AutoSky Wireless CarPlay Adapter 2025 Pro Edition - Fastest and Most Compact Wireless CarPlay Adapter Factory Wired CarPlay Cars – USB-A and USB-C Cables – Wired CarPlay Required - OTA Updates.

I have a Lexus with built-in Wireless CarPlay, which is very handy when you’re hopping in/out of the car. On long trips, I still plug the device into the USB port to keep it charging since Wireless CarPlay drains an iPhone battery pretty fast, faster than wireless charging can keep up. I wanted the same capability in my Jeep, and this ticks the boxes well for a very reasonable price. 1. The “Delay” - There’s actually two delays. The first type of delay is the time it takes from starting the car to being connected to Wireless CarPlay. On every vehicle I’ve seen/tried Wireless CP on, it always takes several seconds for the system to boot and to connect to the iPhone. The delay in connection with this device is comparable to those cars where it’s built-in, possibly a second or two longer. The second type of delay is the time between pressing a button on-screen, such as pause, and having the iPhone complete the action. Again, even on vehicles with it built-in there is typically a small delay of 1-2 seconds. Some car models are faster than others in this regard, but none are instantaneous. None are as fast as a direct-wired connection. Strangely, this doesn’t slow down the actual interface itself (e.g., swiping left/right between screens), mostly just delays play/pause commands for music and podcasts. The degree of the delay is identical to the delay I had in my Jeep when I was merely connected to the radio via Bluetooth. If I pause the music on screen via Bluetooth, there’s actually about a 2-second delay before the actual music pauses. It’s the same via Wireless CP through this device. This is likely due to this using a combination of Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity in the way that Wireless CarPlay actually works. The heavy lifting/bandwidth items are managed via WiFi connection and the commands, and probably other things, traverse via Bluetooth. At least that’s my suspicion. The delay exists in every Wireless CP implementation I’ve encountered, and nearly every Bluetooth connection, but some cart models are much more delayed than others with Jeep being one of the most pronounced I’ve experienced. Still fully usable and not a deal breaker at all. Setup is very straightforward. There is no app you need to download. It merely asks you to connect to the device via Bluetooth, and my phone immediately recognized it as a CarPlay device and requested permissions to use Wireless CarPlay. It was less than 30 seconds for the initial setup and once set up, needs no further effort. I also didn’t have to update any firmware. The device is about the same size as a traditional USB thumb drive, and it comes with a short USB-A to USB-C cable about 3” long and a short USB-C to USB-C cable also about 3” long (not counting plugs). This is the smallest of all the Wireless CP devices I saw on Amazon that had decent reviews. Lastly, I did not have to make my phone forget/disable Bluetooth to the Jeep directly. They remain paired at this time. I believe the Wireless CP simply supersedes this connection, just as wired CP likely has higher priority than wireless CP (I’ll test that soon just out of curiosity). Of course if you ever needed to turn off wireless CP, all you have to do is unplug the USB cable from this device and it powers down immediately. Overall, this is performing exactly as hoped for, at least on my Jeep, and this is coming from someone with experience in other vehicles with built-in wireless CP. This is, in my opinion, at least 95% as good if not equivalent. It’s also a very reasonable price if you just want to try it out.

THIS… Is the Wireless CarPlay Adapter 2023 Pro Edition by AutoSky and it is a quick fix to make your cars wired Apple car play… WIRELESS!!! Gone are the days of plugging your phone in and waiting for Apple car play to load or heaven forbid you have a cable on its last life. This all sounds amazing, so lets cut into it! Setup ============== The setup is quite easy! I plug the product into my cars USB-A plug for carplay. From there, I connect to it in Bluetooth and BOOOM done. Works amazing and is just that easy. The setup was under 5 minutes and no curse words were said, would trust my mother to do it on her own (without calling me)! Ease of Use ============== This product works amazingly 95% of the time, the general day-to-day is amazing and there are only issues randomly when it just needs to be unplugged and replugged back in which is a quick fix. All issues are solved before I leave my neighborhood and the day-to-day life with the product is amazing and reliable. Conclusion ============== This product is great, works well, and is very reliable. My only issue is that I didn't but it sooner!!! Seriously just do it! ~~~SOMETHING TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY!!!~~~ This product will have a few-second delay upon starting your vehicle, this is to allow time for the product to boot up and deploy the wireless apple carplay and also allow it to connect to your phone. Takes less than 15 seconds and most of the time I don’t even realize it was connecting before it is connected. This is unanimous across the industry for these products and one doesn’t really boot up faster than another… just slower.

