The video starts at 4:48 for those wanting to skip the excessively long intro. (TLDR Yes, it works, but it might not in the future as its not officially supported.)
Dude how does this video NOT have any of the setup, the possible lag, or even anything worth the time. You chatted about it but it truly did not help me.
@@davidcoylejr.3967 Both....like ALL CarPlay. Pairs over Bluetooth, then everything after that is Wi-Fi. Which is why you get less lag and better audio quality than streaming over Bluetooth.
That's because he is getting paid by the company and if he actually showed how to use it nobody would buy it due to it being crap. Think about he has about 20-30 secs of him using it
Ok. You had me interested. My biggest regret with the Audi Q5 2019 was not having wireless CarPlay. I ordered this 10 days ago. It arrived with nice packaging. I installed it with the 2 simple steps and... It works as described! So easy to setup. It’s absolutely brilliant. Note: I’m on iOS 14 beta and had no issues. Thanks a million!
This is the most dragged review I’ve ever watched. And I watch a ton. Some advice for next time. Stick to the point when talking about a specific product dude.
I'm eagerly awaiting someone to do this for Android Auto. I'm going to get this for friends who ride in my car who have iPhone's, but I want something like this for myself.
I bought this and while it does work, after about 8 minutes of audio playing it fades into static. It never recovers. Support tells me to wait for the next software update. We will see. Also, you cannot be connected to any other network (WiFi or Bluetooth) when you get into your car or it will not connect to your car. This is a bit of an inconvenience if your home WiFi extends to your driveway like mine does. It will result in longer startup time if you don’t disconnect from everything before you get into your vehicle.
Glad you were able to bring this opportunity to us.... But I personally think that paying $160 for this wireless device is way out of line....especially if "as you put it....Apple could brick (block) this device with a software upgrade. And then you are just out the money. So I am not willing to make that gamble.....until the price comes down to say max $50.
What if your vehicle is a 2014 Silverado? A little too early for car play. Do I have to have car play first in my infotainment center before using this dongle? Or will it do car play if I don’t already have it?
I Have 2015 Tiguan Volkswagen and it connect only for Bluetooth but apps from my iPhone 11 will not able to connect , so may I ask if this wireless carplay c2play can work on my 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan? Thank you and have a nice day...😊😊😊
does the car already need to have car play? and this device just supplies the connection? my head unit in my 2018 nissan qashquai does not have car play in the unit , so will this create a car play scenario? thanks from australia.
I have this adapter and LOVE it. Works great with my 2020 Honda CRV!! Great software support. I have gotten an update every week I’ve owned it. So easy and quick to install.They know they have to support it. Everything works perfectly. Part of what you’re paying for are all the software updates.
pam oakes good to hear. I have a civic (which is obviously the same head unit) so this makes me confident it would work in my car as well. Have you tried it with phone calls? A lot of the comments in here are talking about a big delay, wondering if it’s maybe specific to certain systems.
George K no delays with phone calls or maps for that matter. There is a second or two delay when changing music tracks. It’s nothing crazy and it feels normal now. I understand that BMWs wireless CarPlay is the same so there’s nothing wrong here. Just the diff between wired and wireless.
I currently use apple carplay in my car with USB cable, if I buy this gadget, would I manage to use it without the cable? My car is a Chevrolet Cruze 2018.
I know this is an expensive product, i think i paid around $150 for mine, but if apple released their own licensed version of this product I’d be totally cool paying $200 for one that i dont have to worry about being bricked in the future. My car is a 2017 with wired apple CarPlay and i usually have no problem with just plugging my phone in for it, but when my girlfriend uses my car and leaves her phone in her purse, this thing is perfect. Also makes it much easier for people in the back seat to use my connected phone for adding to the road trip playlist and just more convenient overall.
