Review: Carplay and Android Auto with no wires - This USB adapter allows you to use both wired and wireless Carplay and wired and wireless Android Auto on Android devices. It requires the Autokit app installed. I'm using this with a UGODE PX3 Android 7.1 head unit in a 2011 BMW X5. I plugged it into a USB port on the Android head unit and downloaded and installed the Autokit app off the CarlinKit site. Initially I couldn't get wireless Android Auto working. The Bluetooth connection would keep disconnecting. It would keep trying over and over. It ended up being the firmware on the USB adapter wasn't up to date and the latest app didn't give me the option to update it. I downloaded a version of the app from a CarlinKit store site which I think was a slightly older version. This version let me update the firmware on the adapter and update the app itself to the latest version. After this, wireless Android Auto started working. The adapter and the app are working well now. Wired Carplay and wired Android Auto worked well from the beginning. It's pretty solid and stays connected to my phone. No skips or disconnects and navigating in Carplay and Android Auto is pretty responsive. When I start up the car in the mornings, the Autokit app automatically starts with the Android head unit and automatically connects to my phone and starts playing music. Sometimes the resolution is off with a black bar above the Autokit screen and I have to close and restart the Autokit app. I think this is a quirk of the Android head unit. I'll try to set a Tasker task to kill and restart the Autokit app when I get the chance. My actual Android head unit is set up with minimal data and email syncing and its main purpose is to display Carplay or Android Auto. I use my phone through Android Auto for all my needs while driving. There's an option to output audio through the headunit aux output or through Bluetooth. I think the Bluetooth option actually has little to no delay compared to the aux output. My phone connects to the CarlinKit adapter Bluetooth and the BMW OEM headunit Bluetooth and routes or bridges them. This works very well to bring wireless Carplay and Android Auto to my 2011 BMW.
Review: Frustration inducing - In the year that I have owned this I think I have spent 10+ hours fussing with getting it to work, trying to figure out why it stopped working, and cursing the day I purchased this thing. Yes it does occasionally work. For me it's been more reliable wireless than wired. When it works It's everything I wanted, Android Auto on my screen. Then 40 minutes later it stops and it doesn't come back to working until a few days down the road when I feel like being punished again and try it. It often takes a while to connect, which fools you into sitting there watching the screen, only for it never to connect. I unplug the device and replug and it sometimes comes back, sometimes no. I cannot determine why or when it will work. Same S23Ultra, same radio, same procedure, varying results. I'd love some support to get this thing to be more reliable, but at this point it's just not worth the aggravation each time I attempt to use it

Thank you.

**Q: Radio app of android head unit crashes when Autokit is connected to phone.  Is there any fix?**
A: Hello,
Thank you for contacting me
If you encounter the following situation when using the wireless connection function of AutoKit series products, please try to change the Bluetooth/WiFi name of the product:
● AutoKit can display the Bluetooth name, but the screen keeps "spinning" and never enters wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.

You can try to solve the following methods
1, open the phone WiFi list, find the AutoKit, Loadkey, or Auto**** named WiFi/Bluetooth name, remember them;
2, click the "gear" icon in the upper left corner of AutoKit settings;
3, select "Advanced Settings";
4, click the "Advanced Settings" text at the top of the interface ten times in a row to open the Bluetooth/WiFi modification option;
5, the phone just searched the box WIFI name to fill in the Bluetooth/WiFi options, save;
6, individual cases, after modifying the Bluetooth WiFi, can not find the modified Bluetooth WiFi, at this time you need in the settings - advanced settings - reset
7, If the above 2 methods can not solve the connection problem, please upgrade the apk and box hardware online!
8. Upgrade the version of your cell phone.
Note: Custom Bluetooth/WiFi name can use letters, numbers, do not use symbols/emoji.

**Q: Is bluetooth required for wireless display?  I want to connect bluetooth directly to the head unit, but still have video transmitted to the head unit.**
A: Hello.
Thank you for your contact.
Refer to the video connection tutorial.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome upgrade from wired only version
*by P***K on January 20, 2025*

I had a wired-only version for many years and finally got time to upgrade to this new version that allows wireless CarPlay. The installation process was a breeze after I connected the Android head unit to WiFi for a bit and synced time. Without that step, I could not really install anything at all. I also could not install the Box Helper directly from the USB dongle. I had to copy the APK file to the SD card of the head unit and install it from there, which took just seconds. Connecting my iPhone was a breeze, and the difference was night and day. I do not know if it is the new HW or a new version of the AutoKit app (or both), but the result is a much faster and sharper image. Yay, no more USB cable hassle! Job well done!
