WIRELESS APPLE CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTO ADAPTER / DONGLE

It took the January FW update for the wireless dongle to get things to work correctly, but things are what I wanted now. I updated my 2014 with CarPlay and the wireless dongle. After initial install of the system, I started with just the cable connection and things were good. I then added the wireless dongle, did a FW update to it (December) and it would work at first connection, but lost audio if I switched to ther Radio and came back to CarPlay. It would also fail to connect via wireless on future attempts, and then if I tried to use the cable, the volume controls would not work on the radio at all, and I would have to remove all the known CarPlay devices and start over with fresh pairings. I was about to give up the dongle, but is what I really wanted to work and would be VERY disappointed if I had to just do the cable every time entered the truck. I decided to try some more searches on the dongle to see if others had found a solution, and when I started looking at a full reset process of the dongle, I noticed they had added a January FW update. I agreed to give it one last run, and to my surprise, things have been working as expected with the wireless dongle and the solution is as I was hoping for. If you have struggled with the wireless connection, try the recent FW updated and see if it helps. I noticed others in the Facebook comments struggled with the dongle, but all those comments were before the January update. It appears the dongle vendor fixed a few of their bugs and things are finally working well. Now I need to decide if I want to update my 2015 Camaro as well. A bit more work on the install (not a concern for me), just not sure if the integration will have limitations that will bother me. I need to do a bit more research on that one.