just some minced garlic I recommend trying to get a Bluetooth transmitter that you can find on bestbuy Amazon etc so what that does is basically puts a wireless signal out instead of connecting it to a phone charging cable you can find a Bluetooth transmitter online for around under $20 and the car2play adapter is basically just a Bluetooth receiver with an end that you can plug in wired if you wanted to and. And if you want to have wireless CarPlay I think you can just plug it in to a usb port to a head unit that supports Apple CarPlay and connect though the the Bluetooth transmitter like car2play
I assume this only works if your vehicle comes with Apple car play from the factory? I have an older vehicle with an aftermarket Alpine head unit that must be wired to my iPhone...so I guess folks like me are SOL.
It’s not Apple‘s fault that wireless CarPlay doesn’t exist largely. It’s entirely up to the automobile manufacturer to make that possible. iPhones already support that natively and have for some time
absolutely agreed. it's a great opportunity to sell another fairly overpriced accessory - this time one I'd actually be willing to buy Apple's version of.
I have one and I love it, since I have a wireless charging pad in my car make no sense plugging in the phone every time, now I just keep it in my pocket, because iPhone Pro is equipped with such a nice battery and if I need a charge just place it on the pad 👍🏼👍🏼
Works with the Honda Civic but not the Accord? Also it is way too much for something that might not work in the future. Never had any issues with using the lightning cable since my phone holder uses the cup holder. Wiring is never in my way. Not worth getting in my opinion.
Does it disconnect from CarPlay once you leave the car? Even though you stay near the car? That’s important for me as I use a headset when not inside the car. When the CarPlay stays connected when I am near the car I have to switch phone calls to the headset by hand which sucks.
Doesn’t seem to support anything older then a 2015...by then they come with wireless charging (if you get that through the package deal). Also, it says it must come with factory CarPlay? Meaning the aftermarket system I put in will not work even though it’s just seems like a plug and play device...:/
Looks good but when I looked at the price, wow! Is it worth that price to cut the cord and how safe is it to be wireless compared to being connected with the cord?
How’s the sound quality of music when using this wireless CarPlay? Also, can the automaker or Apple make their stock CarPlay wireless by a system update or is it a complete hardware replacement?
Can someone please help me install it in my 2018 Ford Escape which already has Carplay? I cannot get it to work. When I plug the dongle in, nothing shows on my car screen.
Still waiting for something to add CarPlay to a unit that doesn’t come with CarPlay from the factory. Bc I emailed that company and they said CarPlay needs to be factory installed for it to work.....
Me: * clicks on video* Ads: NOO WAIT Ads again: look at this apple CarPlay Bluetooth device wireless Me: wow.. I don’t even need to watch the video! I can buy the product right away!
Just received it. Works great but it does not connect via BT, it connects via WIFI, even tho you setup via Bluetooth. It knocked out my Verizon HUM WIFI ODB of which I have unlimited data. Now I'm back on LTE data with this. Company support is very good.
So did you get the Cplay2air off of their website or off amazon? I don’t see an amazon link for that one and would prefer to buy the one you reviewed so I know it works well
AppleInsider I bought this, and when I plug it in to my car’s USB port (where the lightning cable would normally go to use factory wired CarPlay) I see a red led light turn on on the side of the unit, but nothing comes up in my iPhone’s Bluetooth settings to connect to it and set it up. And I can’t update the unit without connecting to it first as far as I’m aware. Do you have any suggestions of what I should do next? I have an 11 Pro Max running iOS 13.3.1.
I have one and it does work, but it has disconnected while driving and if you try to move the maps screen around your music can start getting glitchy. Last others that I am talking on the phone with complain that I sound like I am on an old Bluetooth device.
