What It Is / How It Works

This is a wireless adapter that adds wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto to vehicles with factory wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto. It plugs into the car's USB port and connects to your phone over WiFi and Bluetooth, so you can start your car and have your phone's interface appear on the dashboard screen without plugging in a cable each time.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Wireless adapters like this suit drivers who want the convenience of automatic connection when they get into the car, without the hassle of plugging in a cable. They are also useful for people who frequently forget their charging cable or prefer a cleaner dashboard without cords running across the cabin.

How to Use / Care

1. Plug the adapter into the USB port of a vehicle that has factory wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto.
2. Turn on the car's infotainment system and wait for it to recognize the adapter.
3. On your phone, enable WiFi and Bluetooth, then follow the on-screen prompts to pair and connect.
4. Once paired, the adapter will automatically connect when you start the car in the future.

How to Choose

When choosing a wireless adapter, first confirm that your vehicle has factory wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto, as the adapter relies on that existing system.
