    The Must-Have Wireless Upgrade for Any Car

    Absolutely Worth It — Makes Every Drive Better! I’ve been using the Aluratek Wireless Car Adapter for a while now, and it has completely transformed my driving experience. Setup was incredibly simple—just plug it in, pair once, and it connects automatically every time I start the car. No more fumbling with cables or waiting for my phone to recognize the system. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run flawlessly, which is perfect for households with different devices. The connection is fast, stable, and responsive, with virtually no lag when switching apps, taking calls, or navigating with Google Maps or Apple Maps. Music streaming is smooth, and voice commands work just as well as they do when wired. I also love how compact the device is—clean look, no extra clutter, and it blends perfectly with the car interior. For the convenience it adds, this adapter is easily one of the best tech upgrades I’ve made to my vehicle. If you want to make your car instantly feel more modern and cable-free, the Aluratek adapter is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

    Have been using this Android Auto Adaptor for a few weeks now and it works great! Setup is very easy and the lag is minimal, it's just the regular Bluetooth lag, that even existed when the phone was wired to the car. It does come with an USB to USB-C extension in case yhe care takes USB-C only instead. The only thing is questioning myself, why I didn’t made this purchase sooner!

    Aluratek’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless carplay adapter is a great product. It connects quickly and without any lag. I’ve had it for a couple of days now, and I don’t have to use my iPhone charger to connect it to my radio anymore. I just turn on my car, and the Apple CarPlay connects instantly. I don’t know how long the audio will play before it disconnects, but it feels like it connects really fast. However, there was one issue where it didn’t connect at all when I got in my car. I had to unplug it and plug it back in. That’s the only downside, but hopefully it doesn’t happen again. Now, let’s talk about the price. I feel like this could have been a bit cheaper, maybe around $35 instead of $60. For that price, you should expect wireless CarPlay to work without any issues. Another thing I noticed is that I don’t have to turn on my car for my Apple CarPlay to connect. I can open the door, sit down, and it will still connect and play music while I’m turning on the car. I don’t think it’s a big deal, but it’s just a little strange for me. Overall, I’m really impressed with this product. I highly recommend it. You should definitely go pick it up, or if you can find something a bit cheaper, do so.

    Love this adapter. I have two vehicles that are not wireless to connect to Android Auto. So I bought one of these to try it and see if it does what it says in the advertisement. IT DOES!! So, I just ordered a second one for my other car. The only drawback is that you do still have to plug in your phone if it needs charging. But, for me that's not that often. As long as you have two ports to plug in to you can leave the adapter in. As you can see in the photo, I plugged in a car charger for when i do have to charge my phone.

    I needed a device that would allow me to listen to my Apple CarPlay on my Kenwood car stereo without any external wiring to my I-phone. Installation was a quick and easy. However, I notice that sometimes I loose connectivity and it takes approximately 2 minutes to reconnect, th happens weekly . Overlooking that minor issue it works great.

    Got this for my 5th gen RAV4 and it works great! I plugged it into the car’s USB port, pair it with my phone, and now every time I start the car it automatically goes to wireless CarPlay within 30-60 seconds. Color accuracy and sound are great. It’s also small and black so no one really notices it.

    Beware of Aluratek products!

    Connecting this is super easy and straightforward but the good parts of this device end there. Connection constantly is cutting in and out. It reminds me of listening to FM radio or if you ever tried running with a portable CD player/Walkman when you were younger. When you DO get a solid connection, there is about a 1-2 second audio delay. So streaming YouTube/videos/mlvies is a no go unless audio sync is not an issue for you. Contacted Aluratek after going through their troubleshoot guide online, they had me do the same steps again as the website. Then just all together stopped messaging me back once confirmed the device still was having the same issues. I've tried BOTH products listed in the picture. First one was for my iphone, had the same issues with it as this one for Android. Thought it may just be an Apple issue. so when I upgraded to my Fold 7, I got this one for it..same issues. And Aluratek will just stop responding to your emails after awhile because they don't want to replace/refund I'm guessing because they know how bad it is. I'd recommend staying FAR away from these products, save your time and money

    This is the best Apple CarPlay adapter I have ever used!!! Stay away from the cheap Amazon knock offs and get this one!! It’s worth the little extra and is still very reasonably priced, especially with all the offered features and customer support!

    Using on a Kia sorento it was easy to setup two mobiles and the provided button makes it easy to switch between mobiles. No connection lag so far and no connection drops either. But it does takes about a minute to connect to a phone after you start the vehicle. Apart from that no major complaints. Low profile makes it look like almost factory installed.

    The Aluratek Apple CarPlay wireless car adapter is an easy way to get wireless Apple CarPlay in your vehicle. Setup was as easy as plugging it in and pairing to my phone. There is a short delay of a few seconds after turning on the vehicle while it connects, but it has connected reliably day after day. Once connected, it functions just as well as wired CarPlay. The slim, discreet design looks clean and allows me to use CarPlay without cables cluttering my car's interior.

    I love this this wireless adapter. It's very discrete, so I don't have to worry about the passenger bumping it with their knee, and the setup took fewer than two minutes. I never have connection problems, and there is no latency. It works better than the USB cable did for transferring the data without losing connection. It's also really cool to be able to switch between two different phones, as I have a work phone and a personal, and one is android while the other is apple. I liked the product so much, I bought another as a gift for a friend. It functions exactly as advertised.

    I’ve been using this Wireless Car Adapter for a little while now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Setup was quick and painless—just plug it into the USB port, connect once, and it works seamlessly every time after that. The best part is the convenience: no more fumbling with cords every time I get in the car. Apple CarPlay connects instantly and runs smoothly without any lag. Navigation, music, and calls all work flawlessly, and the audio quality is excellent. The compact size is a bonus—it doesn’t clutter up the dashboard, and I hardly notice it’s there. It really feels like my car’s system got an instant upgrade without needing to replace the car for the newer one. Excellent quality!
