I’ve gone through the set up process twice because I got a new phone and it was quick and easy both times and took about a minute to do. The device itself works almost perfectly. It connects in about 15-20 seconds when I get into my car. Occasionally it will not connect or show up in car play but simply unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes the problem. While using it you probably won’t notice much difference compared to having your phone plugged into your car. However, there is a slight delay in the sound so when you play or pause the music from your phone you will notice a 1-2 second delay. This delay doesn’t seem to affect phone calls. I’ve taken many phone calls while using this device and never noticed a delay that affects the call. I’ve loved using this product and even recommended it to my family and friends. My mom bought a device and it works great in her jeep, however she bought a 2nd one for her corvette which was not compatible. Other than that issue she has also loved her device and so have I. It makes it a lot easier and I imagine it’s a lot better for my phone as I don’t have it plugged in all the time while I drive. Review: Worked, but…. - Update 4/27/22: This dongle is now completely useless. Original review was about two to three weeks ago and since then, the problem of freezing up and losing connection has gotten worse. I’ve taken the unit out of my center storage area to ensure it does not overheat (see original details below) but that did absolutely nothing for it. Checking through other reviews here, it would appear that the average lifespan of this dongle is about 2.5 months. Way less in some cases. The fact that the return window is shorter than other products I’ve ever had to return may be a hint as to the reliability of this item. One thing is for sure… The company is making a killing at the price-point. Unacceptable in my opinion. I wouldn’t pay $40 for this. And with no ability to return it due to it failing outside the return window in most cases, our only recourse appears to be this review system. Downgrading to one star based on failure and absolutely no costumer support whatsoever. ——————————————————————— I’ve had this dongle in my 2021 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye for about 3 months. Initial connection on startup is fairly quick (about 10-15 seconds) and touchscreen response has a very slight delay of about 1-2 seconds, which is very tolerable. All CarPlay apps work perfectly fine while the unit is online. Pros: The “tether-free” aspect is great. I personally don’t like a spaghetti knot of cables all over my center console. One huge plus in my case is the advantage of control over certain functions that are not available (for safety reasons) when hardwire-connected to my car. Namely, selecting different playlists other than what is currently active on your phone at the time of connection. While hardwired, for example, if I had “Playlist A” active, all songs within that playlist could be manipulated fully (play, pause, skip, etc.) via the car’s touchscreen. But if I wanted to go from “Playlist A” to “Playlist B” it required me to take my phone out of my pocket and select the newly desired playlist. With this dongle, that goes away and you can fully bounce from playlist to playlist, and even type different location searches on apps like Waze or Maps without the need to pre-select any of that prior to your drive, directly on the touchscreen. Also, I simply leave this plugged into my center console storage compartment connected to an “always on” USB power source. The current draw is so low that I (thankfully) haven’t had any issues with battery draining so far. I have left it plugged in for 4 days straight without starting the car and, so far so good. Not having to constantly plug it in and unplug it every time makes things very convenient. Cons: In reasonably warmer temperatures (nothing too hot) after about 15 minutes or so, the unit freezes. All music stops and any routes I have active in my navigation apps cease. The unit pretty much dies and becomes unresponsive altogether. The only remedy is to unplug it for about 10 seconds and then plug it back in. It will then work fine for about 15 more minutes or so, and then the cycle continues. For short trips this wouldn’t be an issue, but with my commute being 45 minutes to an hour one way each day, this gets pretty annoying. It’s to the point that I am considering doing away with this and going back to hardwire connection. I have noted that this happens more when it is hot. Maybe the unit overheats and just ceases? In cooler temperatures, it does not happen too much, if at all. Overall, I am satisfied with how it works WHEN it works. I just wish the reliability was better. Of note, I have updated firmware and take extremely good care of this unit. ## Features - 2.Supported Vehicles and Phones: The car has been built-in Factory CarPlay. and compatible with i Phone 5 to 16 Pro Max.

I primarily use this in my 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander that only has wired CarPlay. This connects very fast to my iPhone 13pro Max. By the time I start the car and put it into gear, I already have music playing. For the 2022 outlander when you open the door with the car off, it will turn the USB port on which speeds up the connection by the time you get in and hit the ignition. That is also a minus because when I just need to get something out of it and I’m on my Bluetooth headphones, it will connect to Carlin kit automatically. This isn’t a big deal but gets annoying sometimes. I have also tested this on my daughters explorer with an aftermarket radio with wired CarPlay. Hers takes a little longer to link since you have to wait until you start the suv before the USB port has power. Music quality is great and sounds very clear. Maps is very responsive, I have not had any issues with lag with apple or google maps. People have complained about call quality not being as clear as Bluetooth, but that is not the adapters fault. Wired CarPlay sounds different than Bluetooth, it is something do with CarPlay in general. I am glad I gave this a try since some of the negative reviews had me worried. I am very happy with this so far! ## Frequently Bought Together - Carlinkit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter USB for Factory Wired CarPlay Cars (Model Year: 2015 to 2025), Wireless CarPlay Dongle Convert Wired to Wireless CarPlay - rgzhihuifz Type-C Male to USB3.0 Male Adapter，USB C to USB A 5G 3A Converter, USB 3.1 AM to CM Support Data Synchronization and Charging, Suitable for Mobile Phones, Computers,2-Pack - AreMe 90 Degree USB 3.0 Adapter 2 Pack, Left and Right Angle USB A Male to Female Converter Extender for PC, Laptop, USB A Charger, Power Bank and More (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/249722906-carlinkit-3-0-wireless-carplay-adapter-usb-for-factory-wired](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/249722906-carlinkit-3-0-wireless-carplay-adapter-usb-for-factory-wired) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
