Carlinkit 5.0 Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter for Wired Cars

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

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.

Had it 6 months now and all I can say that it’s garbage. Worked fine for a month or two but now it loses connection constantly. It’s unbearable when driving. For this price range I would expect it to work correctly. I’ve done all resets and still have the problem explained above.

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.

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!

Got this for my MG4 EV, and it’s been absolutely spot on. What makes it a winner for me is the delay setting—essential for modern EVs where the infotainment system needs to start up first. It kicks in perfectly every time, no hiccups or issues. Super easy to use, just plug and play, and it’s been flawless since day one. If you’re looking for a wireless adapter that actually works, this is the one. Can’t recommend it enough!

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.

Excellent piece of kit, transformed my 2015 718 Boxster Spyders car play. Would recommend A+++

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.
