TL;DR: Go wireless with this adapter for cars that have a wired Apple CarPlay connection — on sale for $49.99 (reg. $89.99).
If you have CarPlay in your car, chances are you’re already interested in modernizing your gadgets. But you may have gone with the wired version, either because the wireless one hadn’t been invented yet, or you preferred it at the time. But what if you could have the option to do either one whenever you feel like it?
The Ottocast Wireless CarPlay Adapter is an open-box model (which is still a new item, it just means it was returned, repackaged, or was leftover inventory) that automatically connects to your iPhone within seven seconds of ignition, and it also supports WiFi, voice control, steering wheel buttons, the touchscreen, and knob controls. For a limited time, it’s on sale for $49.99.
You can connect this adapter to your car via the USB Type-A to C or Type-C to C cables that are included, and then have your phone free of wires. You don’t even have to take your iPhone out of your pocket or purse. It works on car models from 2016-2024 and is compatible with iOS 10 and above. (Check out this video to see how it works.)
This adapter connects your iPhone to 5G WiFi for fast performance, as well as Bluetooth, all without the need for a cord connecting your phone to the car. Once it connects, CarPlay takes care of all of the display, voice controls, and hands-free operation for you.
And if you wanted to switch back to using your regular wired version (let’s say you wanted to plug it in to charge it), you could just unplug your adapter. The beauty of this product is having the choice.
