OTTOCAST Wireless CarPlay Adapter for iPhone - 2025 Upgrade Wired to Wireless Apple Carplay Dongle - 5GHz WiFi, Low Latency, Plug & Play, Online Update

I installed this last month in a Honda Passport 2024. Install was simple (pair device to bluetooth on phone). I find after a few seconds after starting the car the CarPlay connects seamlessly. I had a few connection hiccups but realized it was a lose connection of the Honda USB port to the cable connecting the device to the car. If you are going to use this, be sure you can place it somewhere where the cable will not get hit (i.e. don't try to throw car fobs or sunglasses on top of it ... it might jar the device). Even if you do jar it ... the connection always seems to come back. Overall very pleased. No lag that I can see ... use it for music and navigation.

I just love that I got a post sale but pre delivery message from this company. I did not, however, love that it introduced me to the company by telling me that 99% of customers don't read instructions in a completely disrespectful manner. It just set the wrong tone for me and I was naturally less receptive to working through any difficulties that I might have had with the product since it had already been implied that it would have been my fault since I was likely one of those people who would not have read the directions.Of course, the product installed easily enough, even without having read the directions but I notice a little lag when selecting an on screen icon or CarPlay option that I don't experience with wired CarPlay. I understand that this might be the price of using it wirelessly but for the price they are charging for this device, it is not worth it to me and the experience that I've had with customer service make me not willing to try and troubleshoot the problem. It is preferable to me to purchase one from a different manufacturer and start over again. I recommend the same.

This is exactly what I needed. It connects to my phone so fast and I love it. And it works in any vehicle that’s on the list. Thanks again

I did weeks of research before settling on this item over others that claim to be better or similar items that varied on prices from $55 to $115+Pros: I’ve had it for maybe a week. It paired and connected right away as advertised. It connects pretty fast. I can use my Waze or other gps apps with no issue. That’s the main reason I got it. I travel a lot and don’t like over charging my phone to use Apple CarPlay. So it works great for that.It also works well with Spotify, Music and SoundCloud. Youtube is ok as well but I’ll go over the cons with this below.Con’s: YouTube is fine, but there will be maybe a few second delay with the audio and video. Not a deal breaker since you should be driving anyway and not focusing as much on the video.Like wired CarPlay, this also disconnects and glitches out once in a blue. A few times I couldn’t hear audio from music apps. That’s the annoying part especially while driving.Troubleshooting: Sometimes it takes a bit to connect. Sometimes unplugging and plugging back in does the trick. Other times restarting the car or disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth button on the phone will get it to work. It normally is fine for a few days before it glitches.Final Thoughts: I’d say it’s worth it especially if you get it for in the $60’s or less. I’m happy with it. You get the same disconnect issues with a cord, but at the end of the day, there’s no cord. No over charging and dealing with faulty cables. You only need a cable if you want to fast charge the phone in the car and unplug when you’re done without losing CarPlay features. If you have a wireless charger, you still have that. I doubt any of the more expensive versions do much better than this for the price. I wouldn’t pay over $70 for this but it’s definitely a good tool and I’m overall pleased. Would definitely recommend.I give it 4/5 stars bc it works well enough for me with the price and once you’ve gotten troubleshooting down, it’s not that big of a deal when you get the glitches or disconnects.

I bought this because my Mazda CX5 while being a nice vehicle only has wired Apple CarPlay. I had to dig my phone out, connect it up, then switch over to it. It wasn't difficult, just a hassle. I received my OTTOCAST carplay adapter today and it literally took a matter of a minute to set it up. It could not have been easier. Now that it is, it connects seconds after starting the car. The audio quality is perfect, as is the functionality of the CarPlay. Other than plugging it in and pairing it with the phone, there is no setup. Not only that but it is tiny. I have mine inside my center console, so it's completely hidden. Bottom line, I could not be more pleased. It's a great product.

2024 KiA TellurideHad the product for a little over a year, worked fine for the first year.Now having issues with dropping connection (randomly drops and sometimes reconnects), SIRI integration not working properly, and slow startup. Used to work great prior.Going to try another brand and see how that performs.
