    Not quite. First connect Carlinkit dongle thru USB-A or USB-C and let it start operating. Then, pair your phone with the Bluetooth device advertised by the Carlinkit dongle. In my case, the device name started with Lucid_ and eneded with xyz where xyz was not matching the native device name...

    Android Auto Thursday

    Thank you for posting, I appreciate it. I see the same issue as what I observed with native Car Play, i.e., the used area is limited to a rectangle within the cockpit LCD leaving the precious right area and the top area (not as much) unused. This is in contrast with the built-in map app. I read...

    Do you mind posting pictures of Google Maps, your music player, and App list on Cockpit screen? Thank you.

    You are using a different model than what I was using. How does yours scale the LCD cockpit? The same problem I had or it scales full screen with no problems. If so, do you mind dropping in a pointer to the device or its manufacturer and model number? THanks.

    Yes. The car only has one USB-A port, and the device I was using connected thru USB-A port.

    There's only one USB port in the car, at the far end center of center console closer to the center glove box. The dongle has a short USB cable and thus will have to sit inside the center console close to the USB port. Once plugged, follow the Bluetooth connectivity instructions that come with...

    It is AA on my Android phone connecting wirelessly to the Car Play dongle, but the dongle itself is connected to the car thru the USB port. The map screenshot is showing google maps.

    By way of introduction

    Proud new owner of Air Touring wants to say hi! I test drove Lucid Air back in '22 and was seriously contemplating its acquisition but did not go for it because I was concerned about initial release issues. Fast forward 3 years and I took delivery of my Air Touring from Lucid showroom in...

    Hi all. I got AA working using the dongle below that I ordered from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9ZH8BS9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 I did not like the fact that it was not scaling on cockpit LCD, so I let it go. Tried Car Play and saw that was cutting the side of...

    Navigating the Unexpected: A Two-Week Journey with My New GT and a Flat Tire

    I usually order Lexanis directly from Amazon or eBay reputable sellers. Right now, Amazon deals on Lexani 245/40ZR20 are better than great. I have a local tire shop that charges me $25 a tire for balance and replacement, albeit you can order mobile service from Amazon for the same price.

    Navigating the Unexpected: A Two-Week Journey with My New GT and a Flat Tire

    I have been driving sport sedan Maseratis and Porsches on Lexani tires for few years now. I am very much satisfied with the handling and tread wear of those tires, the exception being somewhat compromised wet traction (which is not a major factor here in Southern California). There is a lot of...

    Lucid Mobile Tire service

    Here we go. I also got 4 PC jack rubbers, they help elevate the jack higher as needed while protecting the chassis. These were also recommended by Lucid service folks. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRRTC4WG/?coliid=IB22WTQG5ACPX&colid=34NPIBV16SY85&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_lstpd_6P9YQH0EZXGCQQB6Y2KW

    Mojave Leather

    Thank you for the replies. I figured out that my AT with 14-way seats does have Tahoe leather, the best indicator is that the front dash is also leather trimmed instead of fabric. That aside, I was told by one of Lucid Studio folks in OC CA that for model year '25, only AGT (and perhaps Sapphire...

    Lucid Mobile Tire service

    Hello. I asked Lucid service center in OC CA and was told only one 3 TON jack will do the trick. They also sent me a picture with the lift spots.

    Mojave Leather

    Good day community. I took delivery of my Air Touring this past weekend. Loving the car but I am curious about its interior, hope some one can shed some light to my questions below. I ordered my car with Mojave Leather interior for an upgrade charge of $3,000. I read that leather interiors come...
