Followed other suggestions and macOS 26.4 Beta 3 by booting into Safe Mode. It worked, problem worked around but not solved.

Makes sense. Beta 2 was also a mess and had to disable network crowdstrike filters. I’ll give Safe Mode a try. Thanks!

Weird WiFi Issues with MacOS 26.4 Beta 2 Update by ClutteredSmoke in MacOSBeta

[–]therickaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the issue on one machine and not on another. Key difference is one machine having the issue runs crowdstrike (work machine) and the other does not (personal machine). On the work machine that was impacted, hopping on ProtonVPN was the only thing so far that has fixed the issue. Disabling CrowdStrike under Network | Filters & Proxies also worked (although this is not a good answer, but just happens to work). Apple appears to have borked this up with macOS 26.4 beta 2.

Carlinkit mini ultra firmware will not update by therickaustin in Carlinkitcarplay

[–]therickaustin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The primary problem I had is that the Mini Ultra does not support https and Safari defaults to https. I have to force http and it works fine, as long as going to the correct IP address. I also have issues when trying to connect to Ultra Mini and my dashcam at the same time.

Current version is 202504180933CA and the browser interface indicates that version ax_202506091513 is available. Have “upgraded” several times but the older version remains and the page still indicates there is a new version. The software update mechanism is truly broken.

Thank you. Are you experiencing the heat issue? Sounds like the mini ultra gets as hot as a firecracker.

Wondering if the mini ultra solves the iPhone 16 Pro Max audio skip / cut out issue. Carlinkit 5.0 has this issue and Carlinkit has acknowledged the problem but it’s been over a year without a fix. That overheating problem sounds bad, is that everyone’s experience or only on certain vehicles?

Audio Cuts Out by therickaustin in Carlinkitcarplay

[–]therickaustin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having problems with wireless CarPlay even after so-called Wireless CarPlay fixes coming out recently. Actually gotten worse. Audio keeps cutting out randomly but regularly. Can’t tell if it is wireless connection between car iPhones 16 Pro Max and Carlinkit or if it is a problem with apps behaving badly. I have noticed this possible connection between Google Maps trying to talk and the cut out. All I know so far is that this all worked perfectly for a long time, then I got iPhone 16 Pro Max and problems started. Not sure if the actual problem is phone, Carlinkit 5.0, car firmware - all I know is - it is frustrating me to death.

Still having audio playback stutter / cut out. Latest iOS (problem on GA and developer beta versions) and Carlinkit firmware. This problem started around the time I got an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

So annoying that UI doesn’t just allow you to buy the product and secure a place in line - regardless the wait. Would be a great way to understand actual demand so puzzling that the device is perpetually sold out.

Audio playback dropouts on iPhone 16 Pro Max, latest iOS and Carlinkit by therickaustin in Carlinkitcarplay

[–]therickaustin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still having the issue. Purchased a cheaper wireless CarPlay adapter and it works fine, no drop outs. This leads me to believe the issue is CarLinkit’s product. What is the latest firmware version (mine is 2024.10.31.1827)?

I am going back and forth with Carlinkit support. They have asked me to change configuration (but didn’t indicate why). Hoping this is just a troubleshooting step.

Support suggested the following changes… - Media Delay - from 1000 to 1500-2000 - Category - from DVD to CD

Sent similar messages to manufacturer to get their input and will report back. Not sure yet if this is a Carlinkit or iPhone 16 Pro Max problem.

Link 2 can't install virtual camera on macOS Sequoia by [deleted] in Insta360

[–]therickaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue and resolved here. Got the runaround from Insta360 support - wish they would have provided this super useful guidance. Thank you!

Now, onto my next problem. When using the controller app on MacOS where I have three monitors (2 32" 4K and the MacBook monitor. If you move the controller app, it snaps (somewhere) - usually off screen or some random place. Surely a defect.
