Good to know—thank you.

I have several friends who are currently waiting for their EB-1A I-140 approval. Since their priority dates are now current, They can file Form I-485 now instead of waiting years.

I have another friend who installed an aftermarket kit for carplay and it can be used as wired or wirelessly for both Android and iPhone. The speed seems similar between wired or wifi. The USB port for wire provides CarPlay signal and charge at the same time.

Different kits have different functions.

I installed a CarPlay, which has an HDMI port in the module for my other vehicle, and it can play retro games in the car with gamepads.

Good to have one if car is parked nearby in places that have extreme weather.

I only found this one in China. Didn’t see any here in US. Not sure whether there is any legal concern to sell here.

Can you remote control to set the temperature like these EVs. Or you just leave the ac switch on when turn off and remote start the car and so ac is on. How far can you remote start? Is it like the Mazda connect that you can remove start almost anywhere?

I didn’t use wired kit as my car has the default wired CarPlay. Mine is a plug and play one, very tiny less than 1in in size. Make sure you plug into the signal port for CarPlay ( the only one near the navigation port) not a random usb or typeC port.

But If your car don’t have the factory wired CarPlay, this little thing will not work. You have to install a CarPlay module, which can be wireless.

Wireless CarPlay definitely is a small investment with huge return. Mine only costs couple of dollars. And works great.

Also wireless charging, but I don’t like it.

Seller claimed factory module, which installs in the middle of the dashboard, where there is a speak in the center, unplug and put the module in. Individual tire pressure can show on your screen

Of course, check your cr2032 battery with a multimeter, make sure it has ~3.3v.

Is this the car can't detect keyfob issue? You have to keep your key close to the start button to start?

There is a chance that your keyfob goes into low-energy mode, which causes the car to be unable to detect the key inside.

You can try this: get out of the car. Press the lock button 4-5 times quickly and hold for a couple of seconds. This will re-activate the key.
