Missed out last time it was on special with the extra discount; been keeping an eye out and it's on special again for $74.99 and has Prime Same Day Delivery and free delivery for non Prime subscribers.

From the previous posts on OzBargain and Amazon Reviews, it has mixed reviews, in my view leaning towards positive. So worth a try if you wish to convert your Wired Apple CarPlay to Wireless.

Your headunit needs to have Wired Apple CarPlay for this to work.

    I bought this in the last deal and it’s not suitable for my use case; two different drivers with iPhones wanting wireless CarPlay. It is incredibly difficult to change between devices. If you are the only driver, go for it. It works.

      I’ve yet to find one that works very well with multiple phones :( always super buggy trying to connect another phone, or disconnect etc

        @wrx5 did you remember since last month any of the brands that support profiling?

    • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2022 - 11:44

      Thankyou. Your feedback is valuable to 2+ person car arrangements

    • NPB on 17/09/2022 - 12:56

      Agree its super difficult to use if using two iphones, otherwise its all good. i have been using in my Mazda CX-30.

    • guidedlight on 17/09/2022 - 14:33

      This is my experience with factory-supplied Wireless CarPlay as well, its quite difficult to change between devices… you would think it would remember from the driver profile, but nope.

      • Mitch889 on 17/09/2022 - 15:33

        Depends on your car. Very easy in my wife’s BMW X3 to swap CarPlay connection from her phone to mine in the mobile device menu.

    • Mitch889 on 17/09/2022 - 15:29

      Bit indulgent, but you could always buy two and just swap between the two when you’re switching drivers. Pair a single phone to each, job done.

      • Broos on 17/09/2022 - 15:36

        I may as well plug in the phone, at that point?

        • Mitch889 on 17/09/2022 - 15:37

          Depends on how often you’re swapping devices.

          • omblygombly on 18/09/2022 - 08:37

            @Mitch889: How long does it take to swap a cable from one phone to another phone?

    Grabbed this for my MK7 R last time it was on sale. Works great and no issues so far. A slight lag when pressing buttons, but nothing really to complain about.

    If you have an android head unit that doesn’t have CarPlay at all, get the CarlinKit CarPlay dongle for just under $100. It works surprisingly well, plus it has wireless built in as well. Also is a good option if your car has an android head unit with a really crappy CarPlay version eg the Zjinnova one (mine had this and the connectivity is super spotty, and slow), this installs a different version that works better with much better and consistent connectivity.

    https://amzn.asia/d/dhtLIA6, or on eBay as well, frequently under $100.

    • Cousin IT on 17/09/2022 - 11:43

      Interesting product, thanks for that Dr Fruit.

      I don't need it, but good to know this exists as well. 👍

    • lingkohuang on 17/09/2022 - 13:13

      Carlinkit 4.0 is definetely the one to go! Fast and realiable!

      • Edutan on 17/09/2022 - 15:49

        Does it work well with mutiple iphones?

        • worker on 17/09/2022 - 18:20

          Yes it does you can pick the one to connect to before it connects, it gives a choice
          If it craps out which it does occasionally all you need to do is put one phone on airplane mode and connect the other one. Then turn airplane mode off and everything works as normal.

          Also the latest update causes a couple of small issues so the firmware before the latest is the one to go for. ( for me anyways )

  • s313 on 17/09/2022 - 12:13

    any recommendations for wireless android auto ? tia

    • Laserface on 17/09/2022 - 12:24

      buy a proper head unit with it built in. avoid pioneer. JVC/Kenwood/Alpine.

      • s313 on 17/09/2022 - 12:28

        its for 2022 model palisade.

        • Laserface on 17/09/2022 - 12:28

          should've ticked the option then!

      • Make it so on 17/09/2022 - 13:48

        I got a pioneer retrofitted in a Subaru. Wireless android auto works flawlessly.

      • entropysbane on 17/09/2022 - 15:48

        I realise that laserface was being annoying, but a big plus if you have an older car and install a kenwood or pioneer.
        I put a Kenwood head unit with wireless carplay in my 2011 Mazda and it works a lot better and faster than a CarLinkit 2 in my 2021 Santa Fe.

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 17/09/2022 - 13:15

      Carsifi. 2 weeks delivery from china.

      I've heard a lot of good things about AA Wireless.

      There's also the Motorola A1 Wireless from this deal.

      I had never heard of the Carsifi that BewareOfTheDog suggested, but it also looks good.

      There's also a heap of the CarlinKit ones that are available on on the various marketplaces, but from the research I did, this Ototree seems like the best one out of the bunch for Apple CarPlay only.

      Then there's also the Android Auto/Apple CarPlay combo ones. CGAuto on Amazon has this combined one on special for $116.40 delivered or there's the CarlinKit one that shows up for $111 delivered.

      • pongwaters on 17/09/2022 - 17:34

        I am happy with AA Wireless. Use it with Sony xav5000, two Android using drivers. Works reliably. Can preference drivers, mostly "last connected" did the trick. Takes about 30 seconds to connect when you stay the car.

  • MrPresident on 17/09/2022 - 14:25

    Considering the lag, it’s ok when on sale for $59

  • Jmore1231 on 17/09/2022 - 15:02

    Yeah there's lag when using it but found it to be ok for a month then started dropping out and would refuse to update constantly crashing. Ended up returning it for a refund. Would highly recommend maybe waiting for the next gen one or get something else. I was in my return window so wasn't bad but after that I didn't feel confident it would last.

  • Mitch889 on 17/09/2022 - 15:30

    Works great on the factory CarPlay on my 2022 Land Cruiser VX. Very stable even during long drives (4hrs+) and zero lag.

    Was a bit glitchy on my 2019 Ford Everest with SYNC3, so YMMV depending on your vehicle.

  • trouble11111111 on 18/09/2022 - 08:19

    Need some help to understand this product. Would it work if a car does NOT have CarPlay?

    I have a 2014 Mercedes. It has Bluetooth but it doesn’t have CarPlay. I use GoogleMap on my iPhone. Would this product work for me and make CarPlay in my car?

    • trouble11111111 on 18/09/2022 - 08:22

      I think I found the answer, NO I can’t use it.
