Finally- After weeks and weeks of going back and forth with their support. I can confirm, that using firmware labeled “28” from carplay2air, I am now running wireless CarPlay through their dongle:
cplay2air.com
At first, we updated and used other firmware. Last night they suggested downgrading to older firmare, in which they gave a link to, inserted it to a USB, plugged it in and performed update on the dongle. After update, brought it into my Ascent, and viola, 20 seconds later the prompt came up to add my phone to the dongle’s connection, and I have been running wireless CarPlay successfully!
I know some of you heads ordered same piece, and although pricey, it does work. I have 2 other dongles, one from Redmond Pir and the other is the Carlink Adapter. I have loaded the carplay2air’s firmware to both, but have not tested them.
