Three questions so far in testing the unit.

1. Sound - the only way I get sound to play over the speakers from the android unit is if I - based on a you tube video - go to OEM screen select Aux set the sound level and when it turns red but don't go back. Switch to Android screen by tapping the screen. Then I can hear the sound in the android screen.

Is this the way the sound has to played in this unit?

2. CarPlay - how to set it up?
Watched you tube videos. Disconnected from OEM Bluetooth. Connect to Android Unit Bluetooth. Connected to WiFi hotspot from phone. The Zlink app almost launches immediately. It keeps rotating saying connecting. But does not connect. I also clicked on the bottom right red icon. It said about activation. I pressed the refresh button and it said activation successful. But still not able to connect.

The Android Auto app does not connect at all. Perhaps I need the usb dongle for that.

3. WiFi - not sure why but keeps disconnecting a lot when I go to OEM screen and back or at times in the middle of a zlink app. I need to keep checking and reconnecting it.
