Carlinkit Wireless Upgrade Activator

[SKStinger]

Hope you receive yours. I ordered mine at the end of March and it didn’t arrive. He is sending another but who knows when it will show up.

I just ordered the Carlinkit 2.0 for my 2019 GT2 AWD Stinger - It's $149 on Amazon, but Amazon currently has a $20 off coupon on this device so I bought it. I'm anxious to try it out. I will reply once I have had a chance to connect and use the device with feedback and my experience (I also just ordered the latest map update, which includes enhancements to various features with maps and CarPlay).

Too bad Kia did not just add wireless CarPlay to the Kia Stingers. Grrr.

Same here. I actually just filed for an A to Z guarantee refund through Amazon. Ordered on April 20, and the tracking last updated on April 24th. Pretty dumb.

Amazon gave me back my refund... mine left Singapore a lifetime ago.
i will wait later when international shipping are more stable.

I’ve had mine now for 12 weeks & it works great, once initial set up it works seamlessly every time without any issues during my day to day use.

Well. I'm sorry to say...I contacted Amazon and informed them that I could not get any response from the seller of the Carlinkit 2.0. Amazon cancelled my order and refunded my monies. They also stated that they are going to investigate this seller and will most likely remove them from their store. Ugh.

I suppose I need to find another option for wireless CarPlay.

If anyone has any alternative options, please let me know.

So my Amazon order delivered today - The same order Amazon said they cancelled for me earlier this week! I also have a 2nd CarPlay2Air shipping straight from the manufacturer. Ugh.

I connected the unit to my car and it works flawlessly! It's awesome to have wireless CarPlay!

Once the 2nd unit arrives, I will either send it back for $129 refund, or if anyone is interested in purchasing it from me for $129, feel free to message me.

‍Oh geez. How long ago did you order from Amazon? Mine was ordered around April 20th. Tracking last updated on April 24th.

I ordered it this week, but after I placed the order, I read this forum and the negative reviews about the seller on Amazon. I contacted the seller through Amazon and did not receive any reply for two days. I then contacted Amazon and they said they would cancel my order and refund my money. And then the device delivered today, lol. Also, the seller replied to me today and apologized, saying the because of Covid-19 all shipments have been delayed.

However, because Amazon Support told me they'd issue a refund, I went to CarPlay2Air site directly and ordered from them and it's currently en route to my house. So I guess I will have two devices. I'm sure I'll return the one from Amazon because it's easier to return items through them.

Good luck. I hope you get some sort of resolution.

Well I got my refund for the original Amazon order from April. I can’t imagine I’ll ever actually get it. That’s a long time. It may be at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. Haha.

It will come. I ordered March 29th, got refunded yesterday and now it has arrived in Canada with a delivery date of June 25th. Prior to arriving in Canada the tracking was last updated on May 2nd.

Ha! Unreal.

Haha yep. I also ordered a Carplay2air so I’ll have both to test out now and one for sale eventually.

Well if my original order does eventually come, I’ll just put it in my wife’s Sorento.

I will, as well, be having two as mine from Amazon has been refunded but left SG last week. Ordered was made beginning of April so there is hope ...
I ordered a replacement through Carlink as other have done this week, $116USD is a good price for it !
