CarlinKit Wired CarPlay Dongle&Android Auto for Car Radio with Android System Version 4.4.2 and Above, Connect Car's AutoKit App to get CarPlay,Install The AutoKit App in The Car System

Works well with my android deck installed on our 2017 Dodge Caravan.

There is a slight delay when it connects, but it works fine so far. If for some reason it were to stop working, the cost is minimal, and I would just order a replacement. I would recommend this to anyone who buys an aftermarket Android car stereo that does not come equipped with carplay.

I have an aftermarket android based car stereo that’s very basic. In less than 10 minutes, I was able to install the application on my radio this device and get full Apple Car Play to work. Now as soon as I connect the phone the radio switch’s to Apple car play. Loads quickly just like my more modern cars that came with Apple Car Play.

I regret purchasing the CarlinKit Wired CarPlay Dongle because it has been nothing but frustrating to use. Major Issues: ❌ Constant Disconnections – The connection drops every 5 to 10 minutes, making it completely unusable for navigation or music streaming. ❌ Frequent Restarts Needed – Every time it disconnects, I have to unplug and restart the dongle, which is incredibly annoying, especially while driving. ❌ Laggy & Unresponsive – When it does work, there is a noticeable delay in CarPlay and Android Auto, making it difficult to use voice commands or maps. ❌ Not Reliable for Driving – A device like this should be seamless and dependable, but instead, it’s a constant distraction and hassle. ❌ No Real Support – Tried reaching out for help, but customer support is unresponsive and offers no real solutions. ⭐ A Complete Waste of Money! If you need a reliable CarPlay or Android Auto connection, stay away from this product. The constant connection drops and restarts make it more of a headache than a convenience. Would NOT recommend! Look for a better alternative. 🚫

When I purchased my android radio I assumed it was equipped with android auto but it wasn't this is the best solution wired is always better than Bluetooth it works great
