Wireles CarPlay & Android Auto

[bethamari]

Hi all,

We are having a T6.1 converted currently, having the USB-C ports moved to the glovebox as we know we want to connect and hideaway a kit to make the CarPlay wireless. I’ve seen a few kits but they seem to do either iPhone or Android, and we would want to be connecting both.

The OTTOCAST, CPlay2Air and most Carlinkits seem to be iPhone only? The only ones I can see so far that do both seem to be https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09H5LDCKX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_PBAZQGJG8KC01KRQH3E8 & https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MD56HL5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_NSM5AZPTVMKTQCNSB644

Does anyone have any recommendations of one that can have both iPhones and Android phones connected to it for wireless CarPlay? Thanks!

Very good question. I have bought three Carlinkit 2.0 dongles. They work great, but CarPlay only I believe.

This guy on YouTube does loads of reviews on different dongles.

Thought the 6.1 with disco er media in it is already wireless android and apple.
Have seen a you tube video on it. Leighton vans..

Only if it’s upgraded Discover Media unit. The standard is wired only.

We had a Carlinkit Mini AI box which could do both wireless Android and Apple as a solution, but we found the audio would begin to crackle after a few songs so we have returned it and are just using wires instead now. Far more reliable and due to the position, they don’t get in the way like we thought they might.

You can certainly buy 3rd party wireless CarPlay dongles. I’ve been happy with my two Carlinkit 2.0.
