Rikkt Car Video Box Wireless: Full Android Entertainment Box (YouTube, Watch It, Netflix)

The Rikkt Car Video Box turns your car's CarPlay screen into a full Android entertainment system, with 4GB of RAM for smooth apps and a microSD slot for more storage.

Who is it for?

• Family trips and long waits: series, matches and YouTube on the car screen.
• Passengers who want their own apps while the driver uses maps.
• Drivers who want wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the same box.

Why choose it? (its competitive edge)

• 4GB RAM for smoother multitasking than basic video adapters.
• Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz) for stable streaming.
• Bluetooth 5.0 for keyboards, game controllers and headphones.
• microSD slot and side vents for cooling.
• 12-month warranty from Rikkt.

Is it the right choice for you?

Choose the Video Box if you want the most capable Android box for video and apps. If you only need CarPlay without a cable, a wireless adapter is enough. If your car has no CarPlay at all, you need an Android car screen.

Car Video Box or Smart Dongle? Almost the same price; the Video Box has more memory and a 12-month warranty.

• No change to the car: unplug it and the screen goes back to normal.
• Bluetooth controllers and keyboards: games and typing for passengers.

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.
