Fastest Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Adapters 2023 MSXTTLY Dongle Review

These adapters are both near identical on the outside as well as the accessories that come with them. They are smaller, USB drive-size adapters with the ability to directly plug them in and they also come with various USB cable extensions. They simply offer a wireless connection to either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

I was pleasantly surprised with how both of these dongles performed. I like their simple plug-in size and form factor, which just fits in my VW Golf CarPlay USB port, and there are plenty of extension cables that come bundled if you encounter problems fitting the adapter directly into the car’s USB port.

Performance was fast, if not the fastest to boot into CarPlay, I’ve not had many Android Auto-only wireless adapters, so I don’t have many to compare here. It wasn’t as fast as the TNVTEC A06 Android Auto adapter I’ve reviewed on this channel, but it was 1 second faster than the CarlinKit 5.0 in Android Auto mode.

So if speed is important, this is the adapter to beat right now. Sadly it doesn’t do both platforms in one adapter, so you would have to buy two and plug them in each time you switch platforms. But if you’re only using one platform in the car, then with its price point, performance and stability all factored in, this little adapter from MSXTTLY comes well recommended, and for now, will be my go-to wireless adapter in my car.

Great video, I am very interested, but I cannot find any confirmation online that it will work with my 2023/2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge. From factory it has Android Automotive, and Apple CarPlay as an App, that only works with a cable connection. Do you think it will work?

Hi Anthony, super helpful, so thank you.

As 3 months have gone by, is this still your go-to adaptor when only using one platform in the car?

Thanks,
Ryan

Thank you for Great video.
I have Peugeot 208 2016. it has CarPlay and Mirrorlink but unfortunately Mirrorlink is no longer supported
so i only have CarPlay and my Phone is Android .
so I am looking for an Android car adapter.
Do you think MSXTTLY will work?

[nathanerickson]

Thanks for this review! Did you look into if it supports multiple users/devices?

[StudioShop]

Hi there. thanks for the review. if I may ask. is the lag time in a phone call annoying or or not noticeable? thanks.

[brokegaming]

Im looking at this for mk7 golf also . Can you close the cover or does it stop cause the dongle in the way

[GraysonA]

I wish they would make a combo one. I use Android Auto and my wife uses Apple Carplay

Hi, your videos are great, but your latest “best 5 carplay wireless adapter” is 1 years old.

I need a carplay/android auto wireless adapter and i’m searching the best (without considering the price) that has a lowest connection time and the lowest input lag with the touch and the media (considering too the input lag of the buttons on the steering wheel).

Basically i’m searching the fastest and the smoothest carplay adapter.

I saw many videos of the carlinkit 5.0 2air (that you have reviewed) that from aliexpress i can get it for 40 euro, it looks that works pretty fine, but there are better alternatives?

Thanks for the help

Hey Antony, do you know if this dongle is compatible with 2013 Chevrolet cars? If not, can you recommend one that is? Thanks for all your content!

[stevenmarven]

What charging dock do u use as id install in if i buy wireless android

[olaogunjebe]

Hello mate, Thanks for the informative videos, Just a quick question. Will all these work if my 2017 BMW doesnt have apple carplay. I bought the CPC200-Tbox, but upon connecting to my NBT-Evo Wide screen. The blue light flashes, but nothing shows on the screen

[Barzaqua]

Hello, I have this adapter on my Citroën C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross, however I have to press the Android auto button 2-3 times before it launches otherwise I have an error... do you have another adapter to recommend to me like maybe carlinkit 5.0?

[SeriousMonster]

I need one for apple that I can switch between drivers, my wife and I both drive the truck and the Ottocast one that I have does not let you switch between phones, we have to repair each time we change drivers

[darins]

just boughht a toyota camry hybrid 2020 with wired car play. my wife and i both have iphones and share a car often together so need to switch between phones. which is best on market now?

[Dallamoney]

Thanks for the video, will the carplay adapter allow for 2 phone connections?

[umcvvhi]

My Experience with AAwireless is that it works when it works, and when it bricks AFTER one of their updates they tell you too bad...

[mubarakpatel]

Hi. Have you got another UK link for this?

[grahamsmith]

Hi, if you have this set up in your car with the radio on, and you receive a phone call, does it go back to radio automatically after the call is finished?

[JackDaniels]

I bought MSXTTLY CarPlay adapter conect to my Sony aftermarket radio everything working except phones call do you know how to fix this issue

[mishra]

Please let me know which one you will suggest me to use. MSXTTLY or Carlinkit 5.0 for android Auto. I want a faster connection and lag free stability.
