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 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!
