I have a 2016 BMW i3 which didn't come with a factory carplay . I bought an aftermarket one and installed it. It hangs up quite a bit and I am always resetting it. If i purchased a dongle for it , could I get nexflix , prime , ect? I am a iphone 13 max user. What dongle would you suggest? I was looking at the Ottocast one. what do you think?
@@CarPlayLife I have this aftermarket system. Road Top Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder. It has a HDMI and USB connect on it. Which dongles are the easiest to use with basic TH-cam , hulu , and prime video? I can connect directly to the unit , right ? Sorry, I'm new. Trying to figure it all out.
I tested an iPhone 5s with iOS 12.5.4 (latest version available for that phone) wirelessly on two CarlinKit 2.0 (CPC200-U2W-PLUS) with red UI, latest FW. It does not work. The CarPlay icons show up but the interface is split in half horizontally and shifted up off screen. The bottom half is either black or filled with pixelated garbled artifacts. The upper half with the UI is not clickable. These same dongles work fine with an iPhone X under iOS 14.7 This is strange as the iPhone 5s with iOS 12 is said to be compatible with wireless CarPlay.
Great video really helpful. Quick question, I recently brought the carlinkit 2.0 off Amazon and it seems to look slightly different to yours with the logos being at the top and the light bit at the bottom. Do you know if they have changed it (design wise) slightly or have I been ripped off with a dodgey one. Bearing it mind it seems to be working fine. The box it came in was abit smaller than ones I’ve seen online too, dongle itself is smaller than I expected.
I am sure it is just a newer model or revised model. Both CarLinkit dongles I have a really early versions. They might have chosen to flip the logos and status light for better visibility when stowed in a centre console. The fact that is works is reassuring and makes me thinks it’s less of a knockoff and just more a revision. Same goes for the packaging, smaller will mean cheaper. So more profit for them. Just be careful about updating it. If it works, don’t fix it.
Sorry I can't help you there, but my advise is to buy from Amazon, if it is in your area, as it allows easier returns should it not work well with your system.
Appreciate for you details about the dongle’s available in the market. But ive got a doubt. I own a skoda rapid 2021 which comes with andriod touchscreen sysytem and doesn’t have apple carplay. So If i get MMB plus can i get carplay by this dongle. Your answer will help me alot. Thank you
No that won’t work. You need to look for a similar AI Box that works with Android Auto. Or did you mean it doesn’t come with Android Auto either? If so can you install apk’s on the system?
I have a Carplay2Air and a 2019 Lexus UX. The CarPlay2Air is upgraded to current firmware. Here's the problem. Frequently, but not every time that I can tell, after CarPlay shows up on the screen, it cycles the entertainment system off. It then reconnects, and cycles the entertainment system off again. This goes on indefinitely unless I reboot my iPhone. The only way I've found, so far, to prevent this from happening is to not watch any TH-cams or other videos (ie, on FaceBook). If I do that, the cycling off returns until I reboot the iPhone again. Any suggestions?
That’s a strange one for sure. All I can’t suggest is go into the IP based settings menu ones you’re connected. If running the latest firmware you should have a delay option listed. Play around with that setting to give your system time to boot before the dongle is enabled.
I've watched a lot of these videos and still haven't decided on which one to purchase. If you had to choose one of the kind of all that you have demoed which would you choose? I'm basically wanting to watch the best quality TV on my screen 2018 GMC Denali 1500
If you want to watch video you limit yourself to an AI box. So these dongles th-cam.com/play/PLysOHeJ5BkMh2B1Rn4O0nk1ZSbJ2ufr-Y.html. Look for one with a QualComm 665 or 662 chip inside. The new UX999Plus or UX999Ultra AI Boxes or boxes with plus or ultra in their name are ones to go for. However lower spec AI boxes are still ok for video playback on a budget. The QualComm 450 is not too bad for lite tasks and video.

There aren’t many (if any) dongles that does this well.

