Which CarPlay device do you need?
Start with your car. The right device depends on what your car screen already supports.
- Your car has CarPlay or Android Auto that works only with a cable: a wireless adapter makes it wireless, and an Android AI Box adds YouTube, Netflix and apps.
- You want to show your phone screen on the car screen: choose a 4-in-1 adapter with AirPlay and Miracast.
- Your car has no CarPlay at all (old radio or basic screen): you need an Android car screen and the dashboard frame made for your car.
- You already have an aftermarket Android screen: the Carlinkit CCPA (Autokit) adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to it.
- You drive a Tesla: the Carlinkit T2C brings CarPlay and Android Auto to the Tesla screen.
- You want a Fire TV Stick, a console or a laptop on the car screen: choose an HDMI multimedia adapter.

How do I know if my car has CarPlay?
- Plug your iPhone into the car's USB port with a cable: if the CarPlay screen appears, your car has wired CarPlay.
- Look for a CarPlay or phone-projection icon in the car screen menu.
- Use the USB port marked with a phone or CarPlay symbol; some ports only charge.
- Still not sure? Send us your car model and year and we will tell you which device works.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch YouTube while driving?
No. Video is for passengers and for when the car is parked. While driving, use maps, music and calls.
Does an AI Box need internet?
Yes, for streaming. Share your phone hotspot, or use the SIM slot on the Ottocast P3.
Will it change anything in my car?
No. Adapters and AI Boxes plug into the USB port; unplug them and the car is exactly as before.
