Received this CarPlay kit to review and love it.
First of all, make sure your car is CarPlay ready (plug your iPhone to car via usb data cable, if a message pops up in the phone to connect CarPlay, you have your answer).
It was very easy to install (it takes minutes to do), and in doubt, you can request installation videos via Amazon email.
One thing to mention is that the quality of the cable is very important for the connection, as some cables do not transfer data (they only charge the iPhone).
It can stay in the car, and as soon as you arrive at the car, it will connect with your phone, via Bluetooth (avoiding using cables).
Overall, if you hate cables and having to use the cable every time you drive your car and want to use CarPlay, this device is great and for a decent price.
If you are really keen to have your iPhone connect to Carplay in your car, this little box from Ottocast does the job pretty well. It’s small, light and easy to set-up. Plug the device into a UB port in your car and then connect your phone to the Ottocast via Bluetooth. This all worked for me first time in my ’21 Hyundai Tucson with my iPhone 11.
The phone connection takes a little while (on average around 20-30 seconds once configured) but it works automatically so that every time you get into the car your phone should connect. What you will then see in your car is a version of Carplay on the Ottocast device itself, so for me it was different to the version built-in to my vehicle: I didn’t get song names pop up on the main dashboard display and the Carplay screen itself had a different layout to it.
There is also a little bit of a delay between pressing icons on the car screen and the action being performed by your phone. It all works but the look and feel is a a bit different.
For convenience, you can’t go far wrong. It just works and maintains a reliable connection. However overall performance may not be as good as what your car has built-in and possibly the fact that the Ottocast is running a different version of Carplay may be an issue.
The cost at 109 seems to be sitting in around the middle of the wireless adapter market so this may be worth considering if you are looking for such a device.
I found this to be very simple to use. I simply connected my unit to the USB port of the car and was able to and connect to Bluetooth with ease through my iPhone. After turning the car off and later returning, when I started it up I was able to reconnect immediately.
If your car is equipped with wireless charging as standard, you can use CarPlay wirelessly by simply placing the iPhone there. Happily, there is no issue with using other apps on your phone such as maps while also using the music app or radio. Impressive little device!
My car supports CarPlay, but only wired connection is supported. When I connected this unit to the USB port of the car and searched for Bluetooth on the iPhone. I was able to find it immediately and connect.
Once I turned off the engine and got out of the car a while later I got in the car and started the engine, I was able to resume the reconnection music immediately.
My car is equipped with wireless charging as standard, so I can use CarPlay wirelessly by simply placing the iPhone there.
Music app and Radio works without problems in the background while displaying Google map.
There are almost no problems with the stability of music, but there were occasions when it was like skipping the music. But not a big problem.
Good product!
I’m very satisfied with the Ottocast wireless CarPlay adapter.
I had problems with Carlinkit 3 device not being compatible with iPhone. (Error message that accessory not supported every time I got in car). Thankfully I was able to return to Amazon for refund.
Decided to try this Ottocast and it set up more quickly than the other brand and reconnects quickly (around 30 seconds) each time I get in the car. So much better than having to plug phone in every time. So glad I changed to Ottocast.
Excellent product takes about 13 seconds for iPhone to connect CarPlay wireless. I generally just leave my phone in pocket now.
I’ve been using this device for 2 months now and I’m really pleased it. The device itself is small and unobtrusive, sitting in the ashtray in the centre console. It works as described. We have 4 phones in the family and when the car starts you can choose to search for a new phone or select any of the existing paired phones. Once selected, it launches carplay on that phone and goes into the standard screen to access media, maps etc.
If you need to change phones, you pull out the USB wait 2 seconds and re-insert, at this point you can select a different phone as described above. I’ve not had the disconnection issue mentioned by others, and have done a couple of 2 hour plus drives using the device.
There is no drop in quality, its equally responsive as if the phone is plugged directly into the car and you can now choose if you need to charge your phone (from a different USB) or whether you want to leave it in your pocket.
Overall it’s a great addition to carplay, and makes carplay more accessible for me. I would recommend this device if you also don’t always need to charge your phone and/or if you have multiple phones and want to be able to select which phone to connect to the cars audio systems.
Great little wireless CarPlay adapter. Makes it so much convenient to use CarPlay. Works really well, initial setup takes a minute but then it auto connects going forward. The connection time is pretty quick and it’s pretty much ready to go by the time I’m ready to start driving.
This is great, connects automatically when I get in my car and straight to Apple car play, no more wires which is exactly what I wanted, really easy to install. I got some strong double sided sticking tape and tucked it away where it can’t be seen. Best money I have spent, highly recommend it. Will be getting my husband one.
