Who is it for?

• BMW owners and cars that already have factory wireless CarPlay but want streaming.
• You want the newest and fastest box with 5G.

Why choose it? (its competitive edge)

• Android 15 with 8GB RAM: the newest system and the smoothest apps in the range.
• Works with factory wireless CarPlay too, including selected BMW models, which most AI Boxes do not support.
• Built-in 1.8-inch touch screen, which also works as a touchpad for cars without a touch screen.
• 5G SIM slot and dual-frequency GPS (L1 + L5) for more accurate navigation.

Not sure between this and a similar device?

Ultra 3 or Ultra? Choose the Ultra 3 for BMW, 5G and the touch screen on the box; otherwise the Ultra gives the same Android 15 for less.

Choose an AI Box if you want video and apps on the car screen. If you only want CarPlay without a cable, a wireless adapter costs much less. Compare RAM, the SIM slot and HDMI in the table in the CarPlay AI Box section.

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

What your car needs

A screen with factory CarPlay, wired or wireless. This box works through it, so without CarPlay 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.
• Skoda (calls)
  Carlinkit says Tbox boxes may have call quality problems in Skoda cars when they connect as CarPlay: the other side may not hear you well.
  Solution: switch the box to the Android Auto channel from its button or settings. The car then sees it as Android Auto and uses the microphone normally. The screen still shows the box, and your iPhone still connects to the box wirelessly as usual. Your Skoda must have Android Auto, as most CarPlay Skodas do. Or see the wireless CarPlay adapters that fit Skoda, which do not have this problem.
