Product Information

Testing these devices made it clear that we’re overdue to see wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in vehicles—sans dongles. Once CarPlay has launched, everything runs as you would expect from this new wireless CarPlay dongle. On pairing to the dongle from my iPhone I could see the same connection and CarPlay boot-up speeds as seen on the other dongles I have tried that run this same firmware. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . With this upgrade, you won't have to worry about your dongle falling off and getting scratched if you hit a bump while driving.

Overall I find this product to be amazing and well worth the money to be able to use the wireless charger or leave your phone in your pocket. It takes just over 3 minutes from when you open the car to when the device powers off and your phone reconnects to home Wi-Fi. If your vehicle only has a USB-C port, you can purchase an additional USB-C to USB-C cable from the factory to support the connection with your car. If your car has both factory-wired Carplay and Android Auto, and you want to use wireless Android Auto, it is recommended you choose Carlinkit A2A or Carlinkit 5. I personally don’t find this to be a huge deal, but I think native CarPlay from Kia should probably disconnect instantly.Imagine stepping into your car, and with a single tap on your dashboard, your favorite Apple Music app, maps, and messages seamlessly appear on your car’s infotainment system.

At about the 3 minute mark you get the notification that you left doors unlocked, then you hear the motor closing the air vent in the front grill, then it cuts power to the CarPlay USB port. Founded in 2003, PriusChat has been the go-to spot for Prius, hybrid, and EV discussion for over 10 years. The unit is nice and small, and the provided short usb cable works well for this location, though an even shorter cable might be better. Compared to the other CarlinKit dongles, it’s just over half their length and it is a few millimeters thicker and wider. Fit for cars from 2016 and iPhone iOS version 10+, this adapter is the perfect companion for your Apple CarPlay system.Mine was at a point where the phone connecting was hit or miss, no matter how often I changed cables.
