Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Seamless Wireless CarPlay Conversion: Connect Phone to Car Screen Sans Cables with CarPlay Wireless Adapter by Vinny Howard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible technology

This adapter just doesn't work. It's 2021 and to have such poor tech should shame the manufacturer! very compact and very light and fits almost anywhere there is a USB port in the car. Second, the device actually connects your iPhone to the car's Apple CarPlay system. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The rest of the story: There is a huge time lag after the device is connected. In some cases, the delay exceeds 10 seconds. For example, when using directions and any mapping application. The infotainment system screen shows your location on the map 10-15 seconds ago. And sometimes it just freezes. I don't mean the card, I'm talking about the whole CarPlay system and you have to stop the device, unplug it and then plug it back in. Plus, after 10 minutes of driving, the device just turns itself off and poof. car game. Again, you need to stop, disconnect, and reconnect the device. In this day and age when technology is amazing, someone is making this piece of junk that belongs to the early 2000's. I mean come on! I tested this on my iPhone 13 Pro. But I'm sure the device behaves the same way on any other iPhone. I don't know how it will behave with Android, but I have a feeling it's the same. This is my experience, and mine only, and on a Honda Accord 2121. .

Pros
  • Using CarPlay adapter
Cons
  • High price
