Wireless CarPlay Adapter for iPhone

This adapter converts a factory wired CarPlay system into a wireless connection for iPhone users. It supports vehicles from 2016 onward that already offer wired CarPlay integration. The unit plugs directly into the vehicle USB Type A port for power and data. No additional hardware or complex configuration is required for initial setup.

Upgrade from Wired CarPlay

The device replaces the physical Lightning cable normally needed for CarPlay with a wireless link. The jump is worth it for drivers who enter and exit the vehicle frequently and want automatic reconnection. It adds a mini USB port and a reset button for troubleshooting connection issues. Users keeping older iOS versions or using Android Auto will not benefit from this adapter.

USB Type A Interface Limits

The adapter draws power and communicates through a single USB Type A port on the head unit. Connection stability depends on the vehicle's USB implementation and available bandwidth. The compact dimensions of 1.92 x 1.06 x 0.38 inches allow discreet placement behind the dash. Vehicles without factory wired CarPlay or with USB ports that only supply charging current cannot support this adapter.
