Not Your Ordinary Carplay Dongle! In Depth Review of New Android Computer for your Car!

- REMEMBER: This kit doesn't ADD Apple Carplay or Android Auto, it makes your EXISTING wired connection into wireless and adds many other features!
Wireless Carplay dongle's have been around for quite some time now. The Joyeauto MMB 11 AI Box is more than a CarPlay dongle, it does a ton of other stuff. It also has the capability to do wireless Android Auto, stream various video apps, play games, store media, and even run other useful car related apps.
In this video I give a thorough review of the MMB 11 AI Box. This one finally works well!
Jet Fuel Only subscribers can get $30 off the price of the MMB 11 AI Box by using promo code "JETFUEL" at checkout.

Amazing video
You covered every aspect of it hats off!
Well done buddy
Thanks!
The price of this one is way cheaper than others. And you gave it a good review, im definitely gonna get it
Nice review! Good to know it’s glitchy on 2016 Cadillacs. I’m not really sure the extra features would be any more useful to me than the standalone dongles are. The CPLAY2air works surprisingly well in my ELR, and you’re right that the software updates have helped. The only strange thing I notice is it’ll occasionally keep playing audio for a few seconds after the car is turned off and the door is opened. It does eventually shut off, though. (Crazy to see what a ripoff of CarPlay the Android UI is!)
Awesome review!! I really like your videos. New subscriber.
Thank you Don!
Very cool video, now your gonna make me get one for my GT4. Lol,,,, on my Land Rover Defender, i just received the new update and now i have “wireless:Apple Play. But i just have to get one and try it on my cars. I can see it really getting used in my Panamera on long trips … Thanks Again, Stay Safe. Tom C.
Interesting video. I bought a Carlinkit from Aliexpress which may be a fake as it doesn’t work (CarPlay). However, after watching your video, maybe I have to wait to give it time to boot up.
Great review! The issue you describe with google assistant, is that just with the app on the device itself? In other words, if I use google assistant on my phone, connected via wireless AA, will that work?
I think it will work just fine via AA. I had not tried since I don’t use an android phone. Surely it’s just a flaw in the android box
I just used the same OBD2 reader this morning on my wife's car to reset get check engine light
Great informational video, Buddy. Maybe I missed it, but can you tell me whether the Steering Wheel Control is fully functional with this device? 2nd, when operating, how hot does the device get? Last, have you or do you know any issues it may have with Sirius XM radio and Audible type programs? Thank you.
JT
Unfortunately my Porsche doesn’t have steering wheel controls to test. It doesn’t get as hot as previous versions because it has vents. I did not try those apps only the podcast and a couple music apps.
@@JetFuelOnly thank you for the information... Take care and stay safe
Great review !!!...I have a question, how is the performance of the streaming using the hotpots WIFI from your iPhone?...is this acceptable?
Yes that works fine! The only downside is if you want to use CarPlay or android auto you have to stop using hotspot. CP and AA use their own wifi connection to your phone.
@@JetFuelOnly Oh, is good to know, waiting for my unit to start testing...thank you for your fast response !!!
I was wondering if your video could be the solution to my problem: I have a 2017 Mazda Miata and recently the Infotainment system went bonkers. Though I can receive stations, it no longer remembers my FAVORITES. Also, the system seems to have a mind of its own since it will change screens without me touching the screen or navigation knobs. When that happens, my USB mp3 player stops playing so the only audio I can get is from the last FM station I requested.
Mazda refuses to make good on this since it is out of warranty and told me I have to replace it (around $1,500!).
So my question to you is the Android Auto dongle that you suggested in your video even an option for me?
Thanks,
Dan
Just got the Ottocast after returning iwiner. Only thing I’m not crazy about is the delay on the phone ring.
Maybe google assistant is not able to hear you cause it doesn’t have a mic, and it’s not connected to the phone via car play or aa. I like this product.
Hey there, just bumped into your video ! GREAT explanation...seems I have a more recent version of your box, but same concept, functionnality, appeareace...when you say that carplay wireless app (my case autokit) launches, it crashes the wifi connection of the box, either on hotspot to the phone, or to a ssid at home...but, I was able to launch carplay wireless, THEN connect the box bluetooth to the phone, enabling internet access..this approach seems to enable ALL functionnality ...connection speed is variable though...have you tried with a sim card in the box ? so we dont have to wifi to a phone or bluetooth÷internet access ?
Thanks for the feedback. Is yours rubbing android 11? My box doesn’t have a SIM card slot. :(
Great review!! Can you tell me where I can buy this in UK please?
I think the seller ships world wide since they are based in Beijing.
