Add wireless Carplay to Gen2 Raptor for $85.00

[Shark]

This may have already been discussed before, but I picked up this wireless Carplay adapter on Amazon for $85.00 and it works perfectly in my 2017 Raptor. I did have an issue with connection at first, but followed the instructions to update the firmware, and that fixed the issue. From the time I start the truck until Carplay is ready is about 15 seconds and the phone never has to leave your pocket.

How much do you want for it? PM me, might take it off your hands.

I'm not selling, just passing the info that it works fine with our trucks. Click Amazon link above to buy one.

@Shark do you have any issues with Pandora skipping and replaying the first 1-2 seconds of a song every time a new song autoplays? I got the Carlinkit for ~$90 and the connection is great. All other apps are great, but Pandora and I can't figure out why it does this...

So what does this do exactly.....

My Iphone connects to the stock CARPLAY wirelessly w/o problem. You may need to re-Connect of update carplay. No need for addl. outside equipment.

I didn't think this was possible on the Gen 2?

If you're connecting wirelessly to CarPlay, how? Like the OP I have to use a dongle to connect my iPhone wirelessly.

Nice… might have to pick one up. Question… will it allow the use of navigation wirelessly? Thank you.

Seems like it's dependent on the batch you get from Carlink, I got two separate wireless carplay kits from them, updated firmware, and never got either to last more than 2 weeks before I encountered countless connectivity problems. Others have had no problems at all, so buyer beware.

The options listed are for 17-22 model years. I’ve got a 2016 that didn’t come with CarPlay. However, I replaced the USB interface with one for a 2018 Focus. Hoila, CarPlay. So, guessing it should work for me. If not, I can use it in my wife’s 2018.
