Carlinkit 5.0 Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter for Wired Cars

I bought this to convert CarPlay from wired to wireless in my 2024 Ford (still disappointing it doesn't have this as standard!), plugging it in works completely as expected, setup was simple and straightforward.It comes with a USB-A to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-C cable so you should be able to plug the adapter into either port in your car. The adapter also has a USB-A connector that you can use to charge a device if you only have one USB port in your car.I've always noticed on my car - when using wired CarPlay - the screen is very zoomed in and everything is large. Using the settings web page for this adapter I was able to change the resolution, along with lots of other settings to improve speed and performance, and now CarPlay displays in a much better way!I've used this adapter everyday for months and it works perfectly, it connects within seconds and will remain solid for very long journeys too.I can't fault this product, if your car has wired CarPlay only, this is a MUST!

The performance of this is generally okay. I always re-plug in each time to avoid battery drain in the car, and it’s been mostly reliable connecting easily with not much time to connect to the system in my car. No lag but occasionally sat nav has frozen and needs me to unlock my phone to kick it back into action - I don’t know if this is the device or phone related but can be a pain especially on long journeys, so I’ve started using it less and connecting directly to my car more as a result. Good value but possible improvements could be made but this may not be the Carlinkit’s fault.

Yep, it comes with good marketing but basically stops working after a few months. Ours worked great on a Volvo XC90 and iPhones for a few months then the car screen started going blank occasionally. Can put up with that, but the screen and selection lag started getting worse over a few weeks to the point that after 6 months it is now unusable. The lag to begin with was unnoticable and the items seemed great, but now the screen refreshes maybe every 20-25 seconds and it's impossible to select anything as a result. The connections keep dropping and it seems to not like reconnecting.We've tried deleting and resetting all phone connections, repaiting wireless and bluetooth and resetting the Carlinkit device to factory settings but nothing at all works. I've spent 60 quid on an unusable box, that is under warranty, that I cannot get a response on.The manufacturer doesn't respond to any kind of query either by phone, email or whatsapp.Shame - it could be good but simply stops working, as most Chinese made kit does.

Easy to set up initially and then connecting is just automatic when the car turns on. Slightly pricier than some other options but I preferred how compact this was as well as overall looks so opted for it. Had mine for plenty of time and it’s held up well, no loss on sound quality that I’ve noticed. Wouldn’t have minded some adhesive or Velcro mounting accessory with it to mount as I’ve since used an adhesive pad on mine to stick it inside the centre console with the wires out of the way.

Have two of these now after the first one being so successful, works great, connects fast, and a damn site better than my wired carplay. Only downside is that my phone battery drains fast on carplay and the phone regularly displays messages about needing to cool down.On the whole, good.Not always best for short journeys, but that's likely due to the standard infotainment system already being good.Car is 2021 merc glc.Little to no lag, occasional blip in audio that lasts a second, every few days.Minor stuff, can't fault it for the money

I love CarPlay in my 2016 Seat Leon but constantly plugging in the iPhone every time I got in was a pain.Along comes this gadget with a decent discount as well and works straight out of the box. Plug it in, link your phone, ok a couple of commands and I was in business, so easy!Now whenever I get in my car it links within 20 or 30 seconds with my phone in my pocket. There’s a minimum of lag and it turns itself off after a couple of minutes of removing the ignition key. I used a Velcro tab to hold it out of sight in a small storage bin I’ve got.I can recommend it highly enough if you want to upgrade your CarPlay experience!

After reviewing a good few of those I finally tried this one. I’m disappointed and after a couple of weeks in the car I’ve had to send it back. It probably connects when you get into the car only about 70% of the time. I’ve been having to “forget this device” and start again on many occasions. Once it’s connected I found it to be very laggy! Especially when using maps. I think this is the case with most of them actually, but this one being the price it is I suppose I expected it to work as if I was using my cable , and it definitely doesn’t. I found it quite frustrating especially when you got into the car and just struggled to connect until you started from scratch and paired the device to your phone again. Some people might find it acceptable for it to work like this but I just found it annoying. I’ve reviewed other makes and all seem to carry the same kind of reviews, some good some not so good. I’m very reluctant to try another brand and will just carry on using car play with my cable.

Why did you choose this product over others?:The unit connected easily and quickly. It was very impressive - at first. After a few weeks now, it cuts out often while playing music. Otherwise it does work well. There is about a further one second lag in the location on the map compared to connecting with a wire. Now that it's taking up my USB port, charging my phone isn't easy. It does have a pass-through USB port, but it is extremely slow to charge my phone, so not really usable. I only got about a 2% charge after 30 minutes, where plugging straight in would have given me 30% at least.

Tweede die ik koop, nu voor onze tweede auto. Werk feilloos.

Ich nutze den Carlinkit jetzt seit einiger Zeit und bin rundum zufrieden. Die Einrichtung war wirklich einfach: anschließen, einmal koppeln und seitdem verbindet sich mein Smartphone automatisch, sobald ich das Auto starte.Besonders positiv war, dass das Gerät bereits mit der neuesten Software ausgeliefert wurde. Ich musste kein Update durchführen und konnte es sofort verwenden.Die Verbindung ist stabil, CarPlay funktioniert flüssig und ohne spürbare Verzögerungen. Navigation, Musik und Telefonie laufen genauso zuverlässig wie mit einer Kabelverbindung – nur eben deutlich komfortabler.Wer keine Lust mehr hat, das Handy jedes Mal per Kabel anzuschließen, für den ist dieser Adapter eine wirklich praktische Lösung. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen und kann ihn uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Ürünle ilgili internette factory CarPlay diye ibareler vardı. Sonradan takılma multimedia cihazda çalışır mı çalışmaz mı diyerek aldım ama problemsiz bağlandı. İlk bağlantıdan sonra arabayı çalıştırınca kendi bağlanıyor sıkıntısız. Şarkı atlattığımızda 2-2 buçuk saniye kadar arkadan geliyor çok dert değil. Telefonu sürekli şarjda tutmamak ve hep aynı yere koymamak için aldım. İsimi gördü.Tek büyük eksi ürünü kargodan aldığım gün fiyatının düşmüş olması. Ayıp oldu biraz.

Comme décrit, je n'ai aucun problème de connexion avec la voiture et mon gsm (i20 N et samsung A54) pour info dès que je m'approche de la voiture et pas encore assi dedans mon gsm bip déjà pour la connections, je n'ai aucune coupure et liaison parfaite. J'espère que cela va durer dans le temps.