Do you have any comments on the 2022 model of this device shown on the companies website? The new model is the 2022 MMB MTK Android AI box
Don’t know anything about it except it’s running Android 9. I’ll look into it
Hi, good review. I have a question, i bougth a carlinkkit cpc200 in febuary and it work well in my 2017 silverado. I now own a 2002 f250 with sync 4 and wireless carplay. The dongle doesnt work any more sime like it only work with wired carplay. I used to watch netflix and youtube on it, does other dongle work with wireless carplay?
Thanks for your time
No I think they haven’t sorted that yet. You still have to plug in for those functions.
Gr8 video! Has anyone tried this with OBDeleven or TorquePro apps? Do you reckon the iPhone can be connected to the OBD dongle and the mirror screen through the MBB? Thanks
I was able to get the torque app to work on the newer model. See my latest two adapter videos. Yes you could mirror it in. That’s probably the better way
Awesome review. I have been quite tossed up with my decision whether to just stick with wireless dongle or android chip inclusive dongle as it ultimately allows TH-cam Netflix Hulu functionality. This review provided much better in-depth review. Quick question if you know. With ordinary wireless or wired adaptor dongles,, Apple Music or Spotify playlist is what’s on your connected phone. If I use this dongle, does anyone know if my kids in the back or guest passenger also connect iPhone via bt to play their playlist while I use my iPhone tethering for Google map with this CarPlay dongle? My teen kids hate my 90s tunes playlist while I use google map Nav wire connected to CarPlay currently as I hate my factory installed outdated nav system.
Many dongles can only handle one BT connection at a time. This one included as far as I know. So that means only one phone at a time. Does that answer your question?
I like
Is CarPlay performance depending on vehicle CMU or AI BOX?
I own MX-5 ND installed CarPlay wireless dongle but the performance is bit slow. If this device makes faster without upgrading CMU.
It would be great if I see same video for Vince’s MX-5.
I would say it’s dependent on either the cars processor or the connection speed of the USB. Def not the box as it is smooth operating on the Porsche. I wanted to try it on his car but he’s been very just. I’m sure I’ll get a chance soon though! All other boxes and dongles have crashed his CMU.
It’s really cool but I am worried it won’t work properly with my Mercedes Benz because they still use dials and buttons rather than touch screens. Any thoughts?
Your MBZ has CarPlay already and no touch screen?
Will video only work when the vehicle is in park. Curious if I can sync the front screen with the rear monitor for kids while the car is in motion
It works while driving. Not sure how your car’s system works with syncing to rear screens but if you have HDMI plug for them in the back you can connect it there
For some reason none of these mmb review videos talk about how to use your phone for making and receiving calls alongside the mmb. Like do you BT pair your phone with the car or with the mmb or what? What happens if a call comes in while I am watching netflix?
I just tested it for you. When using the android interface of the MMB my car knew I was also connected to a “CarPlay device”. So it let the MMB handle the call. It actually completely disconnected Bluetooth from my car. When I actually operate the CarPlay side of the MMB device - calls are handled through CarPlay like normal CarPlay connection.
After disconnecting the MMB (by pulling the USB out) the car automatically grabbed my phones BT again
@@JetFuelOnly Thanks for testing!!!! I actually just got this box and haven't had a chance to play with it much. And I got a new car that has android auto 2 days ago. stoked to get this all working. thanks again
I wonder if this will work with a portable CarPlay unit. I have a portable 8.8” touch screen that I made to look stock as much as possible. It’s actually pretty good, surprisingly. I really want to be able to watch videos of all kind. Mine can’t. But it has a usb a port on the side. I can mirror my phone with what I have but the audio is absolutely terrible. And I have it connected via aux (for mirror only) the rest of the standard wireless CarPlay is through Bluetooth. It won’t let me use the Bluetooth for mirroring for some reason.
Good question! Try it and let us know!
can you watch the "TH-cam TV" app through Carplay and not mirroring? (one less step to go though if you can...)
No. CarPlay has to shut down to do any video streaming
I have a 2019 Camry that has wired apple carplay but no android auto. Does this box allow my android phone to connect to the box and use android auto?
That's a good question, I think not.
I want to buy the products so I can put my kids watch his stuff while I’m driving but I have 2015 Cadillac CTS and I’m not sure if it will work since the compatibility says 2017-2022. Also I that you Updated your HMI to 2.5 HMI.
Yeah won’t work in HMI 2.5. Not enough processor. Thanks for watching!
Is this just working on newer cars or will it work with a 2007 Lexus LS 460?
You must have wired CarPlay/Android auto capable car
that startup sound and no option to turn it off or customize it to something else is a big no or me. thank for the review
Start up sound can be turned off. Animation cannot.
