OctaviARGH

It's advertised & sold as supporting both, so I'm expecting so! My wife's using an identical dongle and I've labelled them to keep them separate, her phone is not paired to this dongle, it's meant to be just for my Android... but is not working out that way

Hi yes it's definitely sold as being compatible with both. I actually bought two - one is set up with my wife's iPhone, the other Yep it's activated - and I've gone into those developer options a couple of times to toggle it off/on again, but no joy sadly.

Hi thanks for the reply. I've downloaded the 0480 firmware, but am a little cautious after reading about the need to do more work to remedy errors that might arise on an upgrade. The dongle is a generic Chinese one that broadcasts Bluetooth and Wifi as 'smartBox-XXXX'; it works very well for the iPhone, but sadly not with a Samsung S23.

Good morning all, I've recently purchased a Carplay/Android Auto wireless USB dongle, in the hopes of connecting my phone (Samsung S23) to the infotainment system, to enable Google maps, primarily for the latest traffic situation on routes. The dongle works well with my wife's Apple iPhone - all set up easily, great. My Android phone won't work wirelessly - I connect to the Bluetooth of the dongle, it then seems to hand me off to a Wifi network provided by the dongle, but then the Bluetooth drops, the phone thinks all is well and prompts me to continue with Android Auto on the car screen, but the car screen never switches to Android Auto and the 'App' menu toggles between a screen suggesting Android Auto and Smartlink are available on the connection, then asking me to connect a device via USB - presumably as the connection comes up and then drops (& this repeats). I've seen there are known issues between Samsung and Skoda Android Auto and there is some suggestion that this can be fixed with an infotainment system update. My car is about 5 years old and I've never felt the need to connect it, but I just linked it to my home wifi network, asked it to check for updates and it says 'Service unavailable'. The infotainment details are: Device part number: 565035874 Hardware: H41 Software: 0478 Navigation database: 5L0051236DN 2210 ECE AS 24/25 SHIELD: SHIELD 2016-44 (build 309) It's a UK purchased & run car. Is this due an update? Is this the route to hopefully fix this issue? Many thanks!
