I have a similar problem with a Carlinkit box I installed myself. I do get a new firmware update from the person I purchased my unit. But the quality is certainly not top-notch. it works. With a recent fw update mine also freezes completely. I would reboot it a few times by long-pressing the physical back button. Pretty annoying when you rely on working navigation on the high way. I've contacted the support guy and he promised a new firmware is on its way. Fingers crossed :D

Now I can't imagine not having Carplay in my car :)

A little bit off-topic; while I installed the carlinkit myself I think I broke something. Now my car clock (the internal one shown on the speedometer screen) cannot be set anymore. And recently I notcied the PDC (pressure detection system of the tires) are complaining all the time.

Will have the car checked by mechanics soon. Not sure the defects I'm experiencing are related to my own doings or just unlucky.
