I had similar issues with my original "Carlinkit" - I purchased on Amazon so was able to return it. I have since purchased the newer version of Carlinkit (it is more rectangular and does not have any dedicated wires attached to it) and it has been working great. Only very rarely do I have to disconnect it in the armrest to get it to be recognized, however, no issues requiring a restart of the system.

Have you tried updating the software in the CarPlay-2-Air? Alternative seeing if you can get the car to forget the device, etc. and start from scratch connecting it again (although you may have already tried that).

Not aware of a way to get the Sensus to reboot while in motion except when it crashes and does it on its own.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. Mine is rectangular as well, but has a USB cable on one end with a USB port on the other.

I noticed a firmware update today when I got in the car. Hopefully that fixes the errors I've been having. Finger's crossed

 

Are CPlay2Air and CarLinKit the same company?

 

Not certain if they are, however, what I believe I read elsewhere is that the IP Address that is entered to update the software for both is the same.

Carlinkit is 192.168.50.2

Perhaps somebody could compare to CarPlay-2-Air IP address.

If identical would indicate that likely both using the same underlying software and thus likely related entities of not one and the same with different branding.
