Review on CarlinKit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter for Factory Wired CarPlay Cars (Model Year: 2019 to 2020), Wireless CarPlay Dongle for Converting Wired to Wireless CarPlay by Noel Pilla

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works on 2021 Mercedes MBUX. It does not begin? Try it.

February 2021 Review: If you buy this unit and plug it into your car and it won't turn on (LED off) it's because you plugged in the wrong end. The narrow side of the cable (USBC end) MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE KEY BOX. The other large side (USBA end) should go into your machine. If your car only has a USBC connector (like a modern Mercedes with MBUX), you will need to buy a separate USBA female to USBC male adapter like this one here https://www.amazon.com/nonda-Adapter-Thunderbolt -Aluminum- Indicator/ dp/B015Z7XE0A/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=usba+to+usbc+adapter&qid=1613532730&sr=8-9 I am happy to confirm that this product works great with 2021 MBUX, at least on my Mercedes GLC ! I'll let you know after a few weeks of use if I find any bugs etc.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Great Price
