Rexing - CPW-52 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter For iPhone (iOS 10+) & Android (Android 11+) – - Black

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 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 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.

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.

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.
