Jemluse Wireless CarPlay Adapter for Apple - Stable Fast Connection for Convert Factory Wired to Wireless CarPlay Dongle Cars for iPhone - No Latency from iOS 10+ to Screen w/USB C(Gold)

In general, I like this unit a lot. I now leave my phone in my pocket, and it automatically connects to AirPlay if I have bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on my phone (which I normally do, but sometimes don't). It works well ... I have only two quibbles with it, neither of which are cause by the device, but they may affect your interest in purchasing one: 1) If your phone has Wi-Fi and bluetooth enabled, then the device will automatically connect and launch CarPlay (sometimes I want to use non-carplay features, and while it is easy to switch, it might be annoying that it defaults to launching CarPlay (many people wouldn't care about this). 2) If you pick up your phone (e.g. when stopped) to use it for something else, it drops out of CarPlay, and on my car, the car then defaults to the car's navigation app (which I never use and don't like - but it came with the car). I'd much prefer if the car defaulted to whatever I had last selected (in this case, radio) So both of these quibbles are about the interaction of the unit with the car's on-board screen (which includes audio, but also things like the heat / air-conditioning). Nothing about this is due to problems with the unit (more about the car's onboard software), but it may affect your decision to purchase. As for the unit, if you want wireless CarPlay, this gives you the capability, and it works well. Finally: The setup instructions are explicit and very particular about the steps and order of actions. Follow them EXACTLY, or setup can become difficult. It works, but it's more complicated than it should be. I had jumped the gun and didn't follow them exactly, and then I had a bit of work to do to get things back to original state to start the setup process again. The second time it worked perfectly.

I really like this Wireless CarPlay Adapter for Apple, Cosmic Gray. My car is a 2024 Mazda CX-5 Select and my phone is iPhone 15Pro. Original problem: My Mazda has CarPlay only if you plug in the iPhone via USB. It works great for my needs of navigation (Apple maps or google maps) and phone calls. But it is a hassle to always plug in the phone for short trips. I had trouble getting Bluetooth to be reliable if the iPhone was not plugged into the Mazda. Reading about the problem on the internet, it seems some people say Mazda is the issue and even more people say the relatively new iPhone 15Pro is the issue. Therefore, on short tips I pretty much had to plug in my iPhone in order to make or receive calls. The wireless adapter solves this problem. For me it was easy to setup and it works great. The armrest of the Mazda has an inside compartment with 2 USB-A ports. I plugged this adapter into one port and a USB cable in the second port to be used to plug in the iPhone for longer trips. Once the Mazda doors are unlocked, power is applied to the 2 USB ports and the adapter is turned on. By the time I get in the car and start the engine, the adapter is already connected to my iPhone which remains in my pants pocket. And CarPlay come up on the Mazda display just as if the phone was plugged into the Mazda. There appears to little to no delay on phone conversations or navigation maps. After a trip, the Mazda USB ports are turned off after a short delay after the doors are locked and I walk away with the key FOB in my pocket. So, the adapter is only powered on when I’m using the car. It is great. What about phone battery drain? For my use on short trips (less than 45 minutes), I do not notice any abnormal drain to be concerned about. I have my iPhone charge to full at 80 to extend battery life. After driving 20minutes to an appointment, 2 hours at the appointment, and 20minute drive back home, the iPhone battery was at 70%. Not a problem for me. What happens if I plug my phone into the Mazda for longer trips? I haven’t gone on any long trips with it yet, but my quick testing shows the phone charges and the wireless CarPlay remains active. What about music? I briefly tried Spotify from my iPhone and it works great, but I didn’t do much testing.

