Wireless CarPlay Adapter - Fastest 5Ghz - AutoSky - Plug and Play - USB-C and USB-A Cables - Wired CarPlay Required

Im not sure what others are complaining about but this thing works just fine using a stock OEM head unit. I think aftermarket units run into problems a lot no matter how reputable the brand because they deviate from the specs given to OEM car manufacturers.Regardless what I love most is the slim low profile design of this unit. It's like a thumb drive and thats it. No wires, no giant block dangling around your cup holder area. Just super neat and tidy. My only complaint is that it's a little slow to boot up taking maybe 30-45 seconds on average to connect but thats it. I'm often a couple of blocks away from home before it finally kicks on, but you get what you pay for. Maybe the more expensive units have faster startup times. I dont mind it really.The actual performance is perfectly acceptable. People are complaining about a laggy UI, cmon who really cares about how fast the screen moves when you swipe? You dont really interact with carplay that much once it's going. GPS moving map animations are buttery smooth so there is no lag using waze/gmaps/apple maps. Sure if I click pause it takes like ONE SECOND to actually pause or skip a track, no big deal there at all. Scrolling through audio queues in spotify is fine.It's completely stable. I think I've had to replug it maybe twice in literally thousands of drives to "reboot" it because my phone just wasnt connecting for some odd reason, probably wasnt even the devices fault. I say this is a very easy buy. Although for 30 bucks extra if you can get something that boots in 10 seconds like my Android Motorola MA1 then it might be worth it for that.

We’ll this started off great. I was able to follow instructions and connect effortlessly my iPhone to our car’s CarPlay wirelessly.Unfortunately, I added a second phone - my wife’s - seemingly without a problem. She gets in the car a little later and her phone doesn’t connect.After troubleshooting, I attempt to remove the AutoSky device from her phone and remove the device from our car in settings. After several attempts to restart the car with the Apple cable connected for CarPlay, the car and the phone no longer connected at all. AutoSky completely bricked my CarPlay.Unfortunately, I thought this little USB adapter would’ve been non-invasive. But instead, it messed up our car’s CarPlay and my wife’s phone’s ability to connect to CarPlay. I have not yet tried my phone to see if it will reconnect using the Apple cable but will later.I will not be trying other brands either for the potential risk and causing me to have to go for the car dealer/manufacturer for something so unnecessary.Contact appears to be email only. RED FLAG. I should’ve known better. I’m sure it may be good email support but having a tech company, you should really have a number to call if someone runs into tech issues so they can troubleshoot live.I’ll have to sacrifice wireless convenience for CarPlay system reliability. Glad it worked for others, but unfortunately not for us.

This is my second wireless carplay adapter after my ottocast died late last year, and is even cheaper. It fits perfectly in the area for the USB port in the fourth generation Toyota Prius. As you can see from the photo, my USB for CarPlay, AUX jack, and even my 12 V outlet are all directly behind my cupholders, and not inside my center console or at the bottom of my dash. This makes it difficult plugging anything in half the time. With the ottocast, it had a short cable on it which made it hard to mount up there, I tried using double-sided tape in front of the center console, but it never stayed. This style is a lot better for this vehicle because it’s more like a flash drive or it plugs directly in. You don’t need to use any of the adapters it comes with. Despite not being listed in the compatible vehicles, it still works with the factory carplay. The only issue I had was updating the software, after it downloaded it would get to 1% installing, and then the whole radio would restart and nothing else would happen. CarPlay would load back up again as if nothing happened. But I contacted support, and they were very quick in replying to me telling me that in that case, the radio is cutting power too fast. They told me to plug it into a powered USB port like on a computer. I did that, and it updated just fine. Maybe that’s what killed my last one I don’t know. But I know now for future reference with any other adapter to do this trick. My only issues with it are, and I had this with my other adapter, is there seems to be about a one or two second delay with the audio. This makes watching YouTube videos on my phone not possible unless I disconnect from the adapter, and whenever I pause at least from the steering wheel control, it will pause and then play about a half a second and then pause again. Again, this is either an issue with the vehicle or with wireless CarPlay adapters in general, but I’m not sure not having access to another make or model vehicle with carplay. The only other feature I could ask for with this adapter is have a passthru USB port for charging something else, my old one had this. Not required, but for my vehicle I am very low on power ports and anything helps.

This device really works well , I bought it because my Honda insight requires a usb cable to connect to car play. The cables are notoriously fallible.This device does connect instantly to the phone and works perfectly.The one downside is that it only allows use of one app at a time. For example , if you’re listening to music and you want to check your maps app for directions , the music will cut out after 10 seconds or so. Then in order to get the music back you need to open an entirely different app like a podcast to get sound connected again. Then you can return to music.But if you use only one app at a time anyways , this device really works ,I’ve had it for well over a year and it’s still works perfectly.
