Wireless Carplay dongle

Has anyone tried one of these?

It seems there are more dongles that work with Android phones than for Apple.

Keen to know if anyone has one, how it is going and where it was purchased.

I like it. Hopefully it doesn’t require that pairing process each time, but good retrofit.

How much?

[Android 4.1+]Proxy/GateWay for Android Auto

I have this working on an old phone. Am going to try a an Android TV USB stick once I get hold of one.
One thing to note is that I was only able to get it to work by installing the Alpha version on the slave device (old phone) and beta version on the master (new phone).

$245 + delivery...ouch
This version seems similar price too - CPLAY2air wireless adapter for factory CarPlay on CARPLAY2air.com

None seem to support AA in wireless mode - still needs to be wired?
Am I missing something?

I bought the one from VW central for my 7.5 Golf R. I used double sided tape to attach it to the roof of the cubby in front of the gear selector.
It works very well and is invisible.Attachment 53213

They all appear to be the the same unit, rebranded. Reports seem to be mixed between "perfect" and "never works".

I have one that doesn't want to stay connected. When it works, it's magic and makes me consider spending the cash to upgrade the headunit to a native wireless carplay unit That could be my Pioneer head unit?? Or the device itself.

Anyone nearby in Melbourne is welcome to try it out and see if it works for them. Happy to let it go for $120 if it's going to work for someone else.

Ive got the same one from VW Central and it works very well. Takes about 30 seconds to connect and then stays connected.

I have 2 of the carplay2air units. One was in my Passat, the other was in the a4. They work for streaming music, but phone calls end up with a huge delay. We ended up not using it in the a4, and I sold the Passat (and the Troc has native wireless CarPlay for the times I decide to use it).

if you’re just using it for music, they work well. Phone calls on the other hand….nup.

CarPlay Wireless USB Adapter Dongle For Factory Fitted Vehicles

I like where this tech is heading. Once they get the kinks out and make one that can work with both Android Auto and Apple Car Play with no lag in phone calls, this will be a winner
