ByteWave Wireless Android Auto & CarPlay Adapter 2-in-1 Converts Wired to Wireless 2025 Upgraded, Plug-and-Play Dongle with Low Latency, Connect for iOS10+/Android 11+ Cars - Brown

I replaced the head unit in my car with a cheap 10" head unit from Walmart. It gave me access to wired Android Auto on a large screen. I had seen similar devices that upgrade the connection to wireless, however those during initial release were much more expensive. During a recent road trip across the country, my wired connection would frequently disconnection. I would need to adjust the cable to get it to reconnect. This got really frustrating when trying to drive an RV through traffic to keep my maps up. We reached our half way point about 3,000 miles into the trip and I decided to check out Amazon. This device worked right away and never disconnected once on the return trip. There is no discernable difference on my head unit that I am on the Wired or Wireless connection. Once it it is set up, the connection comes up quickly once detected. I did not try the Carplay feature since I am on Android, but I would imagine it would be the same. I did find a few issues with my set up, but this is not a design error and instead a unique setup. My head unit is powered by the RV house batteries so it stays on. I can manually shut off the head unit at night, but I found that once my phone "connected" to this device, it would wake my head unit and connect. This was a draw back since I found I didn't have a good way to shut off the device. There was probably a better way to disconnect, ran into issues where I would turn off Bluetooth, but by the time I went to disconnect from Android Auto it reconnected my Bluetooth. While this is great for when you are "trying" to connect, it can be frustrating as part of the disconnect process. Again, this is not an issue with the device, but rather how the software interacts. I probably could have found a better way if I spent the time, however in the quick moment of trying to disconnect, I just unplugged this dongle instead. It was quick and easy and just set it aside until I was ready to use it again. None of this is would be an issue in a standard vehicle that the USB plug would turn off when the car turns off.

I was in the market for a wireless Android adapter because my Motorola MA1 gave up the ghost. The selection of wireless car adapters is certainly much wider now, thank goodness. I have been using this new adapter for a few weeks now and so far I am thoroughly enjoying it. Things I like: its compact size, solid build, the fact that it has USB on one side and USB-C on the other (so no separate adapter to lose), the thoughtful cap to cover the side you're not using, and that it holds its connection to the phone very well, even when driving through areas that my previous adapter struggled with. It pairs quickly when I start up the vehicle. Sound quality is great. And the initial pairing steps were straightforward with the help of the well-written included instructions. The product includes two short cords, which I appreciate because it will make it easier to use in harder to fit vehicles. Two big thumbs up from me!

I’ve been using the ByteWave Wireless Android Auto & CarPlay Adapter (2025 version) for a few weeks now, and it’s been a great way to add wireless CarPlay/Android Auto to my car. With CarPlay, it connects super fast and runs very smoothly — apps open quickly, music and navigation work perfectly, and there’s basically no lag. With Android Auto, it takes a bit longer to set up, and there’s a small delay when using apps or voice commands. It’s still usable, but not as snappy as CarPlay. One small downside is that it doesn’t switch easily between phones. If you have both iPhone and Android users in the car, you’ll need to disconnect one before connecting the other. Overall, it’s a solid adapter that does what it promises. Perfect for iPhone users and still pretty good for Android — just expect a little lag.

​This wireless adapter works flawlessly with my car. The setup was incredibly easy, and it connects automatically and reliably every time I start the engine. I've experienced zero lag when using navigation or streaming music—the response is instantaneous. Its compact size is a huge plus, as I was able to tuck it away completely out of sight, keeping my console clutter-free. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable gadget that I highly recommend to anyone looking to go wireless.

I bought this when I had a Motorola G Stylus 2022. It worked, but not as well as I would have liked. I recommended it to so coworkers and they had no issues with it. I had been having some issues with the Motorola anyway so I got a Samsung S25. The difference was amazing. So, back to the adapter. I leave it plugged into my F150. When I get in and start the truck, it boots right up and connects my phone to the radio and Android Auto immediately. When I would use a USB cable, I would have issue with the radio disconnecting from my phone. That doesn't happen anymore. I have never lost connection from my phone to the radio with this adapter. Once I made the Bluetooth connection from my phone to the adapter, it always connects. I plugged it into my wife's Honda Passport, and I was immediately connected to Android Auto. This has been a very good product for me.

works really good with both apple and android

Terrible piece of kit. Just about works but the sound keeps breaking up every minute or so. Bought this so I could have Car Play working all the time but its so flaky it's just easier to wire the phone in through a cable when needed rather than put up with the poor service this provides. If you need a Car Play wireless adapter then avoid this one like the plague

Works great. Easy to setup and means I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging a cable into the car port which is prone to failure. The only trouble I have with it is switching between different phones. Sometimes mine stays connected when my wife uses the car, even though I'm not in the car with her. Usually unplugging it does the trick.

It takes time to connect after a month of use.

Really nifty piece of equipment. My vehicle has wired Android Auto and the usb socket on my phone is a bit flaky. Figured I'd try this before spending £100s on a new phone or a repair job. Really easy to pair, works a treat. Stable signal (it runs off wifi) and it means that my phone stays connected to my car via bluetooth as well.
