Blog Comment: Android Carlink kit

Hi
Sorry to hear of your problems. My experience was very positive and I have used the Carlink device in both a Ford Ranger and a new Land Rover Defender. Both vehicles ran ExplorOz seamlessly.
Attached are photos of both sides of the device.

Here is your answer - I have 2023 MUX and this was the solution

The Isuzu USB does not seem to have enough power to drive the Carlinkit. Carlinkit sell an adapter which I bought, Then I bought the the one on link below because I think it is a more elegant solution.Mine runs perfectly now. The one below is $14.00 plus postage.

I can post you the carlinkit one if you like for a few bucks plus postage - It is $20.00AU on their site. It worked perfectly. I just preferred the one below.

Message me if you have any more questions


Zemel - Type-C Adapter Cable With Dual USB Type-A For Extra Power Supply Suitable For USB-C External Hard Drive Portable HDD



USB Adapter

my device is exactly as Vic4WD has posted and as I posted previously its working perfectly on 300 series Landcruiser

The solution for the Isuzu was not a bigger cable - It was a double USB cable (it has 3 ends)- You plug one USB into the comms USB port and the other one into the adjacent cigarette socket using a normal Cigarette socket power supply. Then you plug the USBc into the AI box. This seems to be a Isuzu specific problem. The Carlinkit worked perfectly (without the additional power supply) in my wife's car which has a 10 plus year old aftermarket Pioneer head unit, but would not work in the MUX. This was the solution provided by the Carlinkit help centre and it worked perfectly. With the Carlinkit cable you need 2 cables, hence my preference for the other one.

Good morning,

Thanks, really appreciate your input. Another member also mentioned the power issue.

I will purchase an additional power cable to eliminate any potential issues.

Thanks again.
