Wireless CarPlay Adapter - Fastest 5Ghz - AutoSky - Plug and Play - USB-C and USB-A Cables - Wired CarPlay Required

Im not sure what others are complaining about but this thing works just fine using a stock OEM head unit. I think aftermarket units run into problems a lot no matter how reputable the brand because they deviate from the specs given to OEM car manufacturers.Regardless what I love most is the slim low profile design of this unit. It's like a thumb drive and thats it. No wires, no giant block dangling around your cup holder area. Just super neat and tidy. My only complaint is that it's a little slow to boot up taking maybe 30-45 seconds on average to connect but thats it. I'm often a couple of blocks away from home before it finally kicks on, but you get what you pay for. Maybe the more expensive units have faster startup times. I dont mind it really.The actual performance is perfectly acceptable. People are complaining about a laggy UI, cmon who really cares about how fast the screen moves when you swipe? You dont really interact with carplay that much once it's going. GPS moving map animations are buttery smooth so there is no lag using waze/gmaps/apple maps. Sure if I click pause it takes like ONE SECOND to actually pause or skip a track, no big deal there at all. Scrolling through audio queues in spotify is fine.It's completely stable. I think I've had to replug it maybe twice in literally thousands of drives to "reboot" it because my phone just wasnt connecting for some odd reason, probably wasnt even the devices fault. I say this is a very easy buy. Although for 30 bucks extra if you can get something that boots in 10 seconds like my Android Motorola MA1 then it might be worth it for that.

We’ll this started off great. I was able to follow instructions and connect effortlessly my iPhone to our car’s CarPlay wirelessly.Unfortunately, I added a second phone - my wife’s - seemingly without a problem. She gets in the car a little later and her phone doesn’t connect.After troubleshooting, I attempt to remove the AutoSky device from her phone and remove the device from our car in settings. After several attempts to restart the car with the Apple cable connected for CarPlay, the car and the phone no longer connected at all. AutoSky completely bricked my CarPlay.Unfortunately, I thought this little USB adapter would’ve been non-invasive. But instead, it messed up our car’s CarPlay and my wife’s phone’s ability to connect to CarPlay. I have not yet tried my phone to see if it will reconnect using the Apple cable but will later.I will not be trying other brands either for the potential risk and causing me to have to go for the car dealer/manufacturer for something so unnecessary.Contact appears to be email only. RED FLAG. I should’ve known better. I’m sure it may be good email support but having a tech company, you should really have a number to call if someone runs into tech issues so they can troubleshoot live.I’ll have to sacrifice wireless convenience for CarPlay system reliability. Glad it worked for others, but unfortunately not for us.

Used this in my mk7 golf to achieve wireless Car-play, and be able to close the storage compartment in front of the cup holders. Not only did it fit nicely, it also connected quick and more reliably than just a cable. Great product.

Value wise this is a pretty good deal, the only downside I’ve noticed with this is the slight second delay in playing a new song and it actually updating on the CarPlay.

After upgrading my iPhone to IOS-18, Apple Car Play did not work in my 2018 Toyota Camry. The system refused to recognize my iPhone via the USB cable. After multiple days of troubleshooting and speaking to Apple, I purchased this item. It was very easy to set up, and it worked flawlessly. It automatically picks up my Bluetooth signal from my iPhone when I enter the car. It's very convenient because I no longer have to hook up my USB cable to get Apple Car Play to work. I use it primarily for navigation and listening to audiobooks. I wish I had purchased it sooner.

If I could, I'd give this 3 1/2 stars primarily because of the initial problems that I had in getting things set up properly. Now that I've got things fined tuned, it works quite well.The initial setup was painful and I had to factory reset the adapter several times to finally get it working properly. For whatever reason, at first, I'd get the device set up and then it would connect as another CarPlay instance. I'd get the adapter set up as CarPlayBox_1234 and then next time I'd connect, I'd see my Bluetooth connected to CarPlayBox_ABCD and then I would see CarPlayBox_1234 in my Other Cars section of the CarPlay settings. This happened multiple times, but finally after factory reseting the device once again, it now connects properly and there's only one device listed.The only other downside is the seemingly random amount of time it takes to connect to my head unit. Sometimes it connects in about 10 seconds and other times I can be half a mile from my starting point before it connects. I've played around with the Startup Delay in settings and it seems to make no difference.There is a short lag when using the control buttons on screen or the head unit, but I got used to that pretty quickly.It's nice to be able to hop in my car and not have to plug in my iPhone on short trips and still be able to listen to music or Podcasts. Also, these are only supposed to work with factory installed CarPlay units, but it works fine with my Sony AX5000 head unit that I installed myself. I wish I'd have know this years ago... I'd have bought one then.
