Carlinkit device dropping out

Thanks, I have never touched it from the day I had it working.

I wasn't game as it took me a couple of attempts to get it functioning.

I have just checked and it seems it must have auto updated as it shows 2025 05 06. It must have auto updated as it shows current when I checked to verify.

Thanks, however the device sits in the same place as it always has.

That is, on the shelf immediately below the head unit on a dedicated short USB lead feed input that is specifically for the OEM head unit.

Ambient temperatures the last few days have been high 20's with no air-conditioning

It has never been issue in the past even in high 30's temp and the air-conditioning going and and a dcdc load to a caravan.

It turned off 3 times in a row on the last leg of a trip on Monday and we have been parked up since.

We are moving on today for a few hundred km and so hopefully it will not do it again. If it does then it is a device issue.

It has dropped out once or maybe twice a few months ago but in those cases it didn't repeat the issue immediately like it did the other day.

Hopefully today its back to normal for some reason as I am relying on using it for Traveller for my waypoints to some old well offroad favourite treks and places of many years ago.

If not, then I will use Traveller on my tablet however its handy having it on the OEM screen at a glance when driving. I have got accustomed to that

Thanks David & Michelle. I appreciate you making comment and offering help via the help desk.

Today we only travelled 200km and it behaved itself. I won't bother you over the next 4 or 5 days as we will be doing short offroad treks revisiting old haunts...sort of a nostalgic trip from the swags and then camper trailer days.

If it starts being a pain and dropping out regularly then I will make contact.

The vehicle is a Landcruiser 300 GXL if that helps as far as head unit specs goes.

Glad to hear your short camp out was beneficial to you both. Hope its all going to work out for you and you can resume your lifestyle before too long.

I no longer have a VHF radio and never installed it in this vehicle so i am unable to help you.

Thank you for the reply. Tony

Tony, the Carlinkit is basically a small Android device similar to a mobile phone so don't see it causing any interference with any other device.

thanks, I'd like to hope they dont cause an issue. I am keen to find anyone who might have one with a HF radio in their vehicle. No one thought the Android OS radio we got would cause interference. When we started asking the dealer advised they had not used the radio with HF so didnt really know if it would be ok. I dont have a spare wad of cash to keep buying radios to try in the hope they work. It would be great if you could get a local dealer with a unit to try first but I havent found any although a trip to Sydney could be fun. Thanks for the reply
