the unit USB cables and transmitting data, like for AA or CarPlay, it gets terribly difficult. In that case your need a USB hub with input and output, or a bi-directional USB-hub.
                      5 years ago I purchased an USB-hub with one input and two output cables and 12V powered, but I can't find it anymore. I can't find any like those anymore.

                      I used that on my PX5, years ago. Now I only use my phone wirelessly and power it via a cigarette heater plug (my 3rd plug as the previous two gave a lot of interference)

                      dudulover someone mentioned you can do that via Task. Like iOS Automation.

                          Tbui You mean Tasker? Just want to make sure it works before buying it.

                                      dudu-lai I tried more than 100 times actually wired Carplay not working except with the 4 pin port, i tried with the 6 pin the both usb ports but not working , also i tried with the usb c but not working, so i have only to choices, the first one that i use the wireless connection and that is very unstable connection and i can’t use the hotspot , the second choice that i use usb port 4 pin and that is very bad because my phone battery is decreasing because of the very poor charging.

                                          Wass We tested if the USB C and 4P USB ports could connect to the carplay.
                                          The charging speed is the same for both ports.

                                              dudu-lai ok i will wait for your testing , also Is there any way to make the charging faster ?

                                                  Wass Both USB C and 4P USB can be connected to the carplay. the USB output is 5V and 2A, there is no faster way to do this!

                                                      dudu-lai That is not correct on my unit (Dudu 7)
                                                      Only 4 pin usb can connect to CarPlay
                                                      Usb C will never connect to CarPlay
