Worked great right out of the box with my 2018 Subaru Outback. I love no longer having to plug into the USB port. I've been using this for about a month and have had no issues. It connects pretty quickly - I haven't timed it but I'd estimate by about 5 seconds.

I purchased this product as I have used several Rexing products before, such as their dashcams and have had nothing but positive experiences with their products.
I have been looking for a wireless CarPlay adapter for my vehicle for months and gave up as I couldn’t find one that was as minimal and compact from a brand I trust. Found out Rexing came out with one and purchased it almost immediately.
Set up was extremely easy! It’s about as “plug and play” as you can get from a product in 2025. While there is a little bit of latency, this is the result of how wireless capabilities work and is not detrimental to the efficiency of the product and after a day, you don’t even notice it.
I primarily purchased this product because I hate having to take my phone out of my pocket and plug it in and have an issue where it doesn’t always read the phone, so needing to unplug and replug it again is just inconvenient. On top of that, the phone being used for maps and music while charging renders the phone hot, especially with the heater on during the winter months and it just got annoying dealing with that.
Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a wireless CarPlay adapter from a trusted brand!

We got the Rexing CPW-42 for my wife’s 2018 Honda Odyssey, and she absolutely loves it.
Setup was quick and painless—just plug into the USB port and follow the pairing instructions. Within minutes, her iPhone connected automatically, and now she never has to mess with cable again.
CarPlay loads fast and runs smoothly, and she can jump straight into navigation, music, and messages without fumbling with cords while juggling the kids.
It’s a small upgrade that makes a huge difference in daily driving.
Highly recommended!

The product works fantastic. The issue I had was my USB CarPlay does not shut off when the key turns off. So this Wi-Fi adapter stays on 24 seven. I own a Hyundai Santa Fe 2023. There’s no way to turn the CarPlay off so if the product is plugged in, it’s on constantly worried about a fire issue.

I should have bought this instant fix for wireless CarPlay years ago. It works and setup is a breeze. It connects automatically with no trouble every time I start up my truck. I love it. There is one small glitchy thing, about half the time, upon first connect, the music playing from my iPhone starts right up for 10 seconds, then cuts out for 2 seconds then it works as expected with no issues at all. Honestly, it doesn't bother me since I get the benefits of wireless CarPlay on my 2021 Ram 1500 now which I am super stoked about.

This product is great. Intuitive set up, did not even need to read the instructions. Just plug in and start using with your phone's bluetooth and wifi. Not having to plug into a cord every time you start your car to me is very worth the price! All apple car play functions have worked seamlessly.

It does everything its advertised to do, it connects wireless to the CarPlay, only need to connect to it every time. Wish it had a better mechanism when using with multiple phones/parties. - as have to disconnect & reconnnect to use with the right phone. Otherwise, I would still recommend because it works.

The setup is super easy, and the connection is rock solid. Its small form factor makes it look like it came with the car. Just a heads up, make sure you paired it while it’s still connected to the car. I was in a rush and paired it while it was connected to my computer’s USB port, thinking I could save some time in the morning. But guess what? I had to unpair and pair it again when I actually started using it. So far, no issues.

Rexing CPW-42 - 5 Star!!! What I've needed!

Rexing - CPW-42 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter for iPhone (iOS 10+) and Android (Android 11+)
This is what I've needed!!! This unit makes it possible to have Apple Car Play or Android Auto without any hassles with an attached cord. It's for vehicles with factory-installed wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems and gives you wireless connections without plugging in your phone.
It has Dual-band 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and once set up future connections are automatic which takes a lot of hassle out of trying to connect to your vehicle with a cord.

Trusted the product as best buy is the seller. But trust me, this is perfectly suitable and worthy product. It has entirely changed my experience, going from wired to wireless. Now my phone is not overcharging and overheating. It has quick connect feature as well.

Hassle Free CaPlay/Android Auto

I’ve been using Rexing products for over 10 years now, and one thing I’ve always appreciated is how responsive they are when you need support. The CPW-42 is no different, it does exactly what it promises. If you’re tired of fumbling with cables every time you drive, this adapter makes CarPlay/Android Auto completely hassle-free. The setup is quick, the connection is solid, and it just works. A small upgrade that makes driving a lot more enjoyable.
It is a little more expensive then other options online, but Rexing makes a quality product and you really do get what you pay for these days.

I recently got this adapter, and overall it’s been a solid upgrade to my wired option. The setup was extremely simple - plug it into your USB port, pair via Bluetooth, and it just worked! It paired with my Samsung phone seamlessly with zero hiccups, and the connection has stayed stable even after restarts. Audio and navigation functions respond as quickly as the wired setup.
If you’re looking for a fuss-free way to get wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, this adapter delivers.

Plug and play with my 2023 4Runner TRD Off Road. Plugged in the device, connected to my iPhone 13 Pro and now have wireless Apple Car Play. Once setup, the device automatically connects to my phone when I start the car. I'm not more likely to use Car Play since I don't have to plug in my phone anymore.

So much easy to get into my car with out having to plug my phone in to connect with apple carplay. It does have a slight delay when trying to skip a song or watch a video but it still beats having to plug it in every time

Works well overall. Have had a few sporadic connection issues where audio buffers or the android auto will not connect but well worth it for the convenience of not needing to plug in.
