Comments

Divyank: I wasn’t for a long time in the market for a wireless carplay but I did use one from Carlinkt into my OEM Sony XAV-AX1000 which didn’t even work. But then my second option was this product, and not even kidding - it works the best!

Connectivity: 10/10
Lagging: maybe I’d say 9/10 till now, because I saw a little negligible lag
Sound: 10/10

Buy it! I can endorse this product a 1000 times if otto cast is happy to pay me lol!

Giorgio: Facile da installare, si fa una volta sola e poi te lo dimentichi. Salire in macchina e non avere l'impiccio di avere un cavo tra i piedi è tanta roba! Il telefono lo tengo spesso nella tasca della giacca perchè non serve. Si collega automaticamente al sistema dopo pochi secondi dall'accensione dell'auto. Insomma, ci voleva, lo desideravo. Prodotto affidabile, non perde mai la connessione tra telefono e sistema. Consigliato!

Jeffrey A. Anderson: I bought this unit to replace one made by Terran that didn’t work very well. This CarPlay adapter works better but it’s not perfect. The main drawback is that it can take a minute or two to sync up with my vehicle. But it’s worth that inconvenience to have wireless functionality.

Anthony: Connected to Honda element replacement radio it works as described so far. Previous adapter called magic box kept dropping the signal and had to be returned

Jason Foster: First connection was fast but sometimes it is just a black screen

Annalisa Viall: This product works well in my Ford Explorer with my iPhone. It takes a few minutes for the Apple Car Play to connect once you start the car. From my experience if you start your car before your phone is in it then it will not connect later, I always have to shut off the car completely and then start it again for it to connect. Overall a good product that does what it is meant to do! No more having to plug in my phone for Apple Car play. The device itself is also a very convenient size that doesn’t take up much room.

Andrew White: Read the reviews and purchased with the USB Y dual cable for the additional power that Mitsubishi doesn’t provide when using the single cable.
Set up was simple, and it’s small enough to hide behind the console. Has worked flawlessly since but does take about 1 minute to connect each time. Still better than plugging and unplugging the cable numerous times.
It takes both USB ports, so you’ll also need a USB adapter for your 12 volt cigarette plug (for charging).

scott: Using in Toyota prado - First thing you notice is he resolution of the screen is not a good as the native apple carplay through the cable . Have not used it for more than an hour at a time so far. A few times it does not connect to the phone automatically and I need to take the phone out of my pocket or work bag and wake the phone for the apple play connection to be established

Brad: Regardless of what the instructions say, I would recommend updating the firmware for the device. Everything worked out of the box, but I noticed my phone call quality was degraded using this device regardless of everything else working perfectly. After updating the firmware, my phone call quality was back to where it was before, and everything worked great. Honestly, it was faster to connect to CarPlay after the firmware update, too. It couldn’t be easier to update, so I’d recommend doing it after an initial test.

britishbob: I have been having problems with the aftermarket head unit in my van.
I have a Kenwood DDX 9905s (Echelon) which was tethered by lightning cable to my Iphone 13 Pro Max.

For some reason this became twitchy with the arrangement and would suddenly drop the Carplay function. I think that the lightning connector end would become physically worn down by the constant unplugging and plugging in (in my car I have the 9705s which doesn't suffer the same issues.)

I began to look at upgrading the head unit to "wireless carplay" which would involve my my spending around another $800 and then I came across this.

If you have a tethered system and you are self employed (as I am) then you have to look at two issues.
1/ Wirelessly using carplay.
2/ Providing power that was previously supplied by the wire (because you need to have power to take calls.)
I was concerned that the continual wireless transmission of maps would drain the power of the phone over a day so I bought a "magsafe" phone holder to provide power.

So I first bought an ESR Magnetic Wireless Car Mount Charger (HaloLock), Compatible with MagSafe Car Charger, Air Vent Car Phone Holder for...