@@JetFuelOnly thank you for updating me.
Interesting. Does it device work with head unit that does not have Apple CarPlay and android auto ?
No. Only way it can get to a screen without CarPlay or AA is HDMI cable and then it just functions as an android box.
Will this work on the front and back screens at the same time?
That’s is a good question. I’ve never used a car that had multiple screens. I’m assuming not because your car probably doesn’t show CarPlay in the rear does it?
Hi would this box work with my 2017 chevy equinox mylink system
I haven’t tested on every model and I don’t sell these. With that said, it’s supposed to work on any car with a wired apple CarPlay connection. If you don’t have Apple CarPlay already you can’t use this box.
I have a 2019 Honda Pilot and the audio starts up when plugged in but there’s no video. Don’t know what the problem is.
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?
There have been a few updates too
I'm an Amdroid user. What Dongle would you recommend for a '21 RAM 1500?
I haven’t personally tested this but it has good reviews. Remember you must already have wired android auto capability in the car. Good luck, let me know how it is!
amzn.to/3R0uroI
@Jet Fuel Only thanks for the response. I would like a device that plays Netflix, TH-cam and be able to download other apps from the Playstore. I've been looking at MBB, Magic Box, Carlinkit. Thanks in advance for any help.
Oh ok. Well go with the new MMB max. I’ve been testing it. Way better interface. Supposed to take a SIM card but haven’t got that to work with US carriers yet. HDMI not an option yet either but will be.
www.joyeauto.com/product/mmb-max-mediatek-carplay-android-box-sim-tf-card-youtube-netflix-carplay-android-auto/
Wonder if it would work on 2013 Ford Focus ST.
You gotta have CarPlay already … I’m assuming 2013 does not
@jetfuelonly how was your shipping time and did it arrive fast for that $30 shipping
I don’t recall how fast it came unfortunately. I believe it was surprisingly quick
"no lag" instantly lags while swiping pages
The swiping isn't lagged timing wise but the swipe requires more effort than say an iphone does. You can't just flick a little with your finger, you gotta slide your finger an actual couple inches or so.
When I try to use it Google Assistant doesn't work. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I found it works after you type something in. After that it responds to voice commands. But it’s only temporary
Can you watch TH-cam or mirror while vehicle is moving?
yes!
It’s literally one of the main reasons people would even buy this product 😆
I’m trying to find out if it will work on my 2022 Toyota Prius
Wish I could tell you but maybe someone will chime in
If you car with factory wired carplay function, then it will works.
$300 plus seems a little high compared to others. Does this device allow you to play apps that don't with the cell phone connected via USB with Android Auto?
The android box side of the unit runs pretty much all android apps on your screen. When I’m CarPlay and AA mode it’s standard features. There are many companies selling similar products. Buy wherever you feel like
does any of these features work with non-carplay cars?
No
Will this work with a aftermarket head unit?
If it has CarPlay or android auto then it should
Does this box also do wireless Android Auto?
Yes!
Isn’t there an amazon link to it please?
Not this brand but this one seems similar: amzn.to/3TxYK78
anyone know if sky go works ?
Would it work on boss radio
Does it have apple carplay or android auto capability? If yes, then likely. Check with Joyeauto.com
Does the box need internet to mirror your phone
No it’s a direct wireless connection from your phone to the unit
Is this better than the Stream to your car box ?
It’s likely the same product honestly. Will have to compare the processor and memory specs
Has anyone tried this for mustang Mach E 2022
Does this android box can works with volvo s60 year 2021?
Please check with Joyeauto. But the minimum requirement is your car must have WIRED CarPlay or android auto.
@@JetFuelOnly yes my car have built in wired carplay and android auto
Then it SHOULD work. But verify with the seller
Will it work with the 981 PCM?
The 981 doesn’t have CarPlay. You have to have CarPlay for this to work. You have other options though. Look into
Joyeauto or this www.smart-tuning.co.uk/product-page/porsche-cayenne-2011-2017-wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-retrofit
@@JetFuelOnly thank you 💐
Where can I buy it
Link in description
will this work on a 2021 Honda Accord sport with android auto
Probably.
The reason I asked is because the 1st one I paid a 150 the 2nd 1 I paid a 110 and this 1 that you're talking about is 300 just A little curious money is not an issue
@@tonytighttucker did the others work on your car?
@@JetFuelOnly one worked for a couple days and then it just stopped Connected to my phone that's AAWIRELESS the 2nd one when I 1st hooked it up it connected and then it just stopped I didn't even actually get to use it that was carlinkit 4.0
Where do I buy 1 of those devices?
