OTTOCAST Mini 2025 2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Adapter, 5GHz WiFi, Auto Connect for 2016+ Cars

This little device set up in less than 30 seconds and appears to work flawlessly. Connects quickly after the car starts, works well with very little lag. HAd I known this was possible for such a reasonable price I would have bought one much sooner.

I purchased a super cheap adapter before but the signal strength was so weak it wouldn't work with my phone in my pocket. This adapter has great signal strength. It has worked with all the famy apple phones without issues. The size of this adapter is tiny and will fit any opening in the car. I didn't need an extension cables like my old model. I have had zero lag issues so far. This adapter has worked with every app that I needed it to. It was super easy to connect to my phone and my car. It has all the typical adjustments and settings.

First, the product itself does the job. However, the adapter for the USB C doesn't offer the right angle like the USB A to A does. I have found only ONE right angle adapter on the market that has the USB A configuration that will allow the dongle to face forward so you have access to the power button. If the adapter for the USB C included with the product was right angle (it definitely minimizes the chance for the dongle to accidentally get damaged from getting knocked out of the plug because it sticks out), I would rate it higher The other issue is that even when you open the car door and get out of the car, the dongle continues to try to reconnect to the phone for a couple of minutes until the car completely powers down. I have even used the notification to "disconnect", but the dongle overrides the disconnect command on the phone. The only options I have found (so far) to address this is to 1. Unplug the dongle before getting out of the car, or 2. Just deal with the connect/disconnect cycling for the couple minutes you're within range of the car (which 30-40 feet is STILL within range). Fix the issues mentioned above and I'll upgrade to 5 stars UPDATE: I have changed the rating to one star because of my latest trip to Dallas. The dongle turned itself OFF for no reason (ultimately blanking my car screen AND my phone screen) leaving me with ZERO directions during critical interchanges. The dongle light would turn red, then off completely, then the blue light would turn back on, but blink. This happened EIGHT TIMES in less than 10 minutes. Don't waste your money, unless you don't care when the dongle turns itself off whenever it wants to at the most inopportune time.

I've been using this for a few weeks now, and it has worked great - allowing me to keep the phone in my pocket, or attach to a charger if needed. It does take a few seconds to activate when starting the car, but the same was true of the other brand I had used in the past - however, once powered-up and connected, the connection stays stable and works each time I start the car. The only negative is the process to update the firmware is poorly documented for Android devices, leaving out a step and being misleading in another. I found a walk-thru video posted online by someone else with the adapter; and once I watched that, it was easier to update. Overall, well worth the money, and recommended.

Works exactly as advertised. Have them in my Kia EV6 and Kia Niro EV, and when I turn on the power, they connect up almost immediately to the iPhone, and the music I was listening to starts as it should. No wireless lag (unlike the unit I bought 3 years ago from a different vendor). Makes it work exactly like the head unit came with Wireless.

I ended up buying this after the mini slim cube one wouldn't physically fit in my 2020 tundra. This one fit like it was meant to be there and it's super easy to connect to. My only issue is that there is a bit of a lag between the device and the phone. Nothing I would dock any stars for though because for my purposes all it has to do is play music and run gps. I also had an issue with my Apple car play in my truck when I used a wired connection, my phone calls would not work properly, but this device fixed that problem entirely, idk how look. I'm super happy with it

Bought 2. One for CarPlay on a Mazda cx-5 and the other to replace a dead Moto MA-1 for Android Auto on a VW GTI. First one failed to connect bluetooth successfully after multiple attempts and resets in the CX-5 and took a few tries on the VW but eventually got it going. 2nd one connected straight away on the cx-5. Works as expected on both now.

I rarely write reviews but this product is beyond my expectations. The sound is improved and it works seamlessly. Great buy

Funcionou parcialmente, hora conectava, hora não conectava. Devolvi.

Working good

Excelente producto, se conecto y vínculo de forma rápida, sin ningún inconveniente y solucionando un problema con el que tenía años. Llevo 1 semana con él.

Tavsiye ederim.

Works surprisingly well, easy to connect and there are no issues when swapping drivers. The connector simply picks up who accessed it last and reconnects. Changing to another's phone is as simple as a short press on the button. Compact.
