I have been using Rexing Wireless CarPlay adaptors for several years in my “summer” vehicle (FJ Cruiser) which has an aftermarket corded CarPlay-enabled radio head unit. Each version of Rexing’s CarPlay adapters continue to impress – the connectivity and speed to connect has gotten down to less than 10 seconds from starting the car. The ability to be fully hands-free (and practically eyes-free) use of CarPlay via Siri is responsive, and music streaming is excellent. No noticeable buffering and the size of the device is so small, it’s almost hard to see. An absolutely outstanding addition for vehicles which do not have native wireless CarPlay functionality. A couple of notes – not necessary cons – but notes. The device gets very warm, so placement with room for air should be considered. Also, the nature of CarPlay is flawed no matter what device you use if you have multiple devices that utilize a wireless network. I have a cellular-enabled dashcam setup that utilizes WIFI for real-time coverage from the camera to my phone and this interferes with the Rexing CarPlay adapter. They both initially connect via Bluetooth and then via WIFI and it confuses my phone. So, I just had to adjust the dashcam to record to the card and download clips when the radio and CarPlay adapter are powered off.

I just purchased and received the new Rexing CPW-52 Wireless CarPlay adapter. It’s a compact, nonintrusive USB-A plug with an optional USB-C adapter. The installation was quick and easy. Pairing with my iPhone 15 was almost immediate. Once paired, I just had to click “Use CarPlay” to set it up for an automatic connection. The visible light indicates whether I’m connected. I’m not detecting any lag when listening to Apple Music. However, the music cuts in and out while driving. I’m trying to determine whether there’s Bluetooth interference with something else on my phone. I didn't have this problem with the previous Rexing device. Nevertheless, it’s great to get rid of the cord.

I tried buying $200 devices that have all sorts of features like Netflix and screen mirroring and a bunch of fancy features that I never really used. After a car accident, I rented a car that had built-in Wireless CarPlay and I LOVED it. Automatically connecting, fast connecting, and always just there on and waiting. I returned my fancy $200 wireless carplay adaptor that ran on Android, required updates and frequently overheated and shut down and thought that I would just have to live with plug in CarPlay. This Rexing CPW-52 is the experience that I wanted from the beginning. Simple, quick and easy to setup, I'm so happy that I found this. I have always trusted Rexing for my dash cams so I knew when I saw this wireless carplay adapter, I could trust that it would be a quality, well-built product.

An upgrade from the previous version and much smaller in size. It works seamlessly after the initial 15 minutes of figuring it out, probabky mh fault lol. Works great with minor lag, which I expect. Definitely would buy again , it connected to my samsung s25 android. I am using it in my GTI which has android wired play and this makes me so happy that i can just walk into the car and it connects automatically.

This is the perfect upgrade for a Ford Sync3 system that requires a wired connection for Android Auto and CarPlay. This device is low profile, completely blending in to my truck's infotainment dash. The intial setup was super easy and my phone now automatically connects to the device and AA automatically boots when I start the truck. Completely seemless experience!

Excellent simple to use product. I appreciate that it came with both USB-A (the big square plug) as well as an adapter for USB-C (rounded symmetrical connector). Worked well for me!

Really good, surprisingly small. Doesn't take any room away from my center console, it's almost flush with the USB port . I do have one quirk, if I remote start my car sometimes it won't connect on its own, I have to get my phone out and join the wifi network it puts out. Overall it's great, clever design to make my car think an iPhone is plugged in and then lets me connect my android to it. Zero lag Android Auto experience, with a newer phone at least.

I am reviewing “Rexing - CPW-52 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter” that I bought at Best Buy. My car is a 2019 Sienna XLE that came with built-in Navigation. This year Dynamic Map updates are no longer available - so I decided to try Apple Play so I can use Waze on the big screen. Problem with Apple Play is that I have to connect Apple Play to my iPhone each time I want to use it. I bought a cheap wireless Car Play adapter from Amazon. The adapter was long and got knocked out by my knee whenever I entered the car. The device connected to my phone successfully about half the time. As a loyal Rexing Dash Cam customer, I decided to pay a bit more for a quality Rexing Wireless Car Play Adapter. As you can see in the photo comparing the two adapters, there is no possibility of knocking the Rexing adapter out of the socket. Even more importantly, the wireless connection stays connected and automatically reconnects every time I start the car with my iPhone in my pocket. I gave the Rexing CPW-52 5 stars. It gives me peace of mind on every trip. I highly recommend the Rexing CPW-52.

