8 months ago @RogVE I'm using AA version 11 and wince with CCPW, initialy don't work even using debuging usb mode, freeze in connecting screen. i tryed to install a new firmware on dongle, the wince firmware folder. the dongle dies.... I tryed install all firmwares of this repository, and the dongle still dead. i sent an email for carlinkit support asking for the newest version of CCPW dongle and they replay with the firmware, now dongle is working and the AA is working also.
NOTE: I uninstall all updates of Android Auto from my mobile(settings->apps->manage apps->android auto->uninstall all updates), and i pluged in dongle usb, he connected and ask for update AA, i did the updated and now is working...
IDK if was the firmware update or the mobile uninstall updates, but now it's working fine.
PS: the screen of AA start a dancing, when you open the AA configurations click 5 times on version, he enabled the developing mode for AA, click on 3 dots on the top of screen, and click on develop settings, go to video resolution and check the option "allow car and phone to negociate", solve the problem
follow the last version of CCPW: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CcGDw92sw1e9MGbgF2wREgpomnDAByFj/view?usp=sharing

Hi guys! I really need help someone who can help with modifying a firmware and/or WinCE app.
In general WinCE users have 2 major issues. I will try to briefly explain both of them.
1st issue is a work WinCE app and Android phones (AA doesn't work anymore). Starting from the mid of 2022 all Android phones stopped connecting to the Dongle (It stucks on "Connecting" stage only if you will enable USB Debug). So, Android Auto and Android phones (I've tried many different models and brands) doesn't work with the dongle on WinCE anymore.
I think it could be somehow connected with the AA update on the phones or Android Ver. But I’ve tried to downgrade AA to 6.6 and use different Android versions (from 7 to 13) no success.
I can assume that the problem is somewhere in AA connection protocol on WinCE app (last ver. from 2021 and it won't upgrading, because Carlinkit stopped WinCE support)
2nd big issue is a Black screen issue on WinCE app and IPhones IPhones and Carplay work well from the begging. But starting from mid-2023 new dongles have a strange Black screen issue. When you closing Autokit app (using radio, phone call or rear camera) and come back to the app, you getting a black screen instead of interface. Music still playing and you also can use touchscreen, but the screen is black. After a few minutes you will getting an Windows error and app crush.
I have found a solution by installing old firmware (ver. 2022.04.25.1323). I was working perfectly without Black screen issue like it was. But I have order a new dongle. It comes with the updated firmware and hardware version and for now after installing old firmware (ver. 2022.04.25.1323) or later you will get a bug. Dongle stop showing WIFI and Bluetooth networks. So, you can't connect to the dongle anymore. Only one way to restore it again is installing latest Firmware.
I've found that new dongles have a different Hardware version (AC2035890. and AC2010 on latest dongles). Basically, it was AC2033500 and you can install old firmware to this version. But you can't install it to the new dongles anymore.
**Of course, Carlinkit Engineering team can't help with both issues and give only general advices.
Here is the link for last version of Autokit app for WinCE (ver. 2021.01.13:5130) - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1csNVikP0Lv-MqnK-54gyXI68pcoPxepl?usp=sharing
Maybe anyone can suggest something or try to help WinCE users or even give an advice?
