Convert Any Wired Apple CarPlay System To Wireless!

Does your car support CarPlay? Do you hate pulling your phone out and fighting with a cable to plug it in? Hate replacing cables that wear out all the time? In this video I show how easy it is to install a wireless carplay adapter that makes CarPlay SO much more convenient and easy to use.

I’ve had this in my RS3 for a couple of months and LOVE IT!!

Great tutorial -- Fyi, that "website" is actually the IP address of the wireless device.

I did a video on this about a year ago and it's a great device. The only issue I've ever had with it is in the summer time when the interior car temp gets really hot. On those days it can get really laggy until it cools back down to a decent temp, then it works fine. Have you experienced this at all?

Awesome video thanks for sharing it’s very helpful 👍👍👍

Mine connects wireless but it sounds way better and louder when plugged in. Always wondered if you could get the same quality of sound wirelessly

My last car had the plug, and the new car is wireless. The new wireless is always connecting to the wrong phone, or refusing to connect to the right one. I wish I had the old fashioned switchboard simplicity of “this plug, this phone”. I’ll just play this video backwards, and then bingo! That’ll work, right?

will it work for a 2020 chevy silverado?

Looks like CarlinKit has released yet *another* version that claims to be even newer than the ones I tested in this video, and comes in a blue case. Hard to say if the new version actually has different hardware, or just upgraded firmware as in the case of the adapters I bought. Whichever version you buy, just make sure you upgrade the firmware for the latest fixes etc.

Can you update the device inside your home before you go out to your car to install?

[juustjoshin]

I heard that maybe in the latest firmware(s) you could tweak the delay to be as short as possible without having it stop working (e.g. 300ms). Is that true?

[ModsandHacks]

I heard that a Android auto module just came out. You should do a video for the wired to wireless Android auto conversion.

[miguelthemen]

Will this also work in the Ranger '19-'22?

[HanzoWorld]

How is it holding up so far? Any issues?

[vatsladubey]

Great video
Can you make phone calls?

[MrArob]

Amazing video, but I'm wondering since I have a lower version of a infotainment unit if this would work in my Tahoe🤔

[rajifusama]

i have this but since i use this device i cannot connect to my dashcam wifi anymore

[MichelleSyrek-Kingston]

Are you able to easily go back & forth from your cars other menu features & CarPlay?

[MaryOKC]

Another downfall is they get hot …and mine works then doesn’t then does and doesn’t…annoying.
