Carplay Wireless Adapter for Apple, 2024 Upgrade Carplay
Carplay Wireless Adapter for Apple, 2024 Upgrade Carplay Converts Wired to Wireless CarPlay Dongle for Wireless Control Plug & Play Carplay Fit for Cars 2017+ & for iPhone iOS 10+ (Dark Gray)
I bought a very expensive Ottocast U2 Air last year and have had nothing but trouble with it, to the point it was taking 45s to load and constantly failing.
So, I took the plunge and bought this Mavlou model while on offer, and I have to say that, apart from a few niggles, it works well with my after market I stalled unit on my Mazda 2.
Pros:
* loads surprisingly fast; faster than the Ottocast even when new
* no perceivable lag changing apps or switching tracks with Spotify from steering wheel control
* good quality audio
Cons: hence 4 stars
* having a few issues using Siri for dictating messages – Siri asks me which app I want to use, then promptly shuts down, but I’ve figured out that I need to say, ‘ message X using WhatsApp’ and it’s fine
* hung while using Waze once a speed camera alert popped up
* went a bit haywire when using Spotify
* the three circle screen keeps popping up – is that normal?
However, I have got iOS18 beta on my phone, so possibly an issue with that.
Will persevere and see what happens.
Was a little sceptical when I purchased this adapter but have to say it is really good! Connected very easily no hassle getting it to work with my Ford, Great bit of kit! If you’re fed up with plugging your phone in every time you get in your car then buy one! 10/10 exellent!
There is probably a 0.5 second delay compared to wired Apple CarPlay but you honestly don’t notice it at all after a few days. Very easy to use but just make sure your phone isn’t connected to your cars Bluetooth when trying to connect.
Very easy to set up. So now I just get in the car and carplay is instantly there. Nothing to plug in or adjust once connected. Was worried wether it’s using power went engine off but seems to go into standby. It starts when my phone is close to the door. Love it. Ordered another one for my son-in-law.
