Disclaimers
- Need to have CarPlay or Android Auto Enabled Car system
A: Only 1 phone can connect at a time. That phone will then have control of the audio to the car. You can disconnect that phone and when you connect a different phone simply make sure Bluetooth is turned off on the first phone so the adapter doesn't grab that one first. Now the second phone can pair via Bluetooth easily.
Q: Will android auto work if your vehicle is only equipped with apple carplay.
A: May wanna try but it didn’t work for my 17 Silverado
Q: Can I watch YouTube with this?
A: No
A: Don’t think so it didn’t work for my 2017 Silverado
Q: Will this work on a 2016 Dodge Challenger.
A: As long as the vehicle has the Apple and Android icons showing on the stereo even when the phone is not connected to the car using USB cable, then this should work nicely.
A: Doubtful. Usually vehicles from 2015 and on have a better compatibility rate.
Q: I have a 2017 Toyota Camry LE, will this work in my car?
A: If your car supports Carplay or Android Auto, then yes.
Q: Does it also charge the phone?
A: No. It just connect the phone wirelessly to the vehicle if compatible.