REVISED 11/18/2024: This worked GREAT for about a year. Bought this one in July of 2023. 15 months later and it started automatically "Disconnecting" from my car radio head unit for no reason. I contacted the company and they sent instructions on what to do to get it to reconnect. Unfortunately those instructions did not solve the problem. It's out of warranty, so if you do decide to purchase this plan on purchasing a replacement every 13 or 14 months! Each morning, when I start the car, the dongle initiates and wireless car play App is available on my radio. Then when I stop the car, kill the motor and get out, when I return, whether it's 15 minutes or 4 hours, The radio displays "Unable to connect to Wireless Car Play - Please unplug your unit and after a couple of minutes, plug it back in." I've tried that countless times but it never engages again UNTIL the next day when I first get in the car and then it connects without any problem. Very irritating. Now I just connect with the usb port and a cable to my iPhone which always works perfectly indicating that the problem is with the Adapter and NOT my car equipment. Now I see why it's only a 30 day warranty. My initial review from over a year ago follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First, the instructions are more complicated than necessary. Here's what to do: 1- Move your car away from your house so it can NOT pick up your home wifi signal. 2- Be sure your iPhone bluetooth is turned on. 3- Plug the unit into the usb port you normally use for your wired CarPlay. 4- Answer "yes" to any prompts you get on your phone AND/OR on your car radio display. 5- You're DONE! I rented a car last week with wireless CarPlay and was amazed how easily and seamlessly it worked with my iPhone; didn't even have to take the phone out of my pocket. So I read several reviews and this Jemluse model got high praise so I figured I'd give it a chance. Setup was easy although the instructions were more confusing than they should have been. As soon as it connected, the CarPlay option was displayed on my car's radio screen. I touched CarPlay and away we went. Now every time I get in the car, CarPlay comes on automatically just like in the rental which had built in wireless CarPlay. So far it is amazing and worth every penny. I'll let you know if it fails later on, but do far, so good! I have a 2021 Subaru Ascent. NOTE: This will not put CarPlay on a car that does not ALREADY HAVE wired CarPlay; it only converts the wired function to wireless. PS: It comes withe a LIFETIME warranty but only if you register within 15 days of Amazon purchase.

I was excited to try this Wireless Apple Carplay Adapter. Simple to use as "Plug and Play". **It is important to note, this will only work IF you already have wired carplay in your vehicle. It will not add Carplay access if your car doesn't already have it. (My son was hoping my device might transform his out of date system, LOL.) Now, with that being said, the ease of using the wireless adapter has allowed me to get a faster connection and the ability to eliminate use of charging cords. This device is small enough to tuck away out of sight . Cords aren't a big deal, but sometimes I just don't want to feel "cluttered" when I'm traveling. Maybe that's just a me thing, but wireless is great. The device appears to be high quality and has an "Apple" feel and look (like a mini iphone/ipod). Adapter will work on USB or USB-C since it comes with the USB-C adapter. Directions were easy to follow for the setup of Jemluse Wireless Carplay Adapter. I have not experienced any lag so far, but I understand wireless stuff does glitche sometimes, but so far so good. There were some more techy directions included in the instructions, but we didn't need to do them. Price is right if you are looking for a cool device to toss the cable clutter and go wireless.

Update 2024-11-20: It's been about six months now, and I am sold on this device. Aside from the very rare "forgotten preferences" and "black screen" issues (see original review below), the adapter has been working well and I really enjoy the extra convenience provided by not having to grab my phone and plug it in when I get into my car. Original review: Have been using this device for about 16 days. So far, I'd say it was definitely worth the $50 I paid for it. It wirelessly connects my iPhone 15 to my 2017 Honda CR-V's built-in Apple CarPlay feature within about 15 seconds after I start the car, and it provides about the same responsiveness and audio quality that a wired connection used to deliver. The convenience of not having to retrieve my phone and connect it to a cable is nice. The only negative feedback I have to offer is: 1. The installation instructions are poorly written -- as if they were translated into English by someone who is not a native English speaker. HINT: In my first setup attempt, I didn't bother to turn off the WiFi connection between my phone and my dashcam (the instructions tell you to turn off all existing WiFi connections before starting the setup process). That was a mistake. Follow the instructions exactly. 2. My Apple maps app often "forgets" a couple of my preferences after it disconnects from this device. It's not a big deal, but I often have to use the car's touch screen to switch from 2D back to my preferred 3D display mode, and to switch from the "North points up" to the "Forward direction points up" map orientation. It's inconsistent -- sometimes one setting is forgotten, sometimes the other, sometimes neither, and sometimes both. 3. I've used the device at least 20 times. Most times, my car's display will automatically switch to the CarPlay app immediately after starting the car, but once in a while it stays on the home screen. Also, once in a while, the car's display will just go black immediately after starting the car. In those instances, I have to switch to the car's home screen, and then to CarPlay. Bottom line: Aside from the above minor quirks, I like having my phone connect to my car all on its own. If you use CarPlay a lot, as I do, this device is worth the $50 I paid.