Link in description
Isn't there apps that play mirror ?? Why will you buy a dongle 🤔
Don’t understand your question. The mirror function requires you to control the app on your phone. The dongle let’s you run the app on the screen with full control. If you are just looking to watch videos, there are cheaper dongles to do that however no car can mirror from the factory
How about latency?
In what? Music? Only thing I saw was when skipping a song it takes a second but that is likely due to streaming music delay.
Will it work on a 2016 Nissan Titan XD
Do you have CarPlay already?
@@JetFuelOnly no
@@lesliemanlm then it will not work.
0:58. Intro starts here. Real video at 3:30.
Does this dongle allow you show all your apps like CarPlay on ios
Not completely sure what you are asking. All android apps loaded onto the device will show. When I’m CarPlay mode it’s standard CarPlay functionality and features.
@@JetFuelOnly I was asking carbridge allows you to view all the apps not just the standard apps . It allows you to see videos TH-cam Netflix etc so I was asking does this allow you to do this without carbridge app.
It allows you to see those apps that are loaded onto the device (not the ones on your phone).
I just looked at car bridge. Didn’t know about it. Will need to look into it if it’s any good!
A little research says carbridge may be a scam. I’m not touching it
Also what’s the Newest Version of the MMB ?? Is there an MMB 12 ??
No I believe there's only 11 at least from Joyeauto
Should iPhone users be using something different?
Nope this is fine for iPhone users like me
at $300 that's way higher than others... probably the most expensive wireless adapter i've seen so far
I think most are close to that price that have these features. Remember there are multiple levels of these adapters.
@@JetFuelOnly but they’re charging a really premium price for a product that still has issues… they’re charging $300 not $30-100…
I have one of those and its glitchy AF, sound is worse then plug in, after about 10min of plying music it starts to have annoying static, startup is hit and miss as well, not worth the money honestly, i would return it, but it came from china
Yeah I had that problem in one car but the other it works perfect!
Even with apple carplay my TH-cam videos sound doesn’t sync.
Going into a extra device can’t be helpful but if the box has a stand alone TH-cam app maybe better
Can I connect CCTV
I don’t know. The HDMI port is output only.
2018 Acura RLX??
Does it have wired CarPlay or android auto?
Why doesn't my phone do this???????????
After playing with this for the last few days, I hope I can save people $300. Do not buy the MMB 11 Plus CarPlay:
No refunds
No answers from support
They remove negative reviews!!!
Have to manually turn on wifi every time (this is the worst thing)
Have to manually connect BT most of the time
No way to customize home screen, defaults to carplay instead of android auto
No documentation
No instructions on whether to BT pair phone with car or with device
Even with BT paired with device, android auto does not work most of the time
The setting to get GPS from the car does not work
Incoming phone calls play static instead of ringtones
No way to answer calls from steering wheel
Touching the screen while using google maps takes 5-10 seconds to register the touch
Casting doesn't work without an external network
5:15. Seems to have some lag.
That’s not the lag I was talking about, but I was worried about was how other old units had audio lag. That screen lag was more about is how it’s set to sense your fingers. That programming can be improved I think.
No watching videos while driving, not safe! But then why have access to videos on the car's infotation screen? There's no point with these kinds of things, can never have what you want.
The driver doesn’t have to watch… but your passengers can.
To ride a 2021 Porsche Cayman and use glitchy Chinese android something. That is so odd to me.
The wireless CarPlay is my main use but if you want the other functionality there’s no other way to have it.
@@JetFuelOnlyTo be honest I can't imagine what extra I need. Maybe Chromecast streaming and that's it.
For sure. My passenger may like the video but I just need to drive and love CarPlay. Really is the best infotainment to me. Never use the Porsche maps unless I don’t have a data connection.
And why is it so expensive to the competitor
Link to competitor?
I was just asking a question I have no links of competitor I had 2 of them so far and they did not work properly AAA wireless and carlinkit for they worked for the 1st few days then that's it
Oh ok. There are 3 different levels of these types of products. Wireless CarPlay adapter. Wireless CarPlay adapter with mirror link and this kind with wireless CarPlay and multimedia box
What is best to get to mirror my pixel for Uber or Lyft driver APS?
If you have an android auto capable car this device will do it. Also their slightly cheaper version does as well I think.
2009 Acura TSX. ❔❓
Only cars that have wired CarPlay or Android Auto already
225 Pounds OMG
178 bucks man far out lol
This product cost $300 not worth buying at all
bro you look stoned
Thanks! That’s what all the ladies say!
these type of products are asking for trouble. Passengers should be the ONLY one to use this to watch Netflix, HBO, Disney, etc. In which case, you might as well just use a iPad with a phone hotspot. Especially at this steep price
