Carlinkit 2025 5.0 2air Wireless Adapter for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,For cars wired apple CarPlay or wired Android Auto Function,(Model year:2017 to 2025) plug and play

I bought this to convert CarPlay from wired to wireless in my 2024 Ford (still disappointing it doesn't have this as standard!), plugging it in works completely as expected, setup was simple and straightforward.It comes with a USB-A to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-C cable so you should be able to plug the adapter into either port in your car. The adapter also has a USB-A connector that you can use to charge a device if you only have one USB port in your car.I've always noticed on my car - when using wired CarPlay - the screen is very zoomed in and everything is large. Using the settings web page for this adapter I was able to change the resolution, along with lots of other settings to improve speed and performance, and now CarPlay displays in a much better way!I've used this adapter everyday for months and it works perfectly, it connects within seconds and will remain solid for very long journeys too.I can't fault this product, if your car has wired CarPlay only, this is a MUST!

Got this for my MG4 EV, and it’s been absolutely spot on. What makes it a winner for me is the delay setting—essential for modern EVs where the infotainment system needs to start up first. It kicks in perfectly every time, no hiccups or issues. Super easy to use, just plug and play, and it’s been flawless since day one. If you’re looking for a wireless adapter that actually works, this is the one. Can’t recommend it enough!

It was rather expensive at £80 for something I would expect to cost £30 ish. (I think it has been reduced to £60 now). However in my 2021 Volvo XC 60 which has CarPlay, using this device I now do not need to plug in my iPhone every time I get in the car. It just Bluetooth’s directly from my pocket. Very easy to set up and it always works! Not much effort to plug in I know but so much easier. I use CarPlay much more now. Worth the investment to me anyway.

Had it 6 months now and all I can say that it’s garbage. Worked fine for a month or two but now it loses connection constantly. It’s unbearable when driving. For this price range I would expect it to work correctly. I’ve done all resets and still have the problem explained above.

The performance of this is generally okay. I always re-plug in each time to avoid battery drain in the car, and it’s been mostly reliable connecting easily with not much time to connect to the system in my car. No lag but occasionally sat nav has frozen and needs me to unlock my phone to kick it back into action - I don’t know if this is the device or phone related but can be a pain especially on long journeys, so I’ve started using it less and connecting directly to my car more as a result. Good value but possible improvements could be made but this may not be the Carlinkit’s fault.

Bought this one as a replacement for a returned Motorola. A lot smaller than expected as has worked seemlessly since day 1. Installation and set up are really simple. There is an occasionally delay to it connecting to my phone but nothing that is unacceptable.Would definitely recommend.

After reviewing a good few of those I finally tried this one. I’m disappointed and after a couple of weeks in the car I’ve had to send it back. It probably connects when you get into the car only about 70% of the time. I’ve been having to “forget this device” and start again on many occasions. Once it’s connected I found it to be very laggy! Especially when using maps. I think this is the case with most of them actually, but this one being the price it is I suppose I expected it to work as if I was using my cable , and it definitely doesn’t. I found it quite frustrating especially when you got into the car and just struggled to connect until you started from scratch and paired the device to your phone again. Some people might find it acceptable for it to work like this but I just found it annoying. I’ve reviewed other makes and all seem to carry the same kind of reviews, some good some not so good. I’m very reluctant to try another brand and will just carry on using car play with my cable.

Got this as my first world problem of having to connect my iPhone to the car USB port every drive was becoming a bit annoying, and at times it would disconnect if I knocked the phone, I think the lightening port on my phone may need some compressed air in it and a good clean. This device does exactly what it says, I’m using an aftermarket Pioneer EVO62DAB and this works perfectly. The latency is minimal, I have read reviews of other units with a fair bit of latency, this is pretty much on par with the factory wireless unit in my other car. Once plugged in and paired through Bluetooth to my phone (which takes a less than 2 minutes to do) it has connected every time I’ve been back in the car so far with no issue, all in all a good investment.
