Fastest Wireless 2-in-1 Adapter in 2024 | Sunweyer Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Dongle Review

TL/DR: The Sunweyer wireless CarPlay & Android Auto adapter is a tiny little wireless adapter for wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay or wired Android Auto to wireless Android Auto.

Don't let its pint size fool you though, this thing is quick! At 12s into wireless CarPlay and 11s in to wireless Android Auto, this is the fastest combined 2in1 adapter I have tested, but what excited me was how native everything felt, which was a surprise when it doesn't feature the best Wi-Fi specs.

Both CP and AA is buttery smooth, it sounds great, touch input and calling lag is minimal, yet audio delay is still around 2-3s. There's a lot to like about this adapter, and if you get it sales, it can be had for as low as $39!

It suffers with a basic config menu, but there is GPS passthrough and background mode options, as well as display modes, wi-fi band frequency, so there's a few things here to help tackle any compatibility issues, but not the extent as in CarlinKit's and the recently reviewed Cuarko adapters. For now this adapter remains in my VW Golf, which says it all really.

Been a bit impressed by the firmware support. Just updated to the one released in July and it added an audio delay option where originally it seemed like the audio was like a second behind the track on the timer, and now it will start the track but make the track time go back a second to compensate (or a time offset of your choosing). Also see an option audio stream mode option between CD (44100) and DVD (48000). Think the force display option is new too.

Bought this for CarPlay based on your review for my new Ioniq 6 and at least for the first day worked very well. Very happy.

Absolutely fab, thank you bud, I’ve been watching loads of vids and couldn’t find one that was as tiny, affordable and impressive as this until now.
£45 is a steal as you say; I’m away to change the head unit of my 2011 VW T5.1 and the difference between wired and wireless CarPlay was over £120 between the two aftermarket units. I was about to just put up with the cable but this wee chap will fix that!
Thanks for your in depth reviews 👌🏽

[CmputrAce]

Thank you. I looked at several review videos - a few from you - and made the call on this one, using your link. 😀

Hi.
Do i loose the bluetooth connection to the car?
I mean, now i am connected to my Peugeot. If i install this, i will loose that conection, so the car phone app, for example, will stop working and only works thought AA, or it will keep working?

[adamkoepke]

Which version should I use for my 2012 Jeep wrangler jku? I have a iPhone 14 Pro or will the one you linked first work? I am using an aftermarket stereo

[kmb]

I don't understand what benefits "GPS passthrough" provides? Please explain to me.

[jeffharding]

Great review. Is there any reason to choose this adapter over the MSXTTLY U2C-AIR 2.0 adapter (which works great for me so far; I just need CarPlay) except the slight price difference?

[nihadkazimli]

Which adapter is the best for me if my priority is quick responsivness and no-lag + decent gps and sound responsivness

[MrJKPowers]

Great review. Is there any you suggest that can easily switch between Android auto and carplay? Have been testing AAwireless, but I'm having issues geting it to connect with Carplay in my Subaru Ascent

[ptrk]

Great review and an amazing channel 👍🏽
Has the dongle have a reset button ?
Thanks

[royk]

Great review thanks! shame about no multi use (iOS) multi-user support. What would be your top pick for CarPlay with this feature?

[ONDRSHK]

Thanks for your awesome reviews of carplay/aa dongles. I would like to buy Ottocast MX but now I consider to buy Sunweyer but I have doubts about support from Sunweyer. I have Skoda Octavia 4 (2020) and with Carlinkit 4.0 was a year when they finally fix my issue with connection. Now I have call and music switch delay (about 10 seconds) which is super annoying. Also I have doubt about Sunweyer dongle size and cooling. What do you think?

[NabilNashar]

Mate thank you for this excellent review. Do you know if it still doesn’t support multi users? Both my wife and I have iPhones. And if not, can you recommend a similar form factor device that supports multiple users?

Mind you my vehicle already has wired applecar play and android auto. I’m just hoping to convert it to a wireless set up.

Great Test Anthony, THX! I‘ve bought this adapter because of your video and I‘m really lucky with it 😊 I‘m using the latest firmware with GPS path through. But how can I test if the car antenna is really used? My car is a Seat Leon ST 2013 but upgraded with MIB2 + GPS + 8“ Touch Screen. Pretty the same as your Golf think so.

[papalen]

I have a 2019 1.4ltr Corsa Griffin, which has both CaPlay and Android preloaded in its head unit. Do you happen to know if the Sunweyer would be compatible with this model of car, which is now 5yrs old and its impossible to update the firmware, which was installed by GM Vauxhall at the time it was manufactured.

[dimaggiodt]

Do you have a recommendation or comparison video for the best overall wirelss carplay adapter?

Either with or without AA. I only use iphones.

[LeandroOrtega-ei]

Hello, in the configuration menu, what does mode 1, mode 2, mode 3 and the predetermined in the Audio Stream section?

[chrisperrywv]

Is this your favorite CarPlay dongle of any size? I’ve been pretty happy with my carlinkit iii but found myself needing another for a new car.
My number one priority is solid CarPlay experience- Android auto is a plus for my spare phone but not strictly required. Small would be great but again not at the cost of the best experience.
And lastly what’s your current favorite AI box? 😊 I’m tempted…

[chris]

Much better review (thank you Anthony) -- I'll check this one out.