Only one on this line-up does Netflix. You will need an Android OS box, not a wireless adapter. Checkout the ApplePie Mini I reviewed. th-cam.com/video/y94QJur0ipU/w-d-xo.html
Most of these dongles only offer wireless carplay for a wired carplay stereo. You'll need an Android AI Box instead for wireless Android Auto or a more dedicated adapter that dose just this function.
Any one with a USB input port then. They will likely be android OS based also for media playback. Check my android os dongle playlist here th-cam.com/play/PLysOHeJ5BkMh2B1Rn4O0nk1ZSbJ2ufr-Y.html
Great video once again. In regards to the MMB android CarPlay box, Any idea what “use box location” or “use car location” is about in the system settings. Any idea what this is for? Cheers
That’s likely to do with how the dongle functions with apps requiring your location. Either the GPS from the vehicle/phone or from GPS connection to the dongle. Hope this helps.
CarPlay is able to pass the location information of an in-car GPS antenna to the iPhone. So if your car supports that, you can use that signal and don't have to install the adapter's antenna at all.
I have an after market sony which uses mirrorlink. Samsung has dropped mirrorlink so I can't access any carplay options when using usb. Would this be a good work around as I would like to access TH-cam and video streaming?
Carplay2air - frequently fails to connect, just loops connection screen. You have to unplug the dongle, and plug it back in, sometimes takes 3 attempts. Updates fail to install. Sometimes just works, but less and less since new. Really disappointed.
Try removing all your CarPlay and BT profiles for this dongle and try installing it fresh again. See if that helps. Try and update if it doesn’t improve things.
They are the only easy way right now to get your wired CarPlay wireless. They can be a little unstable and compatibly can vary per vehicle type so best get from Amazon so you can try and have easy returns. It is between the CarLinKit 3.0 amzn.to/3f3LzZll and Ottocast U2-Now amzn.to/3mRW9XJ. I swing more towards these two because you can buy them from Amazon.
Hey which one would u suggest if I have android and the mrs has apple and we share the csr every other day. So swap between the 2 systems quiet frequently
For your scenario it is between the U2-X (will require toggling between AA and CP each time before you connect) or an Android Os dongle that could do it a little more seamless but though and android layer so there’s more going on.
That's an Android AI Box, not the basic wireless dongle as the rest of the ones mentioned in this video. It's ok, but a little underpowered in my opinion.
@@mamedhuseyn2162 I think just the case design is different. There is now a CarlinKit 4.0 that offers wireless android auto as well as wireless CarPlay. But it won’t do android apps for video streaming.
There is a dongle called AAWireless that might work but it might only be for android audio wired systems. I’ve yet to be sent one for review to find out. Otherwise the ApplePie Mini has wireless android auto support. Android 11 is required for wireless to work though.
None of these will work with mirror link other than the MMB dongles where screencast works to mirror the android to the CarPlay display. The experience isn’t that great though.
@@vincentscully9786 the address will vary I guess for security purposes. The only thing you can do is access the dongle settings via the address 192.168.50.2 in the browser on your iPhone that’s connected to the dongle