I have this and it is perfect. Works on my 2018 Audi perfectly and even on the aftermarket radio I put in my 2006 daily driver Audi. The only issue I’ve had is in the aftermarket radio if I shift into reverse and trigger the backup camera feature it can cause the paring to stumble a bit.
S. Jaymes it doesn’t stock, but a few years ago I replaced the factory unit with a JVC touchscreen unit that supports CarPlay. One of the best decisions I’ve made with that car.
Is the usb connection just for power, or is the device accessing your system via the usb? Does the c2air use the Audi’s built in microphone and sound system?
Kevin Izard it accesses the system, it mimics the phone being plugged in and does everything the phone would do including using the sound system and microphone. In the 2018 as long as it’s plugged in the car thinks the phone is in so every time I get out it says “your phone is still in the car”
I tried it and it still doesn’t work with my Mazda CX 9 it works about 10% They keep telling me they’re going to fix it through software but it never happens I said I could return it but it’s a 25% restocking fee even if they sent me a new one
That’s why you use a credit card. Then you tell them they are refunding 100% of the purchase or else you’ll report it to your card issuer and get your money back, at which point the card issuer takes it back from them. Credit cards have all kinds of protections for reasons like this.
I bought this and ended up selling it. I got tired of the hiccups. Taking too long for the device to engage and sometimes getting just a black screen. I did everything that the manufacturer recommended. And still had problems. When it did work, it was fine. I went back to wired
I DIY'd my wireless carplay by hiding away an old iphone plugged into the usb port and setup with my icloud so when its not connected to wifi it automatically starts my hotspot on my current phone and any call text comes through and maps and spotify work like i got my main phone plugged in.
It works but Wast of time if you have in car wifi it connects by bluetooth then shifts over to wifi. So if you turn wireless car pay on your phone is a brick as you cant have both on wifi on CarPlay and use other apps unless you want to use phone data. Like maps and downloading music. Now if could stay connected over bluetooth you would have something.
Carlinkit do USB dongles that have software and driver updates for the hardware I’m guessing with some more frequently. another way of having CarPlay in your car would be if for example you still have a CD player in your car but you have an android tablet if you pick up a CD player mount for your Android tablet that’s up to about 11 inches Connect it to the dongle via a USB C to USB A adapter you can also get CarPlay to work that way.
Where is the part where you mention that your car headunit needs to support carplay in the first place??? He said old car and he has a 2019 Jeep... :facepalm:
Honestly didn't have that great of an experience with Carplay2air but got a different one through bluetoothcarplay.com Ive had it about a week and honestly have no issues so far, their customer service team was great and responds quite quickly as well
anthony licko when you visit the carplay2air.com website there’s a dongle for Android based system, which is the one I purchase because I have a android head unit with wired CarPlay in my civic.
Eldon I ordered from these guys on Jan 21. Got tracking the next day. Left China on Jan 23 and on Feb 1 STILL NO ARRIVAL in the USA. No response from their customer service group either. No tracking updates for over a week. How are you tracking? Let us know how yours was shipped and total time in transit. Thanks!
Update for everyone. This company customer service sucks ass tbh, and you’ll have to wait between 15-25 days after purchasing before the dongle arrives, so keep that in mind. Sorry for the late response but the dongle literally arrived Feb 21, 2020, order date was Jan 28, 2020. The wireless CarPlay feature is working for my aftermarket head unit by “Seicane” but there’s about a 2 seconds lag whenever you change music which is annoying to me, with that being said I’m still using the dongle with my iPhone cable until a Software update fixes the latency.
The video starts at 4:48 for those wanting to skip the excessively long intro. (TLDR Yes, it works, but it might not in the future as its not officially supported.)
Mr. Nizzo Thank you!
thanks so much I am fast forward to that number
You the real MVP!
Mr. Nizzo truth!!
Mr. Nizzo I appreciate that fam! Biggest reason why I don’t last through RUclips videos lol

