Spinning wheel when connecting dongle

Carplay

Hello

I’m stuck with a spinning wheel when I plug in my Carlinkit CPC200-CCPM and struggling to solve it.

I am using a R-Pi 4. 64 bit OS.

I installed using the script.

When I run dmesg I am getting

[ 212.467242] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=1314, idProduct=1520, bcdDevice= 4.09

I’m currently powering it with a 30W laptop charger so should be getting enough power.

How do I check that it has properly downloaded the APK? My iPhone 15 does not give the CarPlay prompt when I plug it in.

All suggestions welcome! Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi, which dongle are you using? - ignore me I just read the message again!

Try and run v3 in the GitHub releases

Thanks for the quick reply.

I replaced the AppImage with the 64-bit v3.0.2 and it has downloaded the APK now.

But on launch I get this error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:

Error: LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE

That displays on the screen and I have to click OK to clear that before the app loads but I get a blank screen. The console output is:

Should I rebuild from scratch on v3.0.2 or is replacing the AppImage enough? Not sure what other dependencies changed?

Additionally, if I launch the app without the dongle connected it launches without the javascript error and then I plug in the dongle I get:

Hello!

Did you create the required udev rules? Run the following from a terminal if you haven’t already:

FILE=/etc/udev/rules.d/52-nodecarplay.rules
echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTR{idVendor}==\"1314\", ATTR{idProduct}==\"152*\", MODE=\"0660\", GROUP=\"plugdev\"" | sudo tee $FILE

Restart and then try again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’d used the install script to set it up so the dev rule was there but I double checked and it is there. So no change.

I might do a Lineage build just to verify the dongle works.

I think it was a bad USBC cable…

:rofl: good to know for the future!
