2016 Honda Accord Touring Installation and Observations

2016 Honda Accord Touring Installation and Observations
Installation and ObservationsiPhone 11Day 1 - Dec 7, 2020I was excited and somewhat worried after reading all the reviews and experiences, both positive and negative, about the various CarPlay wireless adapters. Any reader here will agree that wireless CarPlay will eventually become standard. However, for now these devices are the only options.InstallationAll of the following steps were performed in the driveway with the car in Accessory mode. I elected to try the unit without upgrading the software, per some of the instructions I have read. I plugged the USB C adapter into the adapter not realizing it was not all the way in. This slowed me down a bit at first. Be sure to look for a Red light on the unit when first powered. On first bootup, a couple of messages were displayed. One message asked if I wanted to use the attached device for CarPlay. The other message was to allow the Honda to use the CarPlay adapter to call emergency services if a crash was detected. I clicked okay for both. Next the display asked me to join a Honda-290F Bluetooth connection. I did that. After that I waited and nothing else happened. I realized my phone needed to disconnect AND forget the Honda Bluetooth built into the car. I deleted the Honda BT connection then I turned the ignition off and back on. This time the car connected to the device and the device connected to the phone without any problems. The phone connects using the BT connection Honda-290F each time it starts, then switches over to the WIFI connection (called Honda60 in my case). The Bluetooth then disconnects.The Honda WIRED CarPlay is not fast. Sometimes I can pull out of the garage and be a block down the street before the music starts. The CarLink2 unit adds more time for startup but that is a small price to pay. I tried a few different apps and everything works fine. The latency delay from switching songs is not that noticeable. Again, an acceptable tradeoff.Installation NotesBefore joining the Honda290 Bluetooth connection, I noticed a new WiFi service called VolkswagenG (or similar) and I tried to join it but it was password protected. Ignore any WiFi networks that initially pop up. After the initial BT connection is made, the device becomes a WiFi source and my phone automatically connects to it. CURIOUSLY once connection is established, my iPhone does not show the WiFi connection icon at the top of the screen (shows LTE), but Wi-Fi in Settings shows the connection to Honda60 while the Bluetooth is not connected to anything. See the attached screenshots. Perhaps a VPN connection? Dunno.Initial Observations, Comments and QuestionsAs of Day 1, I am happy. I don't like adding wear to the connection port. I used to have an iPhone 6 Plus and eventually had to have the port replaced.Since I am connected via WiFi from the phone to the CarLink2, I presume I cannot use my phone as a mobile hotspot. It won't matter because I don't have a plan that supports it.A few things to test:Steering wheel Next, Prev, Volume buttons - all work correctly. There is a slight lag as one song ends and the next one starts. Acceptable.Siri using steering wheel - works fineSiri using "Hey Siri" - works finePhone calls - works fineSound quality - surprisingly good. I think it uses WiFi rather than BlueTooth to send digital audio.Auto dimming at night - Have to check.Navigation volume - I checked it and the sound comes out of a different Nav speaker at the correct volume.Freeze / Lockup during initial testingI was testing the unit, going from one app to the next, coming out of an app called Audio Books when the device locked up. My iPhone was not locked. I disconnected the USB cable between the car and the CarLink2 for a few seconds and plugged it back in. It came up in about 30 seconds and everything worked fine. I came inside the house and opened the app on my phone and observed messages asking permission to use BlueTooth and connect to my network. It also indicated my library is empty although there is a book right there in the middle of the screen. Candidly I don't know how much the AudioBook app contributed to the lockup. I rarely use the app and it had a different look than I recall and indicated I was not logged into it. However, my phone did not lockup and the CarLink2 device did lockup. Perhaps I need to upgrade the firmware. I will continue to test the device over the coming days and post my observations. I will give the unit 3 stars for now and adjust over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Perfectly After Update
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022
This device worked exactly as intended with my 2022 Subaru Crosstrek- when it worked at all. The setup was simple: plug in to the car and connect to the device with Bluetooth. There’s no lag or glitches with the display. I was super happy with it… for the most part. However, I wish I’d read through the Amazon comments when I was first setting it up.

I used this for about 2 weeks and about 80% of the time it worked perfectly. The other 20% it wouldn’t connect to my phone no matter what I tried; unplugging the device, restarting my phone, turning the car off. I couldn’t figure it out. I came to leave a dissatisfied review after giving up on getting it to connect AGAIN, but saw a comment from another user talking about updating the device by connecting to it via its own wifi signal.

This process took about 10 minutes total but was otherwise very straightforward. Afterwards, the device connected to my phone immediately. I’m going to hold off on updating my review to 5 starts until I can make sure it works consistently, but I’m feeling hopeful!

Make sure to use the update procedure the very first time you connect to avoid any headaches with using this product.

EDIT September 2022 (about 5 months after purchase):

Still working great! There have been a few times recently when it has randomly disconnected after a few minutes of driving (the entire device seems to lose power and reboot). It hasn't caused any major disruptions nor does it happen frequently, so I'm still happy with it overall. Even with the hiccups, its definitely a must-have item!
