Carlinkit Mini SE Pro Wireless Adapter for OEM Wired CarPlay & OEM Wired Android Auto,Compatible with iOS 10 & Android 10 and Above, Fast Connection, No Latency - Deep Blue

The carlinkit wireless carplay adapter is so worth it if you don't have built in carplay! Took me about 45 seconds to connect to bluetooth & setup. It works better than attaching a thunderbolt cable to the usb port in your car. I actually think the response time is better too. My 2020 tacoma & I are so thankful. Design is the size of a standard flashdrive. Ease to use. Glad with my purchase. Response time was also great, no lag or delay.

This fixed the issue where my iPhone 17 Pro stopped working with my 2018 F-150 after upgrading. It connects quickly and works great. I’ve noticed a slight lag when switching between Apple CarPlay and the native radio though. It can take a minute or so to get back to Apple CarPlay and has caused me to miss calls. Kept it at 5 stars due to not knowing if this was my truck issue or device issue.

I wanted to test this system of wireless car play since I got a new dashboard camera in my car. It uses WiFi so it will affect your dash cam. Luckily for me, my new dash cam does not need to be connected to the WiFi app in order to record but it does need to be connected if I need to download footage. The product was easy to install. The QR code to installation does not work but it is easy to figured out. I was not able to connected to my Apple play connector in my car because it is located inside the center console, so I plugged it on the rear passenger seat lighter connector with a USB adapter. Works well, however, it does takes one second to skip from song to song and mutes for about half a second while song is playing once in a while. Regardless, it is convenient to use if you’re in/out of your car. Connects quickly but you have to press “connect again” on your screen every time.

Item worked for a week but I noticed it was getting very hot when in use. After a week it just stopped working.

So far so good. When I got this product I set it up and everything worked properly. Its easy to connect, fast and responsive. No issues with the operation. My only gripe would be the physical product build, the stick is very similar to the shape and size of a old fashion "stick of gum". It sticks out about 3 inches from the usb port. I only find this as an issue since the location is inside my cup holder/ wireless phone charger compartment. Its a small rectangular box area and the way the device sticks out makes it vulnerable to being broken and limits other things from sitting in the compartment. I plan to get a usb cord extender at some point to be able to place it out of the way. Just wanna share my experience.

It connects near automatically, but there is an audio delay if you were to watch a video with it. I’ve also had a couple times where it just randomly disconnects or has audio issues. Bought two of them one has a high-pitched noise when I’m calling somebody that goes away when the person answers.

Quality and ease of use.

I heard about this on a podcast and tried it out. I went for the mini that’s a bit cheaper than the regular CarPlay adapter. I have a 2017 Mercedes E300. It has CarPlay but not wireless. I just plugged the dongle into the USB-A CarPlay port, followed the instructions and it appears on the console. It generally works well. Every once in a while it might glitch and you’ll have to wait a few seconds for it to do the pairing, but generally works great. I am very happy with it.
