Very good point! It hasn’t worked for me since the very first time I installed it. Never launches after that.
I guess every car is different, but I have not been experiencing any significant bugs lately.Very good point! It hasn’t worked for me since the very first time I installed it. Never launches after that.
Oh well, at least lucid is consistent in the awful quality of the software they’ve been releasing since they launched this car. I’ve now had my lucid GT for 13 months and really tired of dealing with the buggy software. The fact that I prefer to use my Volvo C40 EV most days, which is a 3rd of the price of thr AGT speaks volumes of how much this buggy sw has affected my driving decions.
I know the legions of lucid defenders here will jump to the defense and say why don’t I sell the car, believe me if the resale value wasn’t so terrible I would totally do it. Stepped back last month after driving this for 1 year and realized I shouldn’t have to deal with constant buggy SW after spending 150k for a car, so why do I still have this car
Sorry about your experience. Mine has not been the same. I’ve also had zero issues with CarPlay thoVery good point! It hasn’t worked for me since the very first time I installed it. Never launches after that.

Not the same experience here. What buggy things have you experienced?Very good point! It hasn’t worked for me since the very first time I installed it. Never launches after that.

No, the new firmware just released configures it to the Lucid screen. A Carlinkit works with any car that has CarPlay (or Android Auto). It is direct-wired. Once it is plugged in and configured, you can load virtually any Android app on the device you want. There's an app that will connect back to your iPhone and run CarPlay (your iPhone connects to this wirelessly).
No, no jailbreak. The Android tricks the Lucid into thinking it is an iPhone running CarPlay but in reality it is running Android. It then connects back to your iPhone and can run the CarPlay app within its environment. If you go to YouTube you can see people using it in any car that Supports either CarPlay or Android auto.
I had a similar experience yesterday with an incoming call while driving. I wasn't using CarPlay at the time but when the phone rang, up popped the CarPlay interface. Then when I hung up it went away again. Not sure if this is normal CarPlay behaviour but it struck me as a very neat implementation.
It’s not just about watching video. Both CarPlay and Android Auto work with a very limited number of apps. Using a Carlinkit, virtually any app available in the Android ecosystem can be used. In my case, I want to use the JBV1 app for my Valentine One Gen2. JBV1 is not available for Apple, and not available in Androud Auto. I now can use this app as my dashboard integrating radar sheets with Waze (which alerts to photo cameras,etc). Because I’m invested in an Apple ecosystem it allows me to use Android apps though CarPlay and avoid having to buy an Android phone just for this purpose
This is the intended behavior for CarPlay, not just in a Lucid. In any car.

What have you done so far to troubleshoot the situation?
Not yet as I’m already using both front USB ports … one for a wireless charger to compensate for the failed integrated wireless charger design, the other has a thumbdrive for music. I guess I could unplug the thumbdrive and test again. Wireless CP seems to work fine on the Carlinkit T2C I just got for my Model S.
Hmmm… That makes me wonder… Is your Tesla trying to pick up CarPlay and the phone confused? I’ve had this happen in the past with another car when I walk in the garage. Easy to test… does it pick up fine when away from home?
I have done the following since CP was added to the vehicle when CP fails to start:
