Hello,

Has anyone installed an adapter for wireless carplay? Examples below:
Carlinkit
Ottocast

I like the idea of it but not sure if they work well with the vehicle and/or the iPhone 13 Pro I have.

TIA!

I've been using the Carlinkit for a few weeks now in my 2022 Tucson Hybrid with an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Pretty happy with it. It connects flawlessly most times (just takes a few seconds to connect). Tucks away to be nearly hidden. Occasionally, it seems to have some trouble connecting but eventually connects within 30 seconds to a minute. Haven't figured out the cause, but it's not often enough it's a problem. I do find there's about a 1-second lag when skipping a song from the steering wheel. And if you do something like watch a video on your phone with audio running through the car speakers, the audio lag is enough to make it pretty much unwatchable. But overall, despite the little lag/glitches, I'm happy. It's so nice to just set my phone on the charging pad with no cable clutter and go.

Hi @ConejoLoco
Thanks for the info. Did you have trouble connecting to it? I’m having some trouble. Are you able to give me the firmware number? Any advice on steps you performed to set it up would be helpful!

thanks!

I would rather pay $99 at the official website store because I have had bad experiences at Amazon.
Three months ago I went to Amazon to buy an adapter, it runs very well, but suddenly one day, it can't connect with my car, I send an email (which was written on the product page) to ask for help, But I find that the email was the official website store. I can't get the corresponding after-sales help because I don't have the order number from the official website, so I will return my adapter to Amazon. I have purchased one on the official website, I have to say that the official website's after-service is so nice. If you encounter problems in use, they will give you a corresponding solution, and they reply very fast (of course, the premise is that you are their customers😂)

This is the one I have used for a couple of years now:

Add Wireless CarPlay to Limited (Navigation)

Ok, not sure if this has been discussed. But it seems that pepole treat the lack of wireless CarPlay as an absolute. Even going as far as choosing a lower trim level and foregoing other features that they really want to get this. Seems silly, a little searching on the inter-webs will reveal...
