Why choose this wireless CarPlay adapter
Many recent cars have CarPlay or Android Auto, but only with a cable. It seems like nothing until you use it every day: the short trips where you don't bother plugging in, the cables that wear out, the port that gets loose and the navigation that cuts out at the worst moment. A wireless CarPlay adapter sorts all of that with a unit smaller than a matchbox.
This model is made to be forgotten: it runs off the car's USB port, has no battery to charge and, once paired, connects by itself every time you set off. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi together handle the connection, the dual-core processor and the vents in the housing keep it running smoothly, and OTA updates keep it compatible with new phones.
It's the right answer for anyone who makes lots of short trips, for professionals who are in and out of the car all day, and for families with both iPhone and Android: the same adapter handles CarPlay and Android Auto. Just one condition: the car must already offer wired CarPlay or Android Auto.
You get in, CarPlay starts by itself, no cable
If your car only accepts CarPlay or Android Auto with a cable, you know the routine: take out the phone, find the lead, the connector that works loose at the first pothole and the sat nav that drops out. This wireless CarPlay adapter plugs into the USB port where you usually connect your phone and turns the wired connection into a wireless one, over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. After the first pairing, the phone connects by itself as soon as you get in and can stay in your pocket or bag. It works with CarPlay and Android Auto alike.
