CarPlay dongle installation

If you have ordered the CarPlay dongle kit, you will have received the following in addition to the standard components:

  • Connect the CarPlay Dongle into the spare USB port on the Odroid
  • Connect the USB extension cable into the spare port on the USB hub at the back of the touchscreen, and run it along to the bottom of the A-pillar on the drivers side
  • Mount the USB microphone at the top of the A-pillar (have it poking out from the gap in the trim as shown below), and run the cable down behind the A-pillar and connect to the USB extension cable
  • Plug in your charging USB cable into the CarPlay dongle, and connect your phone
  • Watch my demo video which explains how to launch CarPlay: https://youtu.be/mP6CuUKE4BI

If you need to re-install the CarPlay app for any reason you can download it here, it will ask you to update after installation and also ask you for various permissions, which you need to accept:
