CarPlay and Android Auto adapters

Wireless adapters are designed for cars that support wired CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. Plug the adapter into the USB or USB-C port you used for your phone, and the phone then talks to the car’s system over 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Navigation, music, calls and messages work just as they do with a cable.

CarPlay modules for Android multimedia car radios plug into the radio’s USB port and bring the CarPlay interface to its screen. They only work with radios that support the matching app, so check your radio type before buying. Thanks to OTA updates, the adapters stay compatible with new system versions, according to the manufacturer.

The wireless connection doesn’t charge your phone, so use a car charger or wireless charger on longer journeys. If the car has several USB ports, plug the adapter into the one that supports CarPlay or Android Auto. Set your destination before you set off and use voice control while driving.
