Wireless CarPlay Adapter – Plug-and-Play CarPlay Dongle

Turn a compatible wired CarPlay connection into a wireless iPhone connection with this plug-in adapter. It is designed for a vehicle that already has wired CarPlay, letting you use that existing system without connecting a cable directly to the phone for each journey. It is useful for everyday trips when you want the CarPlay interface on the vehicle’s screen while reducing the phone-cable routine.

The adapter plugs into the vehicle’s CarPlay USB connection using its short USB-A lead. A USB-C adapter provides a connection option for a suitable USB-C CarPlay port. The compact body stays near the vehicle’s USB socket, using the existing infotainment system rather than adding another display or replacing the head unit.

Once connected with a compatible iPhone, wireless CarPlay provides access to familiar supported functions such as maps, music and calls through the car’s display. The dashboard view brings navigation and audio information together, making the conversion useful for the same activities you already perform through wired CarPlay. Siri voice control can use the vehicle’s original microphone for compatible CarPlay functions.

The adapter also supports the original CarPlay control methods. Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, those may include the touchscreen, a console control knob or steering-wheel controls. Keeping the existing control arrangement means you can continue using the interface that already belongs to the vehicle while changing the way the phone connects.

Compatibility requires an existing suitable wired CarPlay system and a supported iPhone running iOS 10 or later. The adapter supports online updates, providing a route for software updates to the device. Its main purpose is straightforward: bring wireless iPhone connectivity to a compatible wired CarPlay setup, keeping the maps, music and calling functions on the screen and controls you already use.