It’s depends on your desires. If you want just CarPlay. Get CarLinkit or MMB Plus. Plus will also allow streaming over hotspot for TH-cam only. If you want more functionality try the Android 9 MMB.
Hi Anthony. I still have my carlinkit 2.0 stuck in the red led only mode after failed update. Do you think this is a terminal condition. It worked fine till update. Thanks Doug
Hi, it depends if you can see the boot menu. Usually if you get no lights at all, then that’s a dead end. But if you have some signs of life on the dongle, then there might be a chance. I’m going to explore recovering my carplay2air for a How To video (if I’m successful)
@@alexandough unless the system has CarPlay enabled these dongles won’t work with it. If you want CarPlay maybe look into retro fitting a modern Prius system that has CarPlay enabled.
Very nice comparison. Thanks for the effort. On the MMB+, do you have to reply to the 3 Carplay prompts at every boot or it is only on the first install ? I tend to lean towards the Carlinkit 2.0, but I have to admit that that the boot screen is utterly ugly and looks out of place in a premium vehicle. Is there any ugly boot screen on the MMB+ ? If not, I will pay more for a more discreet boot. Can you also confirm that the MMB+ as also 5Ghz WiFi ? Thanks a lot for you precious help.
Hi, and thanks. The prompts was just down to a first install and detect of a new CarPlay system being connected. Yes the boot is very ugly but it is there for a no more than 60 seconds before CarPlay initialises. MMB is more discrete as you can see in the video. I can’t confirm 5Ghz, but I am sure it is as their other older dongle was. Their webpage might explain and confirm that more for you. Hope this helps.
First Thank you for the Videos. Question: I have 2 customers husband and wife. Brand new cars. Wireless CarPlay built in. They only want one app on the screen. Music. No phone. No text messages. Basically want all other functions on the phone acts as if it’s not paired. Will these dongles let you delete factory apps by apple? My only solution thus far is to play music through FM transmitter. But then none of Apple Music shows up on display or controllable. I’ve paired it with CarPlay off and the system recognizes iPhone music great but still sends all data from the phone. Just in the cars infotainment language. I’m pulling my hair out. Lolol. Also read somewhere I could go into notifications in settings on iPhone and turn off CarPlay in notifications for phone and messages. Doesn’t work.
How about just Bluetooth audio to the car system. If they have wireless carplay built in, it must be modern enough to BT to it and control audio from the BT music player or via the app on their phone.
None of these will bring CarPlay to a non CarPlay vehicle system. You need a new system, an updated OEM retro fit or something like the Coral vision dashboard console bit.ly/carplaywireless
@@smooth1732 it’s basically a usb cable that you plug in a small magnetic lighting adapter into your iPhone port. This sits pretty flush to your iPhone and doesn’t stick out that much. Then there is a usb cable that plugs into your CarPlay usb port and the other end has a magnet connector that simply snaps to the magnet that’s connected to your iPhone. Once connected, charging (and data if the cable supports it) can flow. It puts less stress on your iPhone port, yet I don’t think the charging power is a strong as a direct connection, but it’s likely not that much different than wireless charging speeds. Here is a link to a data version. Cheaper ones usually only supply power, not data, that’s needed for CarPlay to function. amzn.to/2TBXciC
No, only cars from 2015 onwards have CarPlay, and a very select few 2015 models do since that’s when CarPlay was fully released. A 2010 model wouldn’t have it, you would have to retrofit the system. However, in old prius’ it would be very difficult since the screen is in a weird position. Sure it’s possible, but incredibly difficult.
These car for CarPlay systems for use with an iPhone but some will allow android mirroring to the dongle. Like the MMB dongles. But the experience isn’t great.
@@KorruptorGaming Excatly because I checked Apple.com for CarPlay match only 2020-2021, 2015 Jeep Cherokee 8.4 Uconnect won’t work on CarPlay. That’s why I’m not happy about that.

I have had a CPLAY2AIR, and I could live with the delay on media playback. But when using for phone calls, it's useless.Talking to people ends up with total interruption of each others sentences, cause of the delay. Is this better in the CarLinkIt ?
All suffer with this and it also depends on the car system and microphone installed. Some don’t think it’s a problem and that’s either how they talk over the phone, that they don’t do many calls and for long periods, or perhaps it’s the car system that’s helping. But overall that audio delay is the same for audio in calling. For some it’s enough to make calling over WiFi a frustration. I guess a possible work around for this whilst keeping wireless CarPlay is looking for an android ai box that uses BT for calling/ voice input. Some dongles did do that recently and I wonder if it’s their way to work around the WiFi delay. But it also introduces bugs when the audio won’t switch back well enough and you have music playback using the same connection and it sounds awful. 🤷🏻♂️
That’s a common issue I hear and without an updated since March this year I don’t think it has been solved. I don’t know if any of the settings options solve this issue?

Best product and interface is definitely the DIGI DASH 3.0. I’ve owned the Stream to your car / MMB and not even close to the DIGI DASh 3.0
This is a rebadged Bingo+ or Aurora AI Box. It’s good AI Box. Not necessarily a wireless CarPlay only adapter, so not like for like. But as an AI box type. It is good.
Hello! I bought the carlink model CPC200 - CP2A. To use with android and with my wife's iphone. With the iphone, it connects normally, but with the android does not leave the connection home screen, however, it does not connect. It is only the warning that it is connecting to android auto, but on the android phone, it appears only available for audio call. What can it be?
Sorry I don’t know that one. Ask support for more direct help with this issue.

where is the AAWireless part?
AAWireless is android

Hi there, because my eng is not good so i dont know what you say...can you recommend me the best apple carplay dongle? i don't care about the price! Thanks
It is between the CarLinKit 3.0 amzn.to/3f3LzZll and Ottocast U2-Now amzn.to/3mRW9XJ and CPLAY2air v2 bit.ly/CPLAY2air. Swinging more towards the first two because you can buy them from Amazon and you'll have quickly and easy returns if they don't work on your vehicle's CarPlay system.

