OTTOCAST Mini Edge, 2 in 1 Wireless Carplay Adapter & Wireless Android Auto Adapter for Apple iPhone Samsung or other AndroidPhone, USB Bluetooth Car Accessories for OEM Wired Carplay/Android Auto Car

Works very well. No cutting out or glitching. Signal is strong and will actually connect before I even get in the car since it's in an always on port. (I generally unplug it when I get out of the car though). Been in use for at least 6 months now and very happy with it.

This tiny device that is shaped like a thumb drive (and looks like one, too) turns a car that is configured and equipped for wired Apple Car Play or wired Android Auto into wireless Apple Car Play or Android Auto. There is little or no set up. Turn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on in your phone, plug the device into the same port you use for a wired connection, pair your phone with the Ottocast via Bluetooth, and <boom> you are good to go. As you can imagine the instructions are sparse, so if you run into a glitch, you are probably going to have to figure it out for yourself. I did have a glitch. I went through the process of mating the phone and the Ottocast several times, so that I was connected wirelessly through Android Auto, but when I started the car back up, the connection would be gone. My car also has a Wi-Fi node that can be connected to for internet service, but it must be used exclusive of Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone was set up to automatically re-connect to that Wi-Fi connection, so when the car was re-started, the phone was connecting to the Toyota Wi-Fi rather than my phone's Wi-Fi. I disabled the auto connection to the phone's Wi-Fi, and when I started back up, the phone was automatically connected to Android Auto. Although Bluetooth is used for the initial pairing and set up, the connections there after are done via Wi-Fi. So far, so good. What a convenience to get rid of the wire!

Edit 2 (March 2026): Overheating was NOT the fault of this unit and I’m restoring my rating. It was a USB port starting to fail on my Chrysler Voyager. I replaced that, and the overheating resolved. Edit (Dec 2025): Unit now overheats on longer drives. On a 5 hour trip I had to unplug it about every hour to cure audio glitching. It takes it approximately 30 min to cool each time. The right angle connector now has a short in it that causes every minor bump to disconnect it for a moment and I have to wait for everything else to reconnect. It’s not even 6 months old yet, buyer beware. Lowered one star for utter lack of longevity. Original Review: I’m not sure of the durability over the long haul. Just as my return window closed, it froze up and it took me several hours to get it to work again. While that’s the only glitch, a different (cheaper) brand I was using did the same thing right before dying completely. That said, when it works it’s good, the 90° connector and low profile size is appreciated due to the location of the port on my Voyager minivan.

The Ottocast Mini 2 initially delivers on its promise: plug it in once, and Wireless CarPlay launches automatically every time the car starts. Its compact, well-built design fits discreetly into the USB port, and setup took less than 10 seconds. During the first week, the connection was fast and stable—navigation apps like Apple Maps and Waze loaded without delay, and both music streaming and call quality were excellent. However, by the second week, the device began to overheat excessively—reaching dangerously high temperatures that could cause burns upon contact. Shortly after, it stopped working entirely and was no longer recognized by my Chevrolet OnStar factory radio system and my iphone.

Have transferred it between several cars and it always connects easily. Currently fits perfectly in the cupholder compartment of a '25 GR86.

New 2022 Escape - this didn't work well with my equipment. Finally just plugged everything in.

Always connected, really great

So I've tried several Android Auto adapters (Motorola MA1 and AA wireless) and none of them have worked for me. I have a 2021 Chevy Traverse and my issue is the USB ports aren't powered when the car is off. The other adapters I tried always had issues reconnecting and I'd end up having to reset to factory. This adapter has been bullet proof as far as reconnecting and startup. Super easy to install and I've actually kind of forgotten it's there which is exactly what I wanted.

Perfecto desde el primer momento.

Ottimo accessorio per chi ha un’auto dotata di Apple CarPlay o Android Auto via cavo ma non della connessione wireless. L’OTTOCAST 2 in 1 permette di evitare di collegare ogni volta lo smartphone con il cavo USB: una volta configurato, il telefono si connette automaticamente e in pochi secondi si può utilizzare CarPlay o Android Auto direttamente sul sistema originale della vettura. Nell’uso quotidiano è molto più comodo di quanto possa sembrare, soprattutto per tragitti brevi, dove collegare e scollegare continuamente il telefono diventa piuttosto fastidioso. La configurazione iniziale è semplice e il dispositivo è molto compatto, quindi può essere lasciato collegato senza creare particolare ingombro nell’abitacolo. Buona anche la stabilità della connessione durante l’utilizzo. È uno di quegli accessori che non aggiungono funzioni particolarmente appariscenti, ma migliorano concretamente la comodità di utilizzo dell’auto ogni giorno. Consigliato a chi vuole trasformare CarPlay o Android Auto cablati in una soluzione wireless senza dover modificare il sistema multimediale originale della vettura.

Très pratique pour connecter sans fil. Facile à utiliser

Fonctionne tres bien pour ma ford mustang Bullitt 2019

Funkar utmärkt med CarPlay och en Toyota RAV4. Bara plugga i och koppla upp. Sen funkar det automatiskt.
