Dashlinq Car Mode Dashboard App for Android
App hasn't worked for me at all, let it set up, installed plug ins, and logged in to no avail. Unplugged it plugged it in, restarted the car still nothing. 2011 Infiniti g37x, I've even switched phones from a Samsung s8+ to a LG g6 to see if maybe it was the phone but still nothing, and now that I've basically forced closed it and forgot about it it's been in the background draining my battery. ~40% usage from an app I haven't used in like a week that I had made sure it was closed. That is unacceptable and I'm very disappointed given that I've used GROM modules in the past. If a fix is provided then I'll change my rating but right now it's looking like a waste of money.
App does what it's supposed to but only with the plugins... I can't use amazon music or Pandora. If these are added I'll change my rating.
Like it so far. Would like for the app to stay open or on top so I can switch between apps easier
Works fine with my car. Used with the dashlinq cable for Android phones
Great access to apps while driving without being distracting.
Does what i want it to do and simple interface
Skeptical at first. Worked right out of the box. Read online that it was a hit or a miss with some customers. Decided to give it a try. What do you know it works like it is marketed. I am using it with a Galaxy Note 8 + 2010 G37. Now I have Pandora streaming capabilities and able to use steering wheel controls.
Nice landscape layout that is easy to see on the dashboard. Integrates with the Grom MBUSD module I have connected to the radio in my Honda Accord allowing music selection bus this app and playback control via my radio.
Works reasonably well, can you possibly make it so that Spotify works offline so that the app doesn't use tons of data.
I have been messing with this unit for over a year now. The Bluetooth is extremely spotty this is an issue that I assume would have been fixed with one of the I believe 8 updates that have happened in the last year. The only time the Grom unit will read via Bluetooth is if the software is uninstalled. However without the software the unit won't communicate with the phone
Bad product, not compatible with most Android phones, really bad after sales support, doesn't work with my Huawei P9, one+ 5 and Huawei p10+. Many problems to my factory navigation system on my Z4
Works with my Samsung phones beautifully. First, it starts with a quick launcher so I can use my apps all in one place. Very easy to use and switch between phone screen and app. It Automatically syncs with my car Bluetooth and loads right away. The icons are big enough so they're easy to access when I'm driving. Amazingly, my car buttons still work and I can even do voice music search and calls. One thing: please bring in notifications! That would be awesome. Overall, this app is a daily must-have for my hours on the road!
Does not work consistently well in 2016 BMW X5 M. I did verify that wirelinq has latest firmware installed. Works every other time: when plugged in car does not recognize it. To remedy that need to unplug the USB end from the car and plug back in. Other times it works from get go. It takes a while sometimes for car recognize that USB device plugged in. I also experienced music cutting in and out as well music stopping playback on device. I emailed support with questions but received no responses.
Use dashlinq with aux cable in me vehicle. Much better than navigating via phone. Love voice control function to start navigation. Picks up my request clearly. Also like Spotify and WebRadio plugins, how I can save favorites in WebRadio - great!
Google Pixel on Oreo. Doesn't work. Car is a 2013 Holden Cruze SRI-V. Doesn't pick up my phone as an iPod, however if I just plug the cable in it sees it as an iPod. As soon as I plug my phone it it says it was unplugged. Phone only sees it as a charging cable. Latest firmware.
The app is okay, I just wish I could use Android Auto instead? I routinely can't get the digital audio over USB to function with my Motorola G5S
Still not working.....Pluged in today....not working Samsung S8+ on Nissan Juke Nismo RS 2015.
The app is awesome, the background is completly black, is it possible to change the background to be as my car model sign?
The accessory and this app could be good. But its trash. I've received two wirelinq and the 1st one didnt work and the 2nd one didnt work for more than 3 minutes. $55 dollars for cable that doesn't work more than have the time and a worth app that can really troubleshoot. I wish I could give this review a better score. But this product is far from being ready. And by the time the bugs or gone it will be obsolete.