Go to their support page, it has all the info for updating there. Only update if you have an issue with its functionality. Otherwise you could make it worse!

@@CarPlayLife I have this aftermarket system. Road Top Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit Decoder. It has a HDMI and USB connect on it. Which dongles are the easiest to use with basic TH-cam , hulu , and prime video? I can connect directly to the unit , right ? Sorry, I'm new. Trying to figure it all out.
I tested an iPhone 5s with iOS 12.5.4 (latest version available for that phone) wirelessly on two CarlinKit 2.0 (CPC200-U2W-PLUS) with red UI, latest FW. It does not work. The CarPlay icons show up but the interface is split in half horizontally and shifted up off screen. The bottom half is either black or filled with pixelated garbled artifacts. The upper half with the UI is not clickable. These same dongles work fine with an iPhone X under iOS 14.7
This is strange as the iPhone 5s with iOS 12 is said to be compatible with wireless CarPlay.
I’m sure the dongle compatibility requirements state iPhone 6 and above. Maybe they just ruled out supporting the 5S
Great video really helpful.
Quick question, I recently brought the carlinkit 2.0 off Amazon and it seems to look slightly different to yours with the logos being at the top and the light bit at the bottom. Do you know if they have changed it (design wise) slightly or have I been ripped off with a dodgey one. Bearing it mind it seems to be working fine.
The box it came in was abit smaller than ones I’ve seen online too, dongle itself is smaller than I expected.
I am sure it is just a newer model or revised model. Both CarLinkit dongles I have a really early versions. They might have chosen to flip the logos and status light for better visibility when stowed in a centre console. The fact that is works is reassuring and makes me thinks it’s less of a knockoff and just more a revision. Same goes for the packaging, smaller will mean cheaper. So more profit for them. Just be careful about updating it. If it works, don’t fix it.
Hi does car play kit works with lexus gs 350 2014, it comes with cursor ( no touch screen )

Can you load TH-camTV on these things? I never saw anyone demo that. Is there anything stopping you from installing TH-camTV on these?
No youtube on the wireless dongles. you need an AI Box for youtube playback. Only TH-cam Music is supported on carplay.
I have wireless CarPlay on my bmw , it’s perfect but these dongles are just a faff. Just spend 3 seconds plugging the cable in !
It’s great when you have native wireless support.
Appreciate for you details about the dongle’s available in the market. But ive got a doubt. I own a skoda rapid 2021 which comes with andriod touchscreen sysytem and doesn’t have apple carplay. So If i get MMB plus can i get carplay by this dongle. Your answer will help me alot.
Thank you
No that won’t work. You need to look for a similar AI Box that works with Android Auto. Or did you mean it doesn’t come with Android Auto either? If so can you install apk’s on the system?
I have a Carplay2Air and a 2019 Lexus UX. The CarPlay2Air is upgraded to current firmware. Here's the problem. Frequently, but not every time that I can tell, after CarPlay shows up on the screen, it cycles the entertainment system off. It then reconnects, and cycles the entertainment system off again. This goes on indefinitely unless I reboot my iPhone. The only way I've found, so far, to prevent this from happening is to not watch any TH-cams or other videos (ie, on FaceBook). If I do that, the cycling off returns until I reboot the iPhone again. Any suggestions?
That’s a strange one for sure. All I can’t suggest is go into the IP based settings menu ones you’re connected. If running the latest firmware you should have a delay option listed. Play around with that setting to give your system time to boot before the dongle is enabled.
Does the carlinkit able to use TH-cam or Netflix?
This CarlinKit does not allow that.
I've watched a lot of these videos and still haven't decided on which one to purchase. If you had to choose one of the kind of all that you have demoed which would you choose? I'm basically wanting to watch the best quality TV on my screen 2018 GMC Denali 1500
If you want to watch video you limit yourself to an AI box. So these dongles th-cam.com/play/PLysOHeJ5BkMh2B1Rn4O0nk1ZSbJ2ufr-Y.html. Look for one with a QualComm 665 or 662 chip inside. The new UX999Plus or UX999Ultra AI Boxes or boxes with plus or ultra in their name are ones to go for. However lower spec AI boxes are still ok for video playback on a budget. The QualComm 450 is not too bad for lite tasks and video.
@@CarPlayLife I purchased the MMB 3 off of Amazon. I just want one that works well with TH-cam TV live. Is there one that you would suggest that's overall the best if you had to just choose one?

