Hello,
This setting is actually suggestion only for the Carlinkit Dongle. Video parameters for the projection are fully negotiated between the Carlinkit Dongle and the phone. You can check additional CarlinKit settings available via web browser (usually http://192.168.50.1) after connection to the dongle wifi network.

Okay. That doesnt work sadly... I think those settings are only for android auto.

If you want to scale Carplay differently i used a resolution scale calculation and changed the resolution accordingly in main configuration. My carplay had huge icons etc but now feels more appropriately scaled. maybe this would work for you?

Where in the main configuration did you change that?
