Carsifi Wireless Android Auto Adapter Setup and Review

Wireless Android Auto should be standard on all new vehicles at this point, but sadly this isn't the case with my new 2022 Kia EV6. The Kia EV6 still requires wires to connect to Android Auto. In this video I setup and review the Carsifi Wireless Android Auto Adapter on my Kia EV6 and it works great.

Carsifi works great but check out some of my recent videos for more options too! Thanks for watching! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for more videos 😀

I have been using this one for about a month now in Canada. It's much better than having to plug it in all the time. I usually keep my phone in my pocket so this is great. Music sounds pretty good and it is very responsive.

This thing solves my gripes about the Motorola ma1. Removable cord so I can mount it out of the way instead of hanging from a dongle, and the option to shut off when my phone disconnects from the car, brilliant! My garage is close to my living room, so the Motorola can be aggravating. Gonna have to switch. Thanks for the great info!

Thanks for the video. Do the steering wheel buttons all work when playing music (volume, skipping tracks)? And have you tested the button on the unit for swapping between two phone connections?

[janibh]

Thanks for the Video...
Will this only work with "Android head units" or
Any "Head Units" ( Wired Android auto enabled)?

[LycanWaifu]

What's the audio quality compared to plugging in the USB directly to the phone or using an aux cord? That's the one thing that makes me hesitant to get one of the boxes.

[mrTrekirk]

Just bought one thanks for the information 😀

Hi Jeff, thanks for the review. One question, can you listen to your built in SXM radio while using AA Google map? I tried an Ottocast U2X-Pro and could not do it. The Ottocast was connected ( viewed) as a Media connected device (on a Kona EV) and you had to use one or the other but not both simultaneously. I tried with both Split screen and not with same result. Returned the thing and got back to pluging the phone through USB and all is fine.

Sorry I just browsed through your video quickly. Does this adapter work with your stereo's stock Android Auto or does it use it's own Android Auto overlay once plugged in? Thank you.

Great video. Would be helpful to see how long it takes to connect from starting up. Also I have a full android ai box hooked up to my EV6 and my biggest gripe is the voice assistant button on the steering wheel doesn’t work as seamlessly as it does when hard wired.

[TheSpeederist]

Does the connection work if you cannot first connect the car wired?

I have also second question: I have problem with Skoda and Samsung working together. I have heard it's about cable connection as my older phone is working fine. Do you have any tips which cables would work to fix this problem? Samsungs own cable isn't working sadly.

Looks great,

I'm curious if this would work with a MG ZS 2020, it has Apple car play, although no Android Auto. So I am looking for an adaptor that would make this possible to run Android Auto on this car?

[evodessey]

Great review.I’m tempted to get one.The Euro EV6 shuts down it’s USB ports a few minutes after the car is switched off to protect the 12v battery.Is this not the case on North American models?

Can you still use the wireless charger to charge your phone while this is connected? I've read on some devices it often will drop Bluetooth connection if using the charge pad.

[ernestomartin]

Hi, thanks for the video.
Do you use a cover for the piano black?

[kazzpham]

Hi Jeff,

I've been using the adapter for a while now in an XV Subaru 2021 model. I don't know why at times the adapter disconnect from the phone, or it freezes. The only way to get it going again is to switch engine off and start again. I've contacted Carsifi customer service and was told to reset and start the connection process from the start. I have couple times, but all failed. I'm hoping you can assist me further. Cheers.

[louissenn]

Would you mind to measure the exact time from starting the car to Android auto is open and fully running.

[noordinlalji]

Dont you think the wire option is better as it charges your phone at the same time. Little inconvenience plugging and unplugging the phone. Your comments the other draw back of using wired compare to wireless. Thanks

Dobrý den mám Škodu Yeti nemám aktivován mirrorlink bude to fugovat děkuji za odpověd.

[noelthedad]

Thanks for the review. Did you get a successful connection with a second phone? I'm struggling to get wireless Android Auto to work with my partner's phone. The carsifi always picks my phone Pixel 7pro. The double tap magic button disconnects android auto from pixel7pro for a minute and tries to connect to my partner's phone Samsung Note 9 but fails and then picks up my phone again.