I've been struggling to find a small unit to replace the 6' cord I've been using in my 2019 Tahoe which did not come with wireless carplay. I always didn't want to have the phone charging, and I didn't always want to place the phone in a cradle. I've purchased several Rexing dash cameras before, and was always pleased by their quality, so I was willing to give this a try. Plug it in, pair it to your phone the first time, done. Has connected every time, ever since, with no detectable delay or latency. If you are looking for a small, discrete wireless solution. I recommend this Rexing unit.

Started using a usb cable and when that went out, used a wireless dongle from another brand. That didn't last long either. It would connect and disconnect making it very frustrating and the initial set up was a nightmare. Went back to a cable and after constantly changing them out decided to see if this Rexing would do the trick. So far, it's been outstanding. Set up was a breeze, didn't even need to look up any videos. Set up both IOS and Android because I have both phones. Interface on both was the same but realized you can't easily switch back and forth. So I decided to stick with my android. There is very little lag unlike the last wireless dongle I had. I do recommend that you keep your phone stationary on a holder while driving or the gps goes kinda all over the place with the map.

Got CPW-42 for me before and love it. So my wife required one as well. I don't know why Toyota and Lexus are so conservative so that their 202x cars still have to use a cable with carplay. However, Rexing products help cut the cable.

Excelent for tiny space . A lil bit lag but better than other wireless adapter .

I have bought 3 CPW-42s for various vehicles and they've all worked great. I decided to try the CPW-52 due to the placement of my USB port. I love the CPw-52 as it it tiny, about the size of the nickle and it doesn't protrude out from the USB port. It's very compact and is a huge upgrade if you don't need to use the USB-C adapter.

I recently bought a CarPlay adapter from Best Buy and I’m honestly really impressed with it. Setup was quick and easy, and it connected to my phone within minutes. It made my wired CarPlay completely wireless, which has been super convenient for daily driving. The connection stays stable, audio quality is great, and there’s barely any lag when using maps, music, or calls. Definitely made my driving experience a lot smoother and cleaner without dealing with cables all the time. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their car setup!

The Rexing CPW-52 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter is a game changer. Super easy plug-and-play setup, connects quickly, and makes driving so much more convenient without dealing with cables. Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto runs smooth with minimal lag, and it auto-connects every time I start the car. Definitely worth it if you want a clean, hassle-free upgrade!

The Rexing CPW-52 is a wireless adapter that eliminates the need for phone cords in the car. It plugs into the USB port and automatically connects my phone to the dashboard as soon as the engine starts. This allows me to start music and navigation hands-free while the kids are getting settled. The connection is stable, so songs don't cut out, and the console stays clear of tangled wires. It is a practical tool for streamlining school runs and family trips.

I have been using CarPlay in my 2016 Honda Civic, and it works very well. Initially, I connected my phone directly with a cable; however, after several months of use, the cables frequently malfunctioned. As a result, I decided to switch to a wireless CarPlay adapter. The setup was simple—just plug it in—and the connection has been reliable both while driving and when parked. The adapter itself is compact with a sleek design. The product arrived well packaged and included clear instructions. Since this is my second wireless adapter, I did not need to reference the instructions. Previously, I purchased a low-cost adapter while traveling in China, which unfortunately melted due to sun exposure (I live in California). That experience made me hesitant to try another one. However, seeing that this adapter is manufactured by Rexing gave me confidence. I own a Rexing dash camera and have consistently found their products to be high quality and reliable. Overall, I am very satisfied with this wireless CarPlay adapter. It performs well, is well-designed, and comes from a reputable brand. I would recommend it as a useful and affordable gadget.

I was skeptical about using a wireless device inside my car considering I've used a cord all the time and was always worried about the lag that may take place. Well, my worries were all wiped away after I bought this device. It was super simple to setup. Plug the adapter into the usb port, enable wifi and bluetooth and pair it up. That's it. Worked immediately! And it sounds great! One of the best features is that it will work on both android and iphone, which works great for my girlfriend which has an iphone and I have an android phone. It's also great we can use siri and google assistant to make calls and select music allowing me to keep my eyes on the road and not get distracted. All in all, I am extremely happy. Thank You Rexing!

The Rexing CPW-52 is a plug-and-play adapter that enables factory-wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto Vehicles to connect to your device without messing around with cables and wires.