Excellent CarPlay Adapter for Seamless Connectivity I recently purchased the CarPlay adapter for my car, and I must say it has been an incredible addition to my driving experience. This adapter has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and convenience. One of the standout features of this adapter is its ability to connect multiple phones simultaneously. This has been incredibly useful for my family, as we can all enjoy the benefits of CarPlay without constantly having to disconnect and reconnect devices. The setup process was straightforward, and once connected, the adapter seamlessly integrates with the car’s system. Now, I no longer have the hassle of manually connecting my phone to the car every time I get in. It’s a time-saving feature that I greatly appreciate. The overall performance of the adapter has been flawless. The audio and display quality are excellent, providing a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. Whether I’m using navigation, making calls, or listening to music, everything works seamlessly through the CarPlay interface. In conclusion, I highly recommend this CarPlay adapter to anyone looking to enhance their car’s connectivity. Its ability to connect multiple phones and streamline the CarPlay experience makes it a must-have accessory for modern driving.

Overall I loved it, easy to install and worked great without issues. Recently it no longer shows up on my on my truck screen, it shows connected from my photo and the indicator light on the device but it doesn’t show anything on the screen. The initial issues was it would show but very pixelated and now it won’t show at all. Other than that I loved it, it would be cool to get it replaced without cost. I want to add that if I plug my phone in everything works as it should and shows how it should but when using the device it doesn’t anymore so I know it’s not an issue with my truck or phone.

Hi everyone! CarPlay doesn't work without an iPhone. Therefore, it is always only part of the car’s media system. My Tiguan trim has a console with wired CarPlay. Wireless CarPlay is not that uncommon, it just happened to me. But! Motorists, take note. Wired CarPlay is preferable to wireless. The set of applications in CarPlay does not depend on the version of the car’s media system. All programs are simply “picked up” from your iPhone. This also means you don't have to pay to upgrade CarPlay: it will match the capabilities of the iOS version on your iPhone. CarPlay takes your apps from your iPhone and displays them in a different interface on the car’s media system screen. Kind of like a projector. The media system displays alerts, messages, call history, map directions and, in general, almost everything that you have done or continue to do on your iPhone. Quite convenient. What you turn on first and why people use CarPlay in the first place. Apple Music was implemented beautifully; all tabs are accessible from the screen in the car, except for search. All so that you are not distracted by entering names while driving. This kind of concern makes me happy. Messages" for CarPlay was also greatly adapted. You won't find message history or attachments. The application will allow you to listen to the last message in the selected dialogue and immediately dictate a response to it. The message will be read out loud again before sending. It will reach the recipient in text form, sometimes with funny speech recognition errors. There can be no talk of any full-fledged correspondence. The Messages app on CarPlay is more of a backup. Suddenly something urgent comes up. So forget about the poop emoticon, stickers and other goodies. Calls were never affected. On the contrary, they have become more convenient. CarPlay navigates through Contacts, shows a list of recent and favorites, and allows you to enter a number manually. All this works with both the buttons on the steering wheel and the physical keys of the console. Missed call notifications are also synchronized with your phone. Everything works quickly, is easy to turn on and is not distracting at all. 10 speakerphones out of 10. I get into the car, connect to Lightning and completely forget about the existence of the iPhone. The machine dictates all incoming messages to me, not only iMessage, but also regular SMS. The basic functionality of Maps is quite sufficient, and calls do not distract from the road at all.
