If your car has both factory-wired Carplay and Android Auto, and you want to use wireless Android Auto, it is recommended you choose Carlinkit A2A or Carlinkit 5.0. The U2W Plus dongle is a wireless carplay adapter that allows you to use CarPlay in your car without any cords or cables. It's perfect for almost all wired CarPlay-enabled vehicles and receivers, which covers around 98% of all current models. If you have an iPhone and your car has a wired CarPlay system or an Aftermarket Head-Unit (such as Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc.), then the Carlinkit 3.0 is the right choice for you. For those who use both an iPhone and Android Phones, the Carlinkit 4.0 is the best option. It's the first wireless dongle of its kind, using both Bluetooth and WiFi to connect your device to your car. With the latest 4.0 update, the Carlinkit has set the market standard for stability, compatibility, and performance, making it the most reliable choice on the market. It seems relatively well-built too. Again, I don’t think it should have to survive too much abuse in this setting, but I don’t anticipate most will break the Carlinkit 4.0 by accident. Carlinkit 4.0 setup Your car model has a USB port, and the cable that comes with the dongle is equipped with a default USB-C to USB-A port.

If you enjoy using apps like Netflix or YouTube in your car, you deserved 👉 Tbox Plus( Full Android 13.0 System and 8+128G memory) or Tbox Mini(Full Android 11.0 System). Covering a wider range of functions, compatible with iPhone and Android smartphones. If you use Carplay and Android Auto in Aftermarket Android Head Unit, You can choose 👉 Carlinkit Autokit (CCPA) . It's specially made for Android head units, which is suitable for model system versions above Android 4.4+. Features: ✅ Convert Your Wired Carplay/ Android Auto to Wireless! Setting up the Carlinkit 4.0 is relatively simple, but you may run into a few bugs every now and then during the setup process, like I did. The instructions seem a little unclear as to the exact steps to take, and the translation doesn’t seem to have been done very well. I was able to set the device up, however, using the on-scren instructions that you’ll see if the device is connected to your car’s USB port.
