CarlinKit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter uk,2024 Upgrade Carplay Wireless Adapter for iPhone,Convert Wired CarPlay to Wireless CarPlay,Plug & Play Compatible with Cars from 2016 & iPhone iOS 10+

The media could not be loaded. I originally purchased a less well known adapter for my Mazda CX-30 based on the high Amazon ratings. It generally worked ok, but had some connection issues and was very cheap looking with a flimsy cable. I decided it was enough to return the item for a refund and set about ordering the CarlinKit 3.0 CPC200-U2W Plus wireless CarPlay adapter, which was on offer for an extra £5 and I’m so glad I did! It has excellent fit & finish in the carbon case with the telltale light which glows red or green depending on connection state. Initial setup and pairing is very simple and the adapter just feels all round high quality in terms of look, feel and when connected. I also really like the Autokit UI when the adapter fires up. It makes for a reliable established connection every time and has some configurable settings available as well. All of this makes up for the slightly slower connection speed, which varies for me between 20 and 26 seconds from ignition on. It really is a high quality piece of kit with excellent online support (FAQs) and customer service. The only slightly strange thing, when initially pairing the adapter with my phone, it showed up as VOLKSWAGEN E0B9. I wasn’t too concerned because it was cellophane wrapped in the manufacturer original packaging and I’d read on their FAQs about them using VW CarConnect as part of the QC. CarlinKit Customer support later confirmed this is normal.

This was pretty easy to install and worked straight away. All functions as wired option work. Quite pleased as it was much cheaper than an earlier model that didn’t work. I was also able to update the software immediately using instructions from the manual. Had it for a week now. Connects automatically as soon as I start the car. Really pleased with this little gadget. Hope it lasts

This worked perfectly for a couple of weeks (I understand the limitations of wireless AirPlay compared to those used to using it wired - even OEM versions of wireless CarPlay have the delay on controls), but then it would stop connecting to my iPhone for a day or two at a time - no matter how much unplugging the adapter, restarting my iPhone, restarting the infotainment or resetting the adapter would fix.I got a replacement device through Amazon returns, and again, worked perfectly for a couple of weeks but then the connection issues returned in just the same manner.I checked for updates and they were both up to date.

I experienced some initial teething issues where the device failed to connect to my phone, I'm happy to report that these have now been resolved with a firmware update. Since then, I've been really impressed with how quickly the auto-connect feature works, making it incredibly easy to get started with my phone and CarPlay. Additionally, being able to tweak some settings via my phone is a great little feature that adds to the overall convenience of this product. Overall, I would definitely recommend the CarlinKit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter to anyone looking for an easy and convenient way to integrate their phone into their car.

Absolutely did what I wanted and so easy to set up! Just plugged into the car USB port, connected my iPhone to it and immediately wireless Carplay came up on the screen. Took less than 2 minutes to sort it and everything works like when I used wired carplay. Resorted icons using the iPhone Carplay setting. Very impressed for the price.

I have a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5. It connects first time most of the time. However, after using google maps or a similar nav system for about 20 mins, the system starts to lag by up to 10 seconds which is frustrating when you’re trying to look for turnings and junctions. I tried their online suggestions for updating software and disables internal GPS with no fix. I reached out to their support but heard no reply. I’ll be returning the unit and going back to wired CarPlay.

Have used this product in my car and it is great!Before was a pain to keep plugging and unplugging phone in car. This relieves all of that.Automatically connects with iPhone or android. So much simpler and tidier.

Had to return as it kept on disconnecting or freezing when connected to my phone. Works fine when you start the car, takes a while to connect but midway through a journey it will randomly disconnect. Had to return it and I would stay away from it. Just use your cable
