This USB adapter allows you to use both wired and wireless Carplay and wired and wireless Android Auto on Android devices. It requires the Autokit app installed. I'm using this with a UGODE PX3 Android 7.1 head unit in a 2011 BMW X5. I plugged it into a USB port on the Android head unit and downloaded and installed the Autokit app off the CarlinKit site. Initially I couldn't get wireless Android Auto working. The Bluetooth connection would keep disconnecting. It would keep trying over and over. It ended up being the firmware on the USB adapter wasn't up to date and the latest app didn't give me the option to update it. I downloaded a version of the app from a CarlinKit store site which I think was a slightly older version. This version let me update the firmware on the adapter and update the app itself to the latest version. After this, wireless Android Auto started working. The adapter and the app are working well now. Wired Carplay and wired Android Auto worked well from the beginning. It's pretty solid and stays connected to my phone. No skips or disconnects and navigating in Carplay and Android Auto is pretty responsive. When I start up the car in the mornings, the Autokit app automatically starts with the Android head unit and automatically connects to my phone and starts playing music. Sometimes the resolution is off with a black bar above the Autokit screen and I have to close and restart the Autokit app. I think this is a quirk of the Android head unit. I'll try to set a Tasker task to kill and restart the Autokit app when I get the chance. My actual Android head unit is set up with minimal data and email syncing and its main purpose is to display Carplay or Android Auto. I use my phone through Android Auto for all my needs while driving. There's an option to output audio through the headunit aux output or through Bluetooth. I think the Bluetooth option actually has little to no delay compared to the aux output. My phone connects to the CarlinKit adapter Bluetooth and the BMW OEM headunit Bluetooth and routes or bridges them. This works very well to bring wireless Carplay and Android Auto to my 2011 BMW. Also no wires means I can control charging of my phone to reduce heat.

El adaptador funciona bien, lo uso en un auto con sistema Android, que no tiene Apple CarPlay por cable, el apk se instala muy fácil, a veces hay ciertas interrupciones en la conexión, pero son mínimas, lo único “malo” es que a mí me llegó la caja del producto maltratada.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT. I’ll start by saying that I actually really enjoyed the functionality of this for my Jeep. However after a few months of having it I randomly connected my head-unit to wifi and updated the software. Big mistake. I let the unit try to update for hours and followed the instructions and it basically froze at some point and I was out of time and forced to shut it off. I tried multiple steps from their troubleshooting guides from the website and it didnt work. I tried to email support a couple of times and see if there was anything I could do to fix it but they didn’t even email me back. So I guess if you wanna place something thats about $60 after shipping in a semi hard to get to spot in your car only for it to break three months later go for it. Otherwise if it breaks it looks like theres nothing you can do so try to avoid the automatic updates I guess?
