I just use wired car play. I haven't connected to it with Bluetooth and it doesn't have any of my contacts loaded.

It was for me if you purchase from CTH. Some of the owners or managers of CTH are active on the T9 Facebook page and are quick to help resolve issues. I would suggest that you be tech savvy to buy this unit. Be open to fixing bugs, or troubleshooting. The FaceBook page has been a great resource...

No, sorry for the confusion. There is no Sirius adaptor from car trim. You have to get an external SiriusXM player. Some folks on here have it. You can not use the built in Toyota antenna to use Sirius. I use Sirius via the app and hot spot on my cell and CarPlay.

Yes, just one of the cables that's in the box. In connects to the cable behind the OEM clock... XM only works via streaming from T9 or phone or from Sirius Adaptor to purchase from their website. Tip: Keep the app running on your phone before you connect CarPlay or AutoKit.

Not yet. I'd like to.

1. I have not seen a single setting about text messages other than in CarPlay. I prefer CarPlay anyway, because Siri responds pretty well for me. 2. A GPS antenna is included, but if you want to use the OEM Sharkfin you have to purchase the adaptors that Blu42 mentioned earlier in this thread...

You can't use your phone as a hotspot and do wireless CarPlay at the same time. Wireless CarPlay requires your phone's Wi-Fi and bluetooth at the same time, therefore disabling the hotspot. Same problem I ran into, which is why I went hardwired for my CarPlay. Note: Install the driver from the...

Yes. I should have been more specific. This fix resolved the issue of a hard/cold reboot every time the truck was turned off. They have also given me a tip to fix my Wi-Fi signal, a tip to reduce the whine noise and I've ordered a shark fin adaptor for GPS for when I'm not using carplay. I...

AutoKit/USB forcing T9 to reboot update!!!: I was able to RESOLVE the reboot issue (for me anyway) with a combination of tricks from folks on the T9 Facebook page. Basically the T9 does not supply enough power for the demand of certain USB devices... I bought this...

And when you connect to the head unit are you wireless or hard wired?

Update: So it's been a few days now. I removed my head unit today to try and find out where the static noise was coming from. I can only hear it when no music is playing and I've discovered it's only when there is data downloading, so it must be coming from the WiFi antenna. I've got that noise...

gainman... are you using hard wired or wireless for carplay? If wireless, are you using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? Also what phone/model are you using?

I'm on day 3 of using this thing so bare with me. I've let it sit maybe a minute or so between turning the car off and on, and there was no lag there. But it seems like 5 minutes or more requires a full boot up, which I just counted after I dropped my son off at school today and it was 23...

There are two USB outputs with the T9. One has an adaptor that plugs into Toyota's harness that is hardwired to the USB port under the climate control. The other one I haven't connected yet, but I'm likely going to extend it into my console so I don't have to sacrifice a cup holder to hold a...
