Updating USB-C Hub with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Our new USB-C Hub with built in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be updated over the air (OTA), and it's super easy to do. Whether you're having some sort of issue with the hub or if you just to like to make sure everything is always updated, here are steps you need to take to do it.


Updating Instructions


Step 1: Make sure you're connected to the adapter via WiFi. Typically the network name starts with "Sync3" then there's a series of letters and numbers after, for example: Sync3_3E70. If it asks you to enter a password, type in 12345678.


Step 2: Go to your web browser and type in 192.168.43.1 and it should take you to the update screen.

Step 3: You should come to this screen (pictured above). The local version is the version that's installed on your USB Hub currently. Click check cloud version button to see if there's an update available.


Step 4: If there's a new version, it will be displayed under the query successful text. If this version is different than the version you currently have installed, then it's a new update. If it's the same, then you're already on the latest available version.


Step 5: Click start download to download the firmware update to the USB. Once it's finished, click the update firmware button. It'll automatically install and will restart when it's finished. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will cut in and out if you're connected.


Step 6: Refresh the page and your local version should have changed to the new version and you should be done with the update.

P.S. Have a question I didn’t answer or an idea for a future post? Send it my way! I would love to hear from you.

Hi all! I won't do many of these types of posts but I feel like I should in this instance since we have quite a few outstanding orders for our new USB-C hub with built in wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.


We have quite a few orders needing to be fulfilled still. I'm not shipping orders this weekend but we do have some to fulfill Monday. We'll start with the oldest orders first; we're currently waiting for more to arrive to fulfill all of them. We should have 3 more shipments of these coming in with the first one arriving this week.


Our supplier should be restocking at the end of the month and we'll be placing another order for more when that happens.


Rest assured, we're shipping these out as fast as we can! Please reach out if you have any questions.

It's been a big week with a few new updates and products. We updated a few of our most popular product pages with a new look, cut down on unnecessary images and tried highlighting the bits of information that matters the most. Further updates are coming for the rest of the product pages in the near future. Our goal is to have the most and clean concise store front possible, giving you all of the important information needed quickly.


Another big change is that our USB-C hubs with built in wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are shipping! This is very exciting for us and for a lot of vehicle owners (especially the 2015 F-150 guys) who were left out when we started offering our Ford OEM USB-C hub due to not having a proper sized conversion bezel for certain vehicles.


These USB-C hubs with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have so far performed great in our testing. They connect right away, we haven't had any noticeable lag or random disconnects. They've been a hot seller this week.
