CarPlay Android Auto adapter - key features

• Two systems with automatic switching — The device simultaneously supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so in a family with multiple users, the adapter automatically switches between different phones.
• Almost invisible installation — Compact body, only half the size of a phone, easily hidden behind the infotainment system, maintaining a tidy car interior.
• Easy installation without modifications — It works on a "plug and play" principle, so simply connect it with a USB-A cable to the car's system and the device will start working immediately.
• Automatic connection — After the initial pairing, the adapter automatically connects to the phone each time when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on, without requiring any additional action.
• Voice assistant and navigation — Using Siri or Google Assistant allows for safe driving without using your hands, and the adapter uses the car's GPS system, which is more accurate than the phone's GPS.
• Charging the phone via a USB-A port — The device has an integrated USB-A port that allows you to charge your phone while driving using the same cable that connects the adapter to the car.

Buyer questions

Q: Will this adapter work with an older Audi model from 2015?
The adapter is compatible with Audi cars that have the MIB2 or MIB3 infotainment system. If your car has one of these systems, the adapter will work without any problems. We recommend checking the system version before purchasing.

Question: Is a car's USB port and power supply required for operation?
Yes, the adapter requires power via a USB-A port. Most Audi models have USB ports in or near the infotainment system. If there is no available port, you can use an additional adapter from the 12V socket.

Q: How does the voice assistant and navigation work with this adapter?
Using Siri or Google Assistant, you can safely control your phone by voice without using your hands. For navigation, the adapter uses the car's GPS system, which is more reliable and accurate than the phone's GPS module.
