OTTOCAST U2 Air Wireless Apple Carplay Adapter

OTTOCAST U2 Air Wireless Apple Carplay Adapter | Fastest AND Best Option?!

In this video I look at the Ottocast U2 Air 2022 Wireless Apple Carplay adapter dongle for Apple Carplay. Is this the fastest connecting Wireless Apple Carplay option out there? I am not sure but given that it only takes 18 seconds to connect, I am very impressed. It is also very small and easy to hide which is a plus given the tight cabins of some cars.

Apple really needs to release its own wireless adapter, that way you know it will work. All these reviews online are mixed some say it works others say it’s trash and it really makes me weary of spending 100 dollars on something that won’t work.

@remyd8767 Жыл бұрын

It's because they're so many car models out there that with different internals. Unless the car manufacturer regression tested these 3rd party accessories, there's no guarantee it will work or work perfectly. Then again if they are going ahead to spend the time to test it, they might as well just invest in implementing wireless natively

I’ve spoken to some engineers that have told me Apple CarPlay and android auto is actually very very difficult to put in vehicles. It’s not as simple as people think. To mirror apps to your phone screen and have the steering wheel buttons work with it is very intensive.

Hey, I was just curious how it works when using Siri? Like if you’re in CarPlay and you ask Siri to make a call or respond to a text message does it automatically go back into the last source you were in such as FM radio or Spotify and such? The reason I ask is because the current Carlinkit 5.0 is having issues with that on CarPlay in my 2022 Tacoma

Great review. I also bought the same product for my 2018 Kia stonic. It’s works perfectly. Just one question: when you turn off the car, turn off the car stereo and close the car (or simply open the door) does the dongle stay on in your Hunday? on my kia the blue led on the dongle never turns off unless I unplug the usb port. thank you

@TheJVCMan Жыл бұрын

That would more depend on the car rather than the dongle itself. It depends if the USB you are using is running off a switching 12v or if it's always on. If the USB socket is always on, then yes as you say the only way to turn off the box is to unplug it. Most cars switch the USB sockets off when the ignition is fully switched off. But it's nothing to do with the box but entirely on the car.

Why do you plug your phone in to charge? Do you have an extra long commute? Does your phone have poor battery life? This device converts vehicles to wireless with wired connections so most of us can get in our vehicle and go. Nothing more annoying that taking your phone out of your pocket, plugging it in, and then making sure you have a spot to put your phone.

Also, visually some people don't like loose wires hanging around in their car or having to stuff their phone into the center console.
