Carlinkit3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter, Wired to Wireless Dongle, Stable and Faster Connection, Suitable with Factory OEM Wired CarPlay Car

Work as expectedBut stopped when upgraded its softwareGood that there was a rollback

I’ve had mine for almost a year now in my mustang and it has been great! I’ve gone through the set up process twice because I got a new phone and it was quick and easy both times and took about a minute to do.The device itself works almost perfectly. It connects in about 15-20 seconds when I get into my car. Occasionally it will not connect or show up in car play but simply unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes the problem.While using it you probably won’t notice much difference compared to having your phone plugged into your car. However, there is a slight delay in the sound so when you play or pause the music from your phone you will notice a 1-2 second delay. This delay doesn’t seem to affect phone calls. I’ve taken many phone calls while using this device and never noticed a delay that affects the call.I’ve loved using this product and even recommended it to my family and friends. My mom bought a device and it works great in her jeep, however she bought a 2nd one for her corvette which was not compatible.Other than that issue she has also loved her device and so have I. It makes it a lot easier and I imagine it’s a lot better for my phone as I don’t have it plugged in all the time while I drive.

Es un muy buen producto, el problema que par Android auto tienes que conectarlo, y muchos tienen éste tipo de teléfono. Seguiré buscando uno para Android.

I bought it with reluctance, however quite impressed with the performance. Initially narrowed down to this product and otto cast, I chose this product base on the later's website caution it may not work with latest iOS.Used it for a couple of months, it was connecting wirelessly with in few (with in 20) seconds (Before I can take out the car from my garage on to the road). I am using it on my Mazda3 2022 and I cannot ask for more. I have used it on iPhone 6s, X & 12, has issues with 6s, but not with Others. Phone calls were crisp with no lag and music is good enough (In comparison to my Denon at home) on my car's Bose system. There is room for improvement I hope.Although I gave 5stars, that does not mean this units has no issues. There is noticeable (1sec) lag when you skipping songs, and also noted that it dominates the in car entertain system - it will try to show CarPlay all the time. This should be improved - and I hope this can be done in future software UPDATES. Well done to all the team at - Carlinkit.

Update 4/27/22: This dongle is now completely useless. Original review was about two to three weeks ago and since then, the problem of freezing up and losing connection has gotten worse. I’ve taken the unit out of my center storage area to ensure it does not overheat (see original details below) but that did absolutely nothing for it. Checking through other reviews here, it would appear that the average lifespan of this dongle is about 2.5 months. Way less in some cases. The fact that the return window is shorter than other products I’ve ever had to return may be a hint as to the reliability of this item. One thing is for sure… The company is making a killing at the price-point. Unacceptable in my opinion. I wouldn’t pay $40 for this. And with no ability to return it due to it failing outside the return window in most cases, our only recourse appears to be this review system. Downgrading to one star based on failure and absolutely no costumer support whatsoever.———————————————————————I’ve had this dongle in my 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye for about 3 months. Initial connection on startup is fairly quick (about 10-15 seconds) and touchscreen response has a very slight delay of about 1-2 seconds, which is very tolerable. All CarPlay apps work perfectly fine while the unit is online.Pros:The “tether-free” aspect is great. I personally don’t like a spaghetti knot of cables all over my center console.One huge plus in my case is the advantage of control over certain functions that are not available (for safety reasons) when hardwire-connected to my car. Namely, selecting different playlists other than what is currently active on your phone at the time of connection. While hardwired, for example, if I had “Playlist A” active, all songs within that playlist could be manipulated fully (play, pause, skip, etc.) via the car’s touchscreen. But if I wanted to go from “Playlist A” to “Playlist B” it required me to take my phone out of my pocket and select the newly desired playlist. With this dongle, that goes away and you can fully bounce from playlist to playlist, and even type different location searches on apps like Waze or Maps without the need to pre-select any of that prior to your drive, directly on the touchscreen. Also, I simply leave this plugged into my center console storage compartment connected to an “always on” USB power source. The current draw is so low that I (thankfully) haven’t had any issues with battery draining so far. I have left it plugged in for 4 days straight without starting the car and, so far so good. Not having to constantly plug it in and unplug it every time makes things very convenient.Cons:In reasonably warmer temperatures (nothing too hot) after about 15 minutes or so, the unit freezes. All music stops and any routes I have active in my navigation apps cease. The unit pretty much dies and becomes unresponsive altogether. The only remedy is to unplug it for about 10 seconds and then plug it back in. It will then work fine for about 15 more minutes or so, and then the cycle continues. For short trips this wouldn’t be an issue, but with my commute being 45 minutes to an hour one way each day, this gets pretty annoying. It’s to the point that I am considering doing away with this and going back to hardwire connection. I have noted that this happens more when it is hot. Maybe the unit overheats and just ceases? In cooler temperatures, it does not happen too much, if at all.Overall, I am satisfied with how it works WHEN it works. I just wish the reliability was better. Of note, I have updated firmware and take extremely good care of this unit.