Fails to connect intermittently, but not the worst issue it can have. When connected works very well. Unit small enough to hide away in a cubby box. Would recommend
Easy to install!
Qualitative and works excellent!
Great value for money!
Recommended it!
So easy to set up pug in set the Bluetooth on phone join and your done . As long as you’re Bluetooth on when getting back in the car it finds it straight away . No problem at the moment only time will tell .
After reading some reviews about the various products that provide wireless CarPlay I opted for this one.
With the few weeks of ownership I have noticed some common themes that others have reported about the problems they have experienced for example after a few hours of continuous use it disconnects and I have experienced it freezing and to rectify this I had to disconnect by removing it from the USB port.
The UI is green which is the screen prior to the screen booting to the main CarPlay screen. It takes around 30 seconds to become usable.
This product is idea for short journeys providing you already have wired CarPlay, this device is only for Apple. For longer journeys you may need to hook up to wired CarPlay to ensure you have decent battery when you arrive at your destination.
Overall a great idea, small, easy to use and set up. Idea for short journeys so you don’t need to keep connecting your phone to have CarPlay.
I ordered this wireless carplay adapter for my Nissin X-Trail.
Arrived in a black seal box, says wireless USB adapter. I had to open to make sure I had Ottocast Carplay adapter I had ordered.
So straight forward to setup. Firstly ensure you have carplay feature in car, once this is confirmed it is just plug an play. Only compatible with I Phone.
Turn on Bluetooth and WIFI on I Phone, turn on Carplay and pair ottocast wireless unit using lead provided to car once complete connect to phone by Bluetooth.
Works exactly same current carplay features, excellent dongle providing 5G WIFI. Very fast with excellent connectivity.
No hassle, sleek and compact wireless adapter that ensures I remain safe and wireless free when using my I phone in car.
Overall, Carplay dongle is not cheap but it improves the manufacturers original carplay mode 100% that I can’t believe it has not been built in to original system. Benefits out weigh cost and instant connectively is a necessity and comes as second nature to you.
I would recommend this product.
This is the version that Ottocast calls the 2.0 and as far as I know it is the newest version. It uses 5ghz wifi to connect from your phone to your stereo and activates the Carplay. It takes 20-30 seconds to get a connection and then it works perfectly. I have this on VW CC head unit and it works great.
I purchased what was listed on Amazon as last version. It worked pretty well.
This has been a great purchase. It very rarely has a connection problem, but will sometimes buffer or have a hiccup, but honestly it is a lot less than I had with it as a wired connection. I would definitely purchase this again. The convenience of just getting in the Jeep and not having to remember to plug in my phone and find a safe place for it is really great. Once you do the initial setup (about a minute), it just works and you don’t have to do anything. 100% recommend.
Fantastic bit of kit for the price. If you’ve had CarPlay before then go without it can feel like a big downgrade, this can bridge that gap. It works as well as my standard CarPlay feature, with no compromise on any features. On occasion it can feel a tad behind on touch but honestly it’s the same in my other car as standard.
A great quality unit that does what’s expected, a good option to dealer prices.
Works as described. Now my iphone seamlessly connects to CarPlay over Bluetooth. Would recommend!
CarPlay is a useful system to allow you to safely use your iPhone while you are driving, utilising your dashboard screen to display relevant iOS screens and buttons, all without messy wires making the inside of your car look untidy.
The box includes the CarPlay dongle, a USB cable, plus the manual. First impressions are good, with the device being easy to set up and use. The device was detected immediately when connected via USB, with a prompt for a bluetooth connection shortly after – allowing you to connect your phone very easily. One of the big selling points of this dongle is the speed of operation, allowing you to boot up the CarPlay feature in no time at all. Another big feature is the ability to issue voice commands to Siri without having to take your hands off the wheel.
The only negatives that I could mention are the fact that the device is prone to crashing, but only on rare occasions. There might be a slight over-heating issue as it only seems to happen when it has been on for a long time but it’s not a deal breaker. Also this Ottocast model isn’t the cheapest on the market, but then you usually get what you pay for ;-).
A SIMPLE PLUG IN AND PLAY APPLE WIRELESS ADAPTER FOR INCAR PLAY. ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH IPHONES ON IOS 10 OR ABOVE. QUICK PAIRING VIA BLUETOOTH TO ENABLE CONNECTION BETWEEN ADAPTER AND PHONE. CONTROL YOUR MUSIC VIA CAR COMPUTER WITHOUT THE NEED TO USE YOUR PHONE.
