Turn your car’s wired CarPlay into wireless: plug in once and your iPhone connects by itself every time you start the car.
How to choose
- All of them need factory wired CarPlay (or wired Android Auto for Android phones).
- iPhone only? The Carlinkit Mini SE or 3.0 is enough. iPhone and Android in the family? Choose a 2-in-1 adapter.
- Smallest and hidden: Majentik MINI or Carlinkit Mini Ultra.
- Aftermarket Android screen with no CarPlay: the Carlinkit CCPA (Autokit).