Glad you mentioned the beta. About to pull the trigger and this makes me confident about the future
I have a GLC coupe 2017 and it has no CarPlay installed .
Please if I get this , will it work .
This video could of been 2 minutes but you REALLY stretched it out by talking but not actually saying anything!
spike17spiegel this is a study of how to get the most minuts out of youtube 😉
This is the most dragged review I’ve ever watched. And I watch a ton. Some advice for next time. Stick to the point when talking about a specific product dude.
No one listens to the advice of people in the comments who aren't on their level or better.

Hi.
If the device compatible with Toyota Corolla 2017 ?
Thanks for answer
This is the kind of video you’d want to watch at 2x

Alfred Sarkodie thanks for sharing 🥱
Alfred Sarkodie If your going to sell get to the crucial points. Your viewers will thank you. We all have the attention span of a gold fish
This works great! I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado with CarPlay and I have never had any issues with this adapter.
Doug Greek hahahahh
Do you have the exact same model in the video, or a different brand?

just some minced garlic I also doubt apple will brick one but the product is not from Apple or license by apple
So, without this device not possible to connect iPhone to car by cable or wirelessly?
But if my car don’t have Apple car play installed still it will work ? And I can get Apple car play or android auto in my car ?
Does the car have to support CarPlay already to use this?
I assume this only works if your vehicle comes with Apple car play from the factory? I have an older vehicle with an aftermarket Alpine head unit that must be wired to my iPhone...so I guess folks like me are SOL.
Does this work with a aftermarket head unit?
Apple should have been making these in the first place. They’re all about creating a wireless world.
It’s not Apple‘s fault that wireless CarPlay doesn’t exist largely. It’s entirely up to the automobile manufacturer to make that possible. iPhones already support that natively and have for some time
absolutely agreed. it's a great opportunity to sell another fairly overpriced accessory - this time one I'd actually be willing to buy Apple's version of.
Trust me, they will sell it in near future. I think u heard about portless iPhone yet ;)
@@hentkent Oh I have. I just don't believe it yet. Real-world, I don't think it's realistic. At least not yet. Maybe in 5 years...
It's for both Andoid auto and Car play. Not just for apple car play. Android auto seems to work much better with wireless (tested with Galaxy S20)
So if our car doesn’t support apple car play we can get it with that?
Does it charge the phone to?
I got an ad for this before the video started
I have one and I love it, since I have a wireless charging pad in my car make no sense plugging in the phone every time, now I just keep it in my pocket, because iPhone Pro is equipped with such a nice battery and if I need a charge just place it on the pad 👍🏼👍🏼
Mykolas Brūzgys still works?
Yea how are you liking it?
Works with the Honda Civic but not the Accord? Also it is way too much for something that might not work in the future. Never had any issues with using the lightning cable since my phone holder uses the cup holder. Wiring is never in my way. Not worth getting in my opinion.
Does it allow playing if video (eg RUclips etc) while in motion for passengers to watch?
Does it connect over Bluetooth?
Does this work for every car?
Does the car have to have CarPlay already?
I thought you said for cheap, I wasn’t expecting 130 dollars
V3c70r I have the same thought as you lol
But as for car, it’s cheap... BUT I won’t get it.
For Apple Car play only... Android auto version is much cheaper.. Typical tactics for Apple - ripping people off
It’s $70 on Amazon and AliExpress
@@3811eric Except that this company has nothing to do with Apple and Apple doesn't influence their pricing at all...?
Estrading Co Apple didn’t make this product or have anything to do with its price

Can my car fit it ?

