1) ENET cable (bought from amazon)

3) solid internet connection. I used my iPhone as hotspot.
4) usb-c to Ethernet dongle
Once you send the money via PayPal to
kubax86 (PM him for more info), he will send you a link to download the software. It's tied to your VIN number and he said I can use it twice.
Open windows and install the software. Connect the ENET cable to your laptop and your car's obd connector. If using parallels or VMware, make sure to select connect directly to windows as opposed to bridge mode.
Once connected, click "Find Vehicle". It should find your car (will display VIN number). Click on "identify". It will try and connect to some cloud server and start downloading stuff. This takes a minute. After that click "Start" button.
The process will take a good 5 minutes. Make sure your laptop doesn't go to sleep, don't turn off your car. Just relax and watch the progress. Your entertainment unit will restart a few times, will blackout, will show blue screen, will show "No Signal" for a while and finally it will come up and you will see "Success" on the screen.
Once finished you have your full screen CarPlay.
I'm running ios13, so I have the latest greatest and it's just awesome.
See pictures for more info.
Good luck.

Are you running ios 13 beta?
|
Yes.
|
Does it make carplay unstable or is it pretty stable for a beta?
|
It's been very stable for me. No freezing or performance hits.
iOS 13 is a month away from being released so it's pretty stable at this point. The first two beta's are usually very buggy.

I just installed public beta 5 and oh man, car play is so so so much better compared to iOS 12.4.
Much more responsive, the GUI is better and I love how the screen isn't now tied to what you do on your phone.
Major upgrade.