Lastesy version..don't know what you did but spotify integration unusably slow. App over all full of bugs..ro many to mention. Erratic behavior and terrible responsiveness. Big step backwards
v35 has fixed most of my gripes. still randomly buggy, but I just took a 4hr road trip and it worked flawlessly The v32 firmware finally enables USB streaming. And for the most part, it works. One major inconvenience: There's a noticeable crackle in the audio after a couple minutes of listening. There's also some minor inconveniences: it only plays music. for some reason I can't figure out, it won't play audio from a browser. if you accidentally mess with Bluetooth, it'll throw a fit. I can't decide if it's transcoding the audio, could be I'm just so used to Bluetooth. maybe the developer will chime in. overall, I'm finally happy with the purchase
Firmware 35 for the Wirelinq fixed the crackling sound issue and now the audio sounds like it should.
Phone is galaxy s7 Car is 2016 mazda cx5 The wirelinq does allow the car to recognize my phone as an apple device and I can successfully play Spotify. However I get random spurts of crackling, static and popping noises. This comes and goes. When it's not happening, the audio is great, but when it starts up it completely ruins the audio and makes me feel like I wasted money on this cable. Hopefully updates can fix this
This app used to work half the time, now after the update i get through one song and it stops playing for whatever reason. Very frustrating. I'm over it. LG G4 2011 NIssan Murano
Permissions are enabled yet the voice command won't find my contacts. No access to music on SDcard. Samsung S7 edge. Will continue to use my Grom audio device as it works well w/o this app.
Updates don't work
Right now the app doesn't support creating playlists from music on the sdcard. The latter is not even browseable. This combined with the fact that USB streaming doesn't support prev/next control from the stereo consistently makes the app obsolete. I'm using Google Maps with voice commands anyway. PLEASE add sdcard support. EDIT: AALinQ supports sdcards!
Love it
Keeps crashing and consumes huge amounts of data even when not running, 3Gb of mobile data in less than a month even with about 10 hours a day not on WiFi
This app does nothing for me. I spent my hard-earned money on a cable and trying to connect it app to my vehicle. Everyday they put out an update for the app get the same results don't waste your time on this
My app just updated to latest version 3.0, it no longer streams music from my phone to car stereo. I've tried everything but it just doesn't work anymore. Using the Wirelinq cable, phone running Android 6.0, my vehicle is 2013 Infiniti G37x.
I finally got time to try it. When plugged into car USB PORT my screen says connecting but on my phone connects n disconnect. I waited so long for this product n big disappointment
Using the galaxy S7 edge with the GROM-USB3 device, it won't allow me to play music with the Google Play app, which is where I purchased and store all of my music. I can however use this software but the regular drive I go on has low signal and when the signal drops the song loops as this software obviously can't access the locally stored music that's pinned with the Google play app. I find it very frustrating spending all this money and having poor functionality. The bios for this hardware needs updating to work first time with my phone and the Google play software.
This app along with the Wirelinq are not supported by my 2012 Hyundai Veloster infotainment unit. Comes up with 'this Apple product not supported' on the car screen. Frustrating! Left with expensive nice looking usb cable. This Aplication is useless. Couldn't try out any of the features.
The dumbest app that always prompts you to run their garbage app when you plug your phone in. I just want us connection to the hardware, don't force us to use this piece of crap.
Not bad, could be better. I don't like how it shuts music off when you get a text and you have to manually restart it. Also, the random play could be a lot better. It plays tracks you've skipped a few songs later. Shouldn't happen when I have over 600. And you should be able to play a track directly, but it won't let you. This shows premise, but it's not there yet.
App crashes before I can even see my local music. Incredibly inconvenient .
Unable to use Google Play Music. Also, constantly crashes when trying to use any other app. Why not just let us route audio (which the type C connector exports) through the cable without the need for that janky app.
I would like to be able to play my purchased Google Play music that is stored on my phone without this app, but unfortunately, I have to have this app open, then I exit out of it, then my Google play music will work, but it won't work if I don't have this app installed.
by Q####:
Audio constantly stops while the app still shows it as playing. Also freezes and have to force close it.