There aren’t many (if any) dongles that does this well.

Most of these dongles only offer wireless carplay for a wired carplay stereo. You'll need an Android AI Box instead for wireless Android Auto or a more dedicated adapter that dose just this function.
Which one is work with GMC ACADIA 2021 ?
Sorry. Can’t say.

Great video once again.
In regards to the MMB android CarPlay box, Any idea what “use box location” or “use car location” is about in the system settings. Any idea what this is for? Cheers
That’s likely to do with how the dongle functions with apps requiring your location. Either the GPS from the vehicle/phone or from GPS connection to the dongle. Hope this helps.
CarPlay is able to pass the location information of an in-car GPS antenna to the iPhone. So if your car supports that, you can use that signal and don't have to install the adapter's antenna at all.

It’s the Avolare magnetic mount amzn.to/35EK0ey I also have a review of it on my channel.
Carplay2air - frequently fails to connect, just loops connection screen. You have to unplug the dongle, and plug it back in, sometimes takes 3 attempts. Updates fail to install. Sometimes just works, but less and less since new. Really disappointed.
Try removing all your CarPlay and BT profiles for this dongle and try installing it fresh again. See if that helps. Try and update if it doesn’t improve things.
Hi, will you please update me autoplay and car play 201 in one? I have
HAVAL h6 2021 and both are wired not wireless.

So are they worth it? If so which one should I go with?
They are the only easy way right now to get your wired CarPlay wireless. They can be a little unstable and compatibly can vary per vehicle type so best get from Amazon so you can try and have easy returns.
It is between the CarLinKit 3.0 amzn.to/3f3LzZll and Ottocast U2-Now amzn.to/3mRW9XJ. I swing more towards these two because you can buy them from Amazon.
Hey which one would u suggest if I have android and the mrs has apple and we share the csr every other day. So swap between the 2 systems quiet frequently
For your scenario it is between the U2-X (will require toggling between AA and CP each time before you connect) or an Android Os dongle that could do it a little more seamless but though and android layer so there’s more going on.
Do these dongles support multiple iphone users
Some do offer this with a menu on the boot screen. CarLinkit 2.0, 3.0 and mini, and CPlay2Air will offer this.
If I dont have android or CarPlay currently, would this carlinkit device only play google maps on my car screen? Lexus gs14

Look at the CarLinkit or MMB+ websites to check their compatibility list. Links in the description.
Hello! The most important question. Should the device have car play? If car play is not in the device, will these devices work?
No your system/stereo needs to have wired CarPlay for these to function.
is any variants to connect wireless Android Auto to Ford Sync 3?
There is a dongle called AAWireless that might work but it might only be for android audio wired systems. I’ve yet to be sent one for review to find out.
Otherwise the ApplePie Mini has wireless android auto support. Android 11 is required for wireless to work though.
Will any of these let you watch TH-cam or Netflix?
Only an android OS dongle will allow you to do that. Not wireless adapters.
Hi, my 2022 Isuzu D-Max supports MirrorLink, does any of this device work with mirrorlink? My phone has Android 11 and doesn't support MirrorLink.
None of these will work with mirror link other than the MMB dongles where screencast works to mirror the android to the CarPlay display. The experience isn’t that great though.
Just got a carlinkit based on this, one question though often shows as not connected on Bluetooth although still works?
BT is only used to pair to the dongle. After that the iPhone talks to it over WiFi. BT will disconnect once it’s been paired.
@@CarPlayLife cheers for that what is the wifi address of the dongle?
@@vincentscully9786 the address will vary I guess for security purposes. The only thing you can do is access the dongle settings via the address 192.168.50.2 in the browser on your iPhone that’s connected to the dongle

I recommend these two because you can buy them from Amazon and you'll have quickly and easy returns if they don't work on your vehicle's CarPlay system.
Which one is worth buying?
It’s depends on your desires. If you want just CarPlay. Get CarLinkit or MMB Plus. Plus will also allow streaming over hotspot for TH-cam only. If you want more functionality try the Android 9 MMB.
Hi Anthony. I still have my carlinkit 2.0 stuck in the red led only mode after failed update. Do you think this is a terminal condition. It worked fine till update. Thanks Doug
Hi, it depends if you can see the boot menu. Usually if you get no lights at all, then that’s a dead end. But if you have some signs of life on the dongle, then there might be a chance.

