CarlinKit CarPlay Wireless Adapter Mini SE 2025 - Auto Connect Online Update for iPhone, Apple CarPlay Wireless Adapter Convert OEM Wired CarPlay Cars, Wired to Wireless Plug & Play Dongle

the Carlinkit se is an excellent device if you desire wireless CarPlay it works extremely well. The link is quick less than 5 seconds. The navigation is spot on, wireless calling and sound quality is excellent I would highly recommend the Carlinkit SE device 5 stars.

This has been EXCELLENT so far. Install...piece of cake. Use...easy...although you have to be aware of what Bluetooth devices you phone may already be connected to when you get in the car to use THIS one...Bluetooth is part of what CarPlay uses to establish the overall connection...other Bluetooth device connection can cause an issue. We shall see how it works over time...but the sound quality is good, the lag, if there is any, is really not noticeable in my use so far. I would say, at the moment, an excellent value and good piece of kit!

I wanted to test this system of wireless car play since I got a new dashboard camera in my car. It uses WiFi so it will affect your dash cam. Luckily for me, my new dash cam does not need to be connected to the WiFi app in order to record but it does need to be connected if I need to download footage.The product was easy to install. The QR code to installation does not work but it is easy to figured out.I was not able to connected to my Apple play connector in my car because it is located inside the center console, so I plugged it on the rear passenger seat lighter connector with a USB adapter. Works well, however, it does takes one second to skip from song to song and mutes for about half a second while song is playing once in a while. Regardless, it is convenient to use if you’re in/out of your car. Connects quickly but you have to press “connect again” on your screen every time.

Easy setup. Works for my 2025 Kia Telluride. Like that you can link to the device and get software updates. Had to install update when received. Would recommend.

I've tried out three of these aftermarket dongles and this one had the most UNstable connection. It did not come with any instructions, but these are pretty simple to setup.I started noticing that when playing music, you would hear an occasional fractional second drop of signal. This would happen about every 2 minutes and if multiple apps were communicating (e.g. maps and music) the problem was worse, eventually culminating in a full 3-second disconnect. This all occurred in the first 10 minutes of use. I quickly reverted to a more capable dongle (UPOSBOS).The form factor of this device is about the size of an older thumb drive which makes it awkward when plugged in, protruding about 3 inches from the port. I have other devices that are 1/3 the size and work better than this one. If I was going to give it a positive spin, I like the fact that you can connect as USB-A or USB-C and cap the other end. Clever design, but I would prefer that it worked well. I couldn't possibly recommend purchasing this device at any price, as experience using it should be seamless (as if it weren't even there).

This wireless car play is awesome. I don’t ever have to plug my phone in. As soon as ki get in my car it is automatically connected! Even after I turn off my car it is still connected until my car completely turns off. The connection is great and usuing my phone is so clear when talking.

Used in a Lexus 2020 (without wireless AirPlay). All you need to set this up and is connect via BT

I bought this because my 2024 Ford Maverick with the luxury packaged didn't include wireless Apple Car Play. It was easy to set up and connects flawlessly most of the time. Sometimes it's slow to connect but other than that I have zero complaints. Would recommend and the price point is great as well.
