Brilliant
Reading some of the reviews was skeptical this would work. Thought I'd give it a go given its free returns. It is absolutely amazing. Used on a Citroen Dispatch mk3 van that only has apple car play. With this device I now have Android auto. Set up was so easy, looks great, not laggy like some of the reviews mention.Sure it will vary depending on the car / stereo but for me works perfectly.

Very odd
Followed instructions. Product lights up ready for connection but then turns red and off. If you use the cables, which detracts the reason for purchase, it still doesn't connectThis is sold as convertor of carplay for android auto, it isn't wireless or convertor?

Great little gadget
This was a Black Friday Amazon Warehouse return purchase so was dirt cheap. However, The USB A to C cable was missing which was critical, but luckily OH had a spare in his mancave stash. The person who’d previously returned it had a Nissan and were called Andy and James so we found when trying to hook it all up. Still awaiting Carlinkit response to my email as Amazon is not first port of call if any probs. Had a few hiccups as it wasn’t a first install for this warehouse return gadget but now it’s installed, works flawlessly upon car startup. Got a bargain but box did NOT include both wires as it should’ve done. Bit of a faffy install 2nd time around but solves my wiring issues for now, now it’s done.

It works....
I have a dual wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wired installation in a Mazda 3 (2015 - Mazda retrofit) and we have both Android and Apple phones. The wired connection worked perfectly with the Android phone, but was problematic on the iPhone and wanted a wireless solution to avoid swapping the cables around. I tried splitters, hubs and cable converters to find a workable alternative to swapping cables every time and nothing has worked so far.A bit expensive to be fair, but this does work perfectly out of the box to connect my iPhone to the Mazda wirelessly. Haven't tried the Android to see if that works wirelessly yet, but because the Carlinkit adapter uses USB-C I just need to plug the box in when driving to get reliable iPhone connection, and the Samsung Android can use the same USB-C cable if needed, it's not too important.There may be a cheaper solution out there, but there is definitely no cheap solution for this problem as far as I could find.

Works perfectly with apple carplay
Got it to work with CarPlay and android auto, have to say works great with CarPlay buy when it comes to Android it fails. It constantly drops out, glitches and freezes, even after a software update the android side won’t work properly.I have given it 3 stars for the CarPlay side of things which is good.

So easy to fit
I was a bit surprised how easy it was to set up, I have a Mazda CX30 and as soon as I plugged it in, the car did the rest, I was ready to go in about 45 seconds. I have checked out some of the apps on Carplay (iPhone 12) and they are all working fine, there is no lag on Carplay starting, within seconds of starting the car it activates. So far very pleased. I've given it five stars even though I haven't checked everything, I will edit my review if there are any glitches later on.

Could have been so good, but don't believe the hype!
The media could not be loaded. The Carlinkit 4 has a slick website, forums, and support channel. However, I like countless others have found it just does not work. It is overly complex to set up, in that you need to browse to a web page and “tailor” the config to your particular vehicle. The parameters include video resolution, video bit rate, dpi, frame per second. I spent hours trying various permutations of these settings, based on suggestions in the forums and from their customer support, all to no avail. I additionally tried 4 different revisions of firmware.What was really frustrating was the fact they make out that accessing the config web page is simple once connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot, it is not. I had to disable Bluetooth on my phone and use a different browser, “Brave” to be able to connect to the web interface. I simply could not get it to work with Chrome on my Pixel phone, even in Incognito mode. All I ever got was a blank screen once the device had booted and was supposedly running Android Auto.My car, an Audi Q5 is only 4 years old, and they claim it is supported on the site. But I don't think the product has been developed or tested well. The only reason I gave it 2 stars, is because the response from the support team was very good and usually within a few hours. They eventually advised me to send it back, suggesting that it does not work with an Audi Q5.I bought a Nolansend Wireless CarPlay Android Auto Adapter instead, which was not only cheaper, but worked first time once I connected to its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hotpots.

Still not working
What can I say, it just doesn't work. I installed it as described, but I am just getting sound and no screen on my car. My car has all the spec requirements as does my phone. After submitting a number of queries I was told I need to get a loan of an iphone to test further (I only use Android), purchase an additional 32gb memory card and then use a laptop to retrieve an update to the product that I need to install. Having followed all the steps by the support team, I am now told I've to wait 5 days until their team reviews and see if they can send me on the update. I've also been send links to Google drive docs that are either unretrievable or severely compromised files from an information security stand point. €165 for a small box that connects the sound from my phone to my car........... Money not well spent and still waiting on a solution.
