I stopped connecting my phone to the carlink. What I've done is stick a data only sim into the carlink device and make it a stand alone device. My phone now solely connects to the car rather than the carlink. It all works great now.
BUG: On .33 blind spot camera's stop working on a regular basis and when this happens, auto up and down for driver's side window does not work. Hope they get this fixed soon, very irritating.