I think when they designed the electronic equipment for cars that featured CarPlay, the manufacturers would’ve thought out of the box for a small moment and realised that wireless connectivity was much more convenient and what customers actually wanted, not wired up plug in connectivity, it’s not as if the technology wasn’t around. I’m aware certain manufacturers are incorporating wireless technology into their cars now, for us that don’t have that option to buy a new car, then this CarPlay adapter solves the wiring issue with our Iphones and turns the CarPlay feature in our existing cars into a truly wireless affair!
It’s a small bit of kit for a lot of money but it’s worth it as it will basically make life so much easier, just basically set up, and forget about it! I’ve connected this to my Peugeot and it was a straight forward set up, just read the instructions on the Amazon product page to get an idea.
The only benefit of plugging in my phone was that it would charge up during use in the car, however, I’m lucky enough to have a built in wireless charging pad so I just place my phone on that.
The cool feature of this product is basically once set up, it’s then automatic from their, it connects each time the ignition is switched on to my phone (Iphone 8) and the display is ready for me to use.
The one thing I would say about this adapter is that I’ve never had any disconnections, now, I’ve tried a few adapters for my car and have had the occasional disconnection or in extreme cases, a disconnection and the phone wouldn’t reconnect. So this adapter has an 100% solid connection without any dropouts, so that’s a big plus for me.
I would’ve liked a longer connection cable on this unit, as such I have to locate it basically close to the USB port which isn’t a problem as such but when I want to use my built in wireless charging pad I have to place my phone under this adapter as it sits more or less on top of the pad due to the close proximity of the pad and USB port. I think I can solve this issue by purchasing an extension cable but will have to look into that, if it’s possible, then I will place this adapter in the glove compartment out of the way.
Overall, for the ease of set up and use this is most definitely a 5 star product, price wise, it’s very competitive as you can pay a lot more for a wireless Carplay adapter and this one works as it should.
N.B. Always ensure your car is compatible with this adapter before ordering.
I have a small pet peeve that the angle of the male usbc plug element that connects to the Ottocast was manufactured with a slight angle, but it doesn’t affect operation at all and seems to keep the plug mounted securely.
I chose this to try with my partners Citroen C5 as my car is ancient. I set it up for him and was surprised by how quick and easy it was to set up. The unit is smaller than the average phone and a little thicker, it is black and unobtrusive. It comes with the USB cable that you just plug in, no other cables are needed just that one. cable. Once plugged in to the USB it was automatically detected and prompts for a Bluetooth connection. I set it to search with my partners phone on visible for discovery and then allowed the connection when prompted. After the initial Bluetooth connection, it is then connected by Wi-Fi.
The unit can stay plugged in so there is no need to do anything after setting up, once my partner goes into the car the phone connects automatically. It works with Siri, he can get into the car and very quickly ask for music or news etc, he can set navigation by just asking as well. It just makes everything quick and easy. Voice dialling, music etc, a great timesaver.
Do you need it to use carplay? No
Does it make using carplay quick and easy with no hassle? Absolutely yes.
It isn’t cheap but it is a very handy gadget, great for a pressie too.
After initial setup, definitely connects to the iPhone whenever I get into the car and put on the ignition. I wanted my car to have wireless CarPlay so that the phone is independent of the cable.
I think if you want that functionality, you should definitely try this. However, let me tell you, this might not be 100% comparable to a system that might have such functionality from the Car manufacturer itself.
The lag is very small, not impacting the functionality. Voice call, steering buttons, all work as well.
Delivered in its own box

If you are considering buying you need to have an iPhone 6 or above for connectivity to work .
Tested this little gem in a 2017 Vauxhall Adam and was amazed at how simple and quick it was to connect. All the wireless functions work just as if your iPhone was hard wired to the USB port. Took seconds to connect via Bluetooth just needed to enter the code into your iPhone that was displayed on the screen and hey presto your up and running.
Turning off the car and on again the Bluetooth automatically connected to the same phone so no need to keep entering codes great little adapter that makes life just that little bit easier.
It is quite expensive when all it does is make your Apple CarPlay wireless but it’s whether this is important or not.
Highly recommend.
Amazing little device from OTTOCAST which makes your Apple CarPlay wireless. I used this on my Volkswagen Golf 2019 and it worked straight away. All I had to do was connect my iPhone to the bluetooth and within seconds it was all setup. Works very smooth and highly recommend to anyone who is looking to use their Apple CarPlay wirelessly.
