Apple CarPlay dongle question

[CapeCodRich]

Hey all, I have a 2016.5 CX5 GT (favorite car I've ever owned). I bought a Carplay dongle device. It shows up in the USB selector as "Apple Device" but every time I try to connect to it I get "Authentication failure." Was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this?

Were you able to enter the dongle’s WiFi password from your phone settings WiFi connection dialog?
