Who is it for?

• Mixed iPhone and Android families who want Carlinkit's most popular adapter.

Why choose it? (its competitive edge)

• Native CarPlay and Android Auto, with no protocol conversion, for faster connection.
• Works with aftermarket head units too.
• Vented body to prevent overheating.

Not sure between this and a similar device?

5.0 or Mini Ultra? The 5.0 has the widest compatibility (800+ models and aftermarket units); the Mini Ultra is smaller and faster.

Choose a wireless adapter if you only want CarPlay or Android Auto without a cable. If you also want YouTube and Netflix on the car screen, choose an AI Box instead.

Will it work in my car? When it will not, and the solution

What your car needs

A screen with CarPlay that works with a USB cable, from the factory or an aftermarket unit with CarPlay. This device works through that CarPlay, so without it, it cannot work.

Solution:

No CarPlay at all (old radio or basic screen): the Smart Screen QLED with the dashboard frame for your car. An aftermarket Android screen without CarPlay: the Carlinkit CCPA. Android Auto only, with an Android phone: the Carlinkit A2A. Not sure what your car has? See how to check.

• Tesla
  Tesla cars have no factory CarPlay or Android Auto, so this device cannot work in them and we hide it on Tesla pages.
  Solution: the Carlinkit T2C for Tesla, or see all CarPlay devices for Tesla.
• BMW
  Carlinkit states this model is not compatible with BMW, so we hide it on BMW pages.
  Solution: see the CarPlay devices that fit BMW.
• Cars that already have wireless CarPlay
  You do not need a wireless adapter: your car already does this.
  Solution: for YouTube and Netflix on the screen, choose the Carlinkit Tbox Ultra 3.