Yeah It doesn’t sound like it will be supported.
hello what software version do you have of the sync?
Most or all of them stopped at March this year. They have stoped updating over the air since thing on many of these dongles.
Seems like a lot of mucking around. Just plug your phone in using the cable and get the bonus of charging it at the same time??
Indeed. It’s not for everyone.
Very nice comparison. Thanks for the effort.
On the MMB+, do you have to reply to the 3 Carplay prompts at every boot or it is only on the first install ?
I tend to lean towards the Carlinkit 2.0, but I have to admit that that the boot screen is utterly ugly and looks out of place in a premium vehicle. Is there any ugly boot screen on the MMB+ ? If not, I will pay more for a more discreet boot.
Can you also confirm that the MMB+ as also 5Ghz WiFi ?
Thanks a lot for you precious help.
Hi, and thanks. The prompts was just down to a first install and detect of a new CarPlay system being connected.
Yes the boot is very ugly but it is there for a no more than 60 seconds before CarPlay initialises. MMB is more discrete as you can see in the video. I can’t confirm 5Ghz, but I am sure it is as their other older dongle was. Their webpage might explain and confirm that more for you. Hope this helps.
First Thank you for the Videos. Question: I have 2 customers husband and wife. Brand new cars. Wireless CarPlay built in. They only want one app on the screen. Music. No phone. No text messages. Basically want all other functions on the phone acts as if it’s not paired. Will these dongles let you delete factory apps by apple? My only solution thus far is to play music through FM transmitter. But then none of Apple Music shows up on display or controllable. I’ve paired it with CarPlay off and the system recognizes iPhone music great but still sends all data from the phone. Just in the cars infotainment language. I’m pulling my hair out. Lolol. Also read somewhere I could go into notifications in settings on iPhone and turn off CarPlay in notifications for phone and messages. Doesn’t work.
How about just Bluetooth audio to the car system. If they have wireless carplay built in, it must be modern enough to BT to it and control audio from the BT music player or via the app on their phone.

The system has to have CarPlay for these to work.
I am using a magnetic charging cable. Works great.
Nice idea. You don’t hear about that method often.
Can you tell me how to use Magnetic charging cable?
@@smooth1732 it’s basically a usb cable that you plug in a small magnetic lighting adapter into your iPhone port. This sits pretty flush to your iPhone and doesn’t stick out that much. Then there is a usb cable that plugs into your CarPlay usb port and the other end has a magnet connector that simply snaps to the magnet that’s connected to your iPhone. Once connected, charging (and data if the cable supports it) can flow. It puts less stress on your iPhone port, yet I don’t think the charging power is a strong as a direct connection, but it’s likely not that much different than wireless charging speeds.
Here is a link to a data version. Cheaper ones usually only supply power, not data, that’s needed for CarPlay to function. amzn.to/2TBXciC

Hello!!! Does it can install with Prius 2010 on original screen radio ?
If it has wired CarPlay. It’s possible.
@@CarPlayLife could u make some video tip for that?
I could, if someone gave me a Prius 😊
No, only cars from 2015 onwards have CarPlay, and a very select few 2015 models do since that’s when CarPlay was fully released. A 2010 model wouldn’t have it, you would have to retrofit the system. However, in old prius’ it would be very difficult since the screen is in a weird position. Sure it’s possible, but incredibly difficult.
Is that start up time for EVERY TIME you start your car?!
Yes pretty much.

Hello for 2013 Buick encore
Sorry can’t say. Best ask their support team.
I have had a CPLAY2AIR, and I could live with the delay on media playback. But when using for phone calls, it's useless.Talking to people ends up with total interruption of each others sentences, cause of the delay. Is this better in the CarLinkIt ?
All suffer with this and it also depends on the car system and microphone installed. Some don’t think it’s a problem and that’s either how they talk over the phone, that they don’t do many calls and for long periods, or perhaps it’s the car system that’s helping.
But overall that audio delay is the same for audio in calling. For some it’s enough to make calling over WiFi a frustration.
I guess a possible work around for this whilst keeping wireless CarPlay is looking for an android ai box that uses BT for calling/ voice input.
Some dongles did do that recently and I wonder if it’s their way to work around the WiFi delay. But it also introduces bugs when the audio won’t switch back well enough and you have music playback using the same connection and it sounds awful.
