What It Is / How It Works

This is a Carlinkit USB adapter dongle that adds wireless and wired Android Auto and CarPlay-style connectivity to an aftermarket Android car head unit. It plugs into the USB port of your car stereo and works with the Autokit app to mirror your phone's interface, giving you access to navigation, music, and other apps on the car screen.

Who It's For / Use Cases

This adapter is for drivers who have an aftermarket Android-based car head unit (version 4. 4. 2 or higher) and want to use their phone's apps on the car display without needing to buy a new stereo. It suits people who prefer using Google Maps or Waze for navigation, enjoy streaming music from Spotify or Apple Music, and want voice control for hands-free operation. It is not for factory original car radios or head units that already have built-in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

How to Use / Care

1. Check that your car head unit runs Android 4. 4. 2 or later. Go to Settings > About Device to see the Android version.
2. Download the Autokit APK from the Carlinkit website (carlinkit. com/autokit. html) and install it on your head unit. You may need to copy the APK to a USB drive and use the file manager to install it.
3. Plug the Carlinkit adapter into a USB port on your car head unit.
4. Pair your phone with the adapter via Bluetooth and connect to its Wi-Fi network (for wireless mode). For wired mode, connect your phone with a USB cable.
5. Once connected, the Autokit interface should appear on the head unit screen. You can then launch apps, use voice commands, and control everything from the car display.

How to Choose

If your car has a factory radio or one with built-in Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, this type of adapter will not work. Consider whether you prefer wireless or wired connections; wireless offers convenience but may require a stable Wi-Fi signal, while wired can also charge your phone.