The product is incredible when it works. But that is only about 20% - 35% of the time, and the success rate seems to be getting lower as time goes on. I have a brand new Mazda CX-5 and the fact it doesn’t have wireless connection is mind boggling, but I had high hopes for this little device, and initially it didn’t disappoint. It was a game changer to begin with. It worked about 95% of the time and had immediate connection getting into the car, no latency and very clear connection with phone calls and music, but as time has passed (3 months now), connecting has become a major problem. The first few times it was an easy fix, just had to go to my phone and manually click on the Bluetooth device to reconnect, no biggie, but now I have to dink around with unplugging it, plugging the device back into the car, delete it from my phone, pair the device again, and often having to do this SEVERAL times before it works. I get in and out of my car often throughout the day and it is a waste of time to deal with, and so frustrating knowing the wonders that I’m missing out on when it works flawlessly. I’d invest my money elsewhere for $70 if I had to do it over.

I really like this Apple CarPlay adapter! It works great and makes using CarPlay so much easier. The only downside is that it only works with one phone, which can be inconvenient if multiple people use the vehicle. Other than that, it’s a great product and performs well.

Works great! lt auto-connects to my iPhone when I get in and start my 2021 Subaru, and Google Maps (my choice for navigation) on Apple Auto Play starts automatically. Once in a while it doesn’t start, so I just unplug the adapter and plug it back it. So glad that I can just keep phone on my pocket.

This device solved an annoying need to plug my phone into a 2018 Audi Q5 in order to activate CarPlay. Once the device is connected to your phone, it works well. The unit starts up very quickly for me after starting the car, sometimes in just a few seconds. Other times, you get a confusing message. Read on... Connecting the device to the phone by Bluetooth goes smoothly and maybe I should have stopped there. Updating the firmware in the car stopped before completion, which the instructions warned can happen. I ended up taking the unit into the house, plugging it into a power supply, and then following the directions again. The problem is that the firmware setup creates a private wifi network on the device that you need to log into. Once that is done, the unit and the phone will connect by wifi going forward, NOT using Bluetooth. The problem here is that when I start the car up, it occasionally brings up a screen in the car that says connect your phone to Autosky by Bluetooth. However, that connection doesnt work because it's been pre-empted by the private wifi connection to it. Are you confused yet? Yes, I was and spent a ton of time trying to fix it when all I had to do was wait a minute for the phone-Auto sky wifi connection to happen. As mentioned, it's usually seconds but it can be a minute while also showing a screen asking for a Bluetooth connection. This became so frustrating that I can't recommend this unit to others. My radio/streaming music and phone work fine with CarPlay but others have reported a problem. My friend bought one to try in a 2022 Mercedes SUV and it connected OK but making calls with the phone did not work well. He had to return it and went with a different brand.

Installed on my 2023 Road Glide ST and it works as described.

Update: Yea this thing lasted about 6 months. Half the time I enter my car, i have to fiddle with the bluetooth connection and my radio that this is connected to for 5 minutes to actually get it to connect. And its not my phone having an issue with the connection because i recently got a new phone and tested it with that and had the same exact issues. At least this product isn't super expensive and I got some good use out of it, but If I were you, i'd just use Wired CarPlay since its insanely more reliable than poorly built devices for wireless CarPlay connections. :/ Original Review: "Got this as a gift and luckily it works with my Pioneer aftermarket CarPlay radio. it works perfectly, connects to my phone seamlessly everytime i turn on my car, its easy to setup and there doesnt seem to be any quality loss in audio and music. the only thing is that it takes 3 full seconds from when you press the play button to actually start a song, or pause it, but thats very minor. hopefully this thing is built well and can last for a many years. (only giving a 4 because reliability is unknown)"

El radio de yaris 2023 no funciona correcto con CarPlay y se desconecta con el cable. Al conectar funciona bien es fácil de conectar y soluciona que se desconectara como antes. Funciona muy bien y no se desconecta como con el cable. Funciona bien con el radio que trae mismo que trae Yaris 2023, Razie y Avanza que traen el mismo radio. Espero les sirva por que me sentía súper enojado que se desconectara y Toyota se hace bien wey con estos esteros chafas pero si se soluciono. Saludos

Installed on my HD Ultra Limited and works as advertised. Highly recommend

The only consideration to take into account when using this device is that depending on your car stereo and phone combination, you may need to disconnect or forget the Bluetooth link between the mobile phone and the car stereo to let the Apple CarPlay device do Maps, & Music at the same time. For me this prevented the phone trying to bypass the device and play straight to the car. As for the device, it delivers a fast connection with minimal delay per press of the steering controls. Brilliant addition to any vehicle for a daily commute upgrade.

Funciona excelente en un Jetta 2016, Es súper fácil de instalar y actualizar, tiene un delay de como 1 segundo al cambiar de canción pero la verdad es que por la funcionalidad es casi minúsculo, está excelente, no duden en comprarlo.

Aveces la conexión es lenta y el audio tiene retraso pero en general funciona mejor que muchas otras marcas
