- In this video I unbox and share my initial thoughts/impression with the CarlinKit 5.0 wireless CarPlay adapter! Is it worth the price? Is the lag from a wireless adapater much worse than native wireless compatibality? Tune in to find out!

If you do end up purchasing this device, make sure to update the firmware by following the instructions on the link here - th-cam.com/video/aEre5-h_EVI/w-d-xo.html.
It has a significant improvement in connection time, GPS accuracy, and any lag.
Short version - without the update, I wasted a lot of time trying to make it work. Worse yet, trying to update after all that was problematic with getting stuck at 1 percent, later 57 percent, then back to 3 percent (separate attempts) and so on. Finally had to wipe some settings off my phone and then the update went very well. In fact, after the update, the results were vrey instant and no issues with a few times entering the car. I only suggest the company make an app for phone or computer to accept the update download and then transfer over to the device. If this last try did not work I was ready to send it back for a refund. Right now, I really enjoy it and it works wonderfully.
any special config for the subaru, to limit audio/video lag, start boot time, connection loss settings cause of the radars or special channels? as i'am about to try it on 2 subies✌️and 1 VW Tiguan
bro the content in this video is one of the best on utube, keep rocking 🤘🤘🤘❤
Appreciate the kind words!
There's nothing that I can speak of related to Subaru as a whole - the lag itself comes from the wireless connection. It's totally fine for overall navigation, podcasts, music streaming.
Separate from the tech, my first car was a VW and I have absolutely loved the switch to Subie. I feel like I'm driving a tank through all sorts of weather.
Whats your iOS version and Carlinkit 5.0 firmware version?
For my ios not working at all
I'm currently on iOS 17.3 - when I set up CarlinKit I was on 17.2.1. It seems to be working just fine, if not better on 17.3.
The firmware version for CarlinKit is 2024.01.18.1053
I found this great video detailing how to manually update here.

I hope this helps!
Thanks for the video
I just got it.
For $50 it’s a steal with the sales price
@@Solarium- That's a steal at that price, nice job!
I highly recommend following the above link for update instructions. I've seen a significant improvement in connection time, GPS accuracy, and any lag.
thnx alot on the video and the review i've the same Subi's headunit like u
- it has a built in GPS if u used it through carlinkit instead of the phone's GPS does it improve ur phone battery life?
- i wonder if u have any quality call issue through the mic?
hope 2 see along time review , as i might receive my unit on april
I'm happy to share some additional thoughts! I've been using this device ever since I unboxed it. Overall, I still love it and would recommend it.
- I typically don't use the built in Subaru navigation since I've gotten spoiled with real time traffic data from google/apple maps.
- Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto does take a significant toll on your battery. It is great for short drives, but if I am on a longer drive I will still plug in my device
- I have seen no issues with mic quality whatsoever. Calls, navigation guidance, and music all come through just fine
- There is a slight lag time when changing songs. It is maybe 1/2 second longer than when using a wire. It is not big enough of a nuisance to not use it in my opinion. If you play a video though (safely of course), there is a significant delay between the video being shown and audio broadcasted
I hope this helps!
