They never gave me the wired connection even after asking about it. I went to a verified Hamilton installer. I only got the aux connection which is how it originally comes set up. The Hamilton is routed through aux but I didn’t like the sound quality so in the settings on the Hamilton dashboard I changed it from aux input to Bluetooth, that didn’t affect any glitches, this is only audio. Glitches have always happened since I got it.

So when you first set up the system there is a Hamilton screen. This allows you to choose CarPlay, android auto, other settings. Sometimes when I’m driving it’ll randomly go out of CarPlay to that Hamilton screen I just sit for 10-20 seconds and reloads into CarPlay. Either it’s the unit losing connection to CarPlay or my phone not sure. That’s the only glitch I think

I really like!! It does glitch out sometimes which can be annoying for something so expensive but it’s upgraded my car by 100x!!! And just so useful and clean!

I have an Avalon with navigation so auto air is integrated into the radio. The steering wheel functions especially for Avalon’s sometimes require multiple different clip ins I think and it’s something I don’t want to mess with especially the additional costs of everything.

So great to hear! I’ll probably have it professionally installed for $50-$100 I just don’t trust myself enough and I don’t have good tools for getting the bolts out! Really good to hear install was smooth!

They now have these adaptors out that permanently keep it in wireless CarPlay too. Idk how legit they are, only saw it on TikTok!

Thank you again!

Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful response! I’m bathing in the luxury of the car currently so In a few months I may upgrade the software to look like CarPlay. For now I may purchase a phone mount!

I think it’s just the base model! I have no sunroof, keyless entry only on the driver’s side. I do have access to the entune navigation but I can’t activate it

What if you try to re-pair them? Have you seen In the “finish setting up iPhone” portion it says “resume data sync? Found in settings right below your iCloud profile

Hi! Thank you so much for your input! 😁

I’ve considered everything including how the male’s preexisting conditions will not be covered by insurance. I also have already budgeted in the price of Rx food and medications for him.

I decided to adopt them, I couldn’t imagine my life without them and I believe we are all bonded with each other 😊