With Ford’s sync 4 being rolled out hopefully I won’t have the use for a dongle when I get my new car later this year
Guys my car does not have carplay, if i buy this, will this gonna work?
Hi, what's your gear to shot the video? looks great!
I just got an ad for one of these dongles at the beginning of this video.
I did a review on two of these devices and they didn’t work acceptably in 4 GM cars and crashed the nav system in a Miata.
Looks good but when I looked at the price, wow! Is it worth that price to cut the cord and how safe is it to be wireless compared to being connected with the cord?
$80 isn’t too bad on price and I don’t think there is any safety difference here. You can even keep the phone in your pocket.
AppleInsider the website says it’s $160 for factory systems.
Already out of stock
2015 Yukon with the large touchscreen that currently does not have CarPlay in the head unit does this work and add CarPlay to your stereo???
Does this present any security concerns of being a middle man device that could skim data or unknowingly authorized access in the background?
yeah look out for all those sketchy people in your car stealing your data, your family may be spys
Thanks for the content. It was rambling, though, and didn’t seem to say much about the product.
In local Pakistani market available just Pak Rupees 2,500/= rounded US$ 15/=
Does it also support screen mirroring?
my car doesn’t have carplay, if you i got this can I get it ?
No, its just a repeater, so your head unit must be CarPlay ready.
Tried clicking the link to buy. My internet security blocked the domain saying it was a scam meant to hack the computer. Not sure this ad is legit
Does it work with Android phones?
Will this dongle works if my phone is connected to a pocket wifi?
How’s the sound quality of music when using this wireless CarPlay? Also, can the automaker or Apple make their stock CarPlay wireless by a system update or is it a complete hardware replacement?
A day later and the promo code for advertised Defense Duo STILL does not work. Anybody paying attention?
What about the cars who don’t have USB ports built in?
Can someone please help me install it in my 2018 Ford Escape which already has Carplay? I cannot get it to work. When I plug the dongle in, nothing shows on my car screen.
Where are the links for all the other products you said were comparable to the item reviewed?
Still waiting for something to add CarPlay to a unit that doesn’t come with CarPlay from the factory. Bc I emailed that company and they said CarPlay needs to be factory installed for it to work.....
Is there a alternative device for Android Auto? Would like to connect my phone using Android Auto wirelessly
Do you know how to get CarPlay in a 2017 Jeep that doesn’t have it?
Me: * clicks on video*
Ads: NOO WAIT
Ads again: look at this apple CarPlay Bluetooth device wireless
Me: wow.. I don’t even need to watch the video! I can buy the product right away!
So if you have a wired CarPlay already it would make it wireless?
Joseph Aumick basically yeah
Is there any similar solution for android auto ??
Would love an update.
Do you have anything that will work in Android auto
Just received it. Works great but it does not connect via BT, it connects via WIFI, even tho you setup via Bluetooth. It knocked out my Verizon HUM WIFI ODB of which I have unlimited data. Now I'm back on LTE data with this. Company support is very good.
Does it still work?
I doubt Apple could brick it because that could potentially brick CarPlay support on older vehicle models and it’s just not worth it for that
Does anyone have any idea if u have to install anything beforehand? Or do u simply unbox It , plug it in, pair your phone and go? Anyone???? Anyone???
Has this been tested with the new iOS 14 beta yet?
What about 2016 Jeep Cherokee trail hawk CarPlay
So did you get the Cplay2air off of their website or off amazon? I don’t see an amazon link for that one and would prefer to buy the one you reviewed so I know it works well

You need to have CarPlay for this adapter to work. It just makes it wireless
Means you gotta get rid of your truck and buy a new one

There is another one that can convert Android Auto to wireless CarPlay.
Saw an ad for this product and saw it in the video

Can I use it on my aftermarket double din android auto Pioneer?
Do you think this would work if I have a Sony aftermarket CarPlay head unit?
anthony licko when you visit the carplay2air.com website there’s a dongle for Android based system, which is the one I purchase because I have a android head unit with wired CarPlay in my civic.
anthony licko I’ll give an update once it arrives
Eldon thank you! I messaged them on Facebook messenger also so if I get a response I will update on here as well.
Eldon I ordered from these guys on Jan 21. Got tracking the next day. Left China on Jan 23 and on Feb 1 STILL NO ARRIVAL in the USA. No response from their customer service group either. No tracking updates for over a week. How are you tracking? Let us know how yours was shipped and total time in transit. Thanks!
Update for everyone. This company customer service sucks ass tbh, and you’ll have to wait between 15-25 days after purchasing before the dongle arrives, so keep that in mind. Sorry for the late response but the dongle literally arrived Feb 21, 2020, order date was Jan 28, 2020. The wireless CarPlay feature is working for my aftermarket head unit by “Seicane” but there’s about a 2 seconds lag whenever you change music which is annoying to me, with that being said I’m still using the dongle with my iPhone cable until a Software update fixes the latency.
Can this work on a 2015 Chevy Malibu
Do pioneers work with the dongle
