Turn Wired CarPlay or Android Auto into Wireless

The 4smarts 2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto Adapter is a clever little device designed to remove one of the everyday annoyances of modern driving – having to plug your phone into the car every time you get in.

If your vehicle already supports wired Apple CarPlay or wired Android Auto, this adapter can convert that connection to wireless, allowing your compatible smartphone to connect automatically without plugging in a cable.

What Does It Actually Do?

The adapter plugs into the USB connection in a compatible vehicle that would normally be used to connect your smartphone.

After the initial pairing, your phone can connect wirelessly when you get into the car. You can then continue using your car's existing CarPlay or Android Auto interface for compatible functions such as:

• Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze

• Spotify and other music services

• Phone calls

• Messages

• Podcasts and audiobooks

• Siri or Google Assistant

• Other compatible CarPlay and Android Auto apps

The big difference is that your phone can stay in your pocket or bag.

2-in-1 – Apple & Android

A particularly useful feature is support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

This makes it a great choice for households where one person uses an iPhone and another uses an Android smartphone, or if you change phone platforms in the future.

No Need to Replace Your Car Stereo

This adapter doesn't replace your existing entertainment system or add a new screen.

Instead, it works with the CarPlay or Android Auto system already installed in your vehicle, simply changing the connection between your smartphone and the car from wired to wireless.

Compact Design

The adapter is small and unobtrusive, so once connected it can be left in the vehicle without creating lots of additional clutter.

The smart silver finish also gives it a more premium appearance than many of the basic black adapters on the market.

Important Compatibility Information

Your vehicle must already support wired Apple CarPlay and/or wired Android Auto for this adapter to work.

It generally cannot add CarPlay or Android Auto to a vehicle that doesn't already have the feature. Customers should check their vehicle and smartphone compatibility before purchasing.

Why Buy a Wireless Adapter?

If you regularly make short journeys, plugging and unplugging your phone every single time can become surprisingly annoying.

With a wireless adapter installed, getting into the car becomes much simpler – start the car, let your phone connect and use the familiar interface on your vehicle's display.

ITsCool Verdict

The 4smarts 2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto Adapter is a small upgrade that can make an older wired system feel considerably more modern.

It's especially useful if your car already has a good infotainment system and you don't want to replace anything – you simply want to get rid of the cable.
