    Hey everyone, I went through and got a 2020 JBL OE radio along with the amp and the harnessed need to do the conversion, but am having issues with CarPlay not wanting to hook up. I've tried doing a soft reset by holding down the VOL knob, but it isn't a absolute fix. The only thing I haven't tried yet is bypassing the USB jack and plugging at the adapter harness.

    Anyone else having intermittent issue with CarPlay hooking up on a 2020+ OE radio? Wondering if the unit I got was bad?

    When i had this setup in my 2019, the head unit was very sensitive to using an apple cable only.

    In the end it still was such crap I abandoned the conversion for a pioneer head unit which works perfectly.

    I got it there as well. There is a plug on the new harness that will fit into two different inputs on the back of the new head unit. Didn’t know where it went

    I had the same issue. Switched which plug it went to and it worked. The only issue I am having is the USB port adapters not working. I wound up cutting and soldering both to about a 6”-8” solid adapter. Only an Apple cable will connect and charge along with my wireless adapter.

    I know I’m nuts for not just going aftermarket but I didn’t want to have a separate mic just laying about and that jack being useless. I still can’t believe they sell the JBL as a premium.

    Also if you got the JBL, you need the ‘20+ amp as well.

    Thanks for the reply. I already have the amp, and really didn't want to possibly fry the HU by switching the plugs. I'll let you know if I have any issues with the CarPlay

    Did you have to break this down to put in the CarPlay usb unit or did you install it in a new housing

    I didn’t touch that. There is an adapter from the ‘18 to male usb and female usb to ‘20 that I chopped. I didn’t touch the dash usb switch.

    Did you get a radio with the navigation unit? I saw many on eBay that didn’t have it. On the head unit, there should be 2 “modules”.

    Just making sure. I saw a lot when I was looking that were JBL and no nav.
    This is the standard one. Does yours have a second row of plugs?

    Ok. Then you have the navigation. Did you get the adapter harness for that as well? Mine come up after a few minutes once it acquired the signal.
    IIRC, there should have been the radio adapters, USB adapters, gps adapter, and the amp harness.

    I’m purchasing a 2020 non jbl and installing into a 2018 non jbl.
    Would autoharnesshouse have what I need to plug and play? I noticed some question if the usb connection would work.
