Cables are always critical for these devices. I've seen connection failures completely resolved by changing cables. If you have a Cplay2Air, it has a built in cable, so no help there other then perhaps hitting both connectors with some contact cleaner spray (using care around paint) - Don't use q-tips as they will leave cotton all over. Get foam swabs if necessary.

Also, have you tried the settings I recommended earlier (changed in the bios setup screens) Start delay 10 (can be increased to 20 if necessary), video bit rate 2, frame rate 20

I can't find anything online on the setup menu. Sorry, you're on your own there.

Suggestion, pick up a different brand on Amazon, try it out. If it works, you can decide to keep or return it...

I've had really good luck with the Carlinkit 4.0 in my truck.

Quick update. I received the Carlinkit 4.0 today. It works great, took less than 1 min to get it setup and working. Thanks everyone for the help!
