Projection and touch explicitly work. Steering-wheel media keys fail; USB permission repeats and startup takes about 15–25 seconds. Newer steering-wheel implementation exists, but this exact setup has no retest.
Connection loop after updating from 0.2.0 with auto-connect enabled. Reporter says clearing app data restored connection; this erases preferences/pairing and is not a first step.
Bluetooth pairs but CarPlay startup crashes with getNetworkName error. AI-generated cause in the report is not accepted as proof. Do not generalize this to all DiLink 3.
Connected normally but music/navigation play on the phone. Having a HUD is not evidence that DiPlay HUD output works. Closed issue does not prove fixed.
Reported phone model is “iphone 18pm”; left unnormalized as unknown. Reporter needs navigation channel 15 but sees only 1–10. No universal channel recommendation.
