OTTOCAST Mini Tube 2026 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter, Ultra-Fast Auto Reconnect,WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.4,Mini Plug & Play Dongle for Cars with Wired CarPlay

So so easy! Works like a charm. A brilliant piece of tech!
I’m honestly so thrilled with this tiny adapter! I drive a 2018 Audi Q5 and it has wired Carplay that cuts out all the time! I’ve spooked to a dealership and googled how to make it work properly. I was told that I need to purchase Apple brand cords because they are certified MMI (multimedia interface) cables and will maintain the connection, but even those didn’t work and it kept cutting off in the middle of a connection. I had software updated and even reloaded, but it would cut off over and reconnect constantly! I saw this adaptor and decided to give it a try. Within about 10 seconds of plugging it in, the screen in my car prompted me to pair it with my phone! I did and VIOLA! it connected to Carplay seemlessly! It works perfectly! Connects immediately and has not cut out once since it been put in! The screen reads beautifully with a clear picture. All the apps on my phone show up on the car screen. Everything works as it should! It simply pkugh into the usb port. It also comes with an additional usb-c connector in case you have a usb-c port. It has a booklet of directions but I didn’t even need to open that! it’s small, about the size of a twist off bottle cap! I can tell it’s well made. This is a great quality product! I don’t have a cord hanging in my car now and I’m truly hands free while driving. You might think it’s a bit pricy but for this kind of good quality technology, I’m telling you it’s a great deal! My daily frustrations are gone! I don’t even think about connecting my phone when I get in my car now. it’s all automatic. I don’t even need to take my phone out of my bag! My car becomes my phone as soon as I turn the car on! This is a brilliant piece of tech!

Great, low profile, wireless CarPlay adapter
I have a car that has wired CarPlay but no wireless so I’ve been using a wireless adapter for a number of years. What I’ve found most important is that it reliably connects with your phone, it is low profile so a usb device isn’t awkwardly sticking out, and it’s from a reputable brand where there is less concern about data theft. This device fits all of these as good or better than my others.First of all, Ottocast is a well known, established brand so I trust them and expect their device to work reliably. This device has not let me down in those regards.Second, the whole reason I was looking to upgrade to a new device is the lower profile. I started out with one that was a box that attached view wire and awkwardly took up dash space. I replaced that either a USB key type model but it stuck out from the plug in a way that it was frequently getting bumped. Not only did that cause disconnects but it had me concerned about the usb port on my car inevitably breaking from this stress.This model solves that by fitting against the usb port making it much less susceptible to accidentally bumps. It also looks sleeker as a bonus.I was considered with it being too large and blocking the neighboring USB port, but it fits great and allows easy access.Overall, I’m very happy with this device!

Petite little device works well in my 2015 beetle!
This device is a lot smaller than I expected. It is about 1″ diameter. That is a positive in my eyes because it’s not a big clunky device hanging out on my dash. My car has wire carplay but not wireless. I was able to plug this into my radio and it was easy to pair with my phone and start working. Came with instructions to help you pair your device. My device is an iphone 14 pro max. I have seen other devices on the market for the same price or less however I dont feel like this is a bad value. Its small and easy to remove and plug into other cars – thinking rentals. I travel a lot for work and plan to test this on rental cars that dont have wireless carplay. It’ll be in my travel bag! Held a stable stream without interuption.
