Carlinkit not working

[psmith3]

Marc, I have gotten pretty far and am close to making this whole thing work. I did have issues getting the hostapd working, but finally got it working and can connect to the Pi through it via Wi-Fi. For testing, I am not in the car, but am trying to connect to the CarPlay.lan address with a Mac and only getting a black screen on my browser. I have previously testing that there bluetooth audio worked in the Tesla. I have tried using a Carlinkit 3.0 plugged into one of the raspberry PI USB ports and the phone plugged in to the other side of the Carlinkit. Have also tried connecting the phone directly to the USB on the PI with no luck. I don't think my Carlinkit is working and has a red light on it. Is there a driver for it that I was supposed to enable? This is what I have and I don't think it is the exact model that yours is. CPC200-U2W Plus. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P1GWQDB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I expect this might have something to do with the reason it is not working. Any idea?

Making progress. Had to install usb. npm install usb. Is there more to do other than just this? Do I need pycarplay? Now getting this error...

I am thinking that maybe the issue is the adapter I have is incompatible. I have ordered the CPC200-Autokit and will try again later.

If your iphone is well connected by USB to the carlinkit and you have authorized this carplay, I think your carlinkit box is not compatible. Make sure you have a cable that can transfer data and not just charge the phone.

Your browser seems to have successfully connected to your server anyway.

Maybe you could share more log I could maybe tell you more.

Note: If you open carplay in a browser on a computer, you must simulate a touch screen, otherwise you cannot control carplay.

I did get it all working, and added a second USB Wi-Fi radio and swapped eth0 for the second Wi-Fi for internet access and am tethering my iphone to this new interface. Biggest challenge right now is how slow the web interface is, either from the Tesla browser or my ipad browser connected to the same network. Is your interface slow too? Also noticed the touch interface is not lined up with the bottom left icon to go to the home screen. Might need to tinker with the resolution.
