I just got the Carlinkit 4.0. I use the Samsung Galaxy S23.

Do you have any idea on what the problem might be>
Which system should I buy in order to stream Netflix and CZcams I’m sure there are many however which one stands out at a good price point thank you Advanced
Hello my husband have an Andriod and I have a carplay. How does it determine which system does it connect to when we both in the car? Does it let you choose which phone does it connect to?
When you do updates it states type in model of car. What if you have an aftermarket head unit in your car, do you just type in the type of head unit. I have a Sony ax 5500 in my 2007 Ford Ranger. Good review as i am thinking of one of these to go from wired to wireless
It has to be the USB connection that is connected with your car screen. In some cars you have multiple usb slots but only one is connected to the screen and the rest are only for charging
I have a 2019 Impala premier. I bought the 4.0 and when I plug in the device for set up nothing appears on the car monitor after the red light turns on, on the device. Any ideas please?
Hello . Thanks for your great videos . I have a Carlin kit 4.0 installed . Its working great so far . The only issue I’m having is that it says it will disconnect me from Carlin CarPlay if I join my car’s WiFi hotspot? Is there a way around this ? Thanks v much again
I have carlinkit 3.0 in the small white form factor, but there is audio lag, audio quality degradation, and it often overheats. Does the 4.0 address any of these issues? Thanks!
Thank for the video. I purchased the same Carlinkit as you in the video. My vehicle is 2023 Hyundai Santa FE. I connected the Carlinkit and it works however when I look at my iphone 12 it shows in bluetooth that my vehicle is not connected as well as the Carlinkit. Any suggestions?
You have 3 options: 1. Install a CarPlay kit, for this you will have to go to a auto center, they will open the dashboard to install it, like this s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlfospH 2. Change your screen and install an android screen which will have all these features and apps builtin, I did that for my brothes CLA... s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEvrnYR 3. Get a rearview mirror with carplay option, like this czcams.com/video/QtdMSx18nH0/video.html
Hi.. Recently I've seen your video on CZcams about Carlinkit U2W Plus and I'm curious about the wireless AA. Because I've just bought a new Carlinkit same as the one you have (with the blue 'ish' carbon case). My problem is I can't get connected with the AA wirelessly. But for the wireless Carplay it works flawlessly... Would you explain how to make it work? Thanks.. 🙏🏽
Hi, are you sure its the Carlinkit 4.0 U2W Plus model, like I have in this video? I am asking becasue the Carlinkit 3.0 U2W Plus model is Apple CarPlay model only, while the 4.0 model is a 2 in 1 adapter. You just have to follow the steps in my video to connect AA. More questions contact me via whatsapp 971566822520
Thanks for the video. I'm using android auto in my Kia Carnival my question is do i have to turn my mobile data on always when i plug in this device? Because now if i have to call hands free if my mobile data is off it says something wrong with the connection. Please guide
I may have a stupid question but, carlinkit only works if you already have a CarPlay right? It only make your wired CarPlay into a wireless one? Thanks
hi, can you recommend a latest and fast apple wireless carplay box for my new kia sportage. need netflix,youtube and other livetv app on it. preferably the one with sim card or without.thanks
No, this device does not have that function of screen mirroring. Check out this other device which has the mirroring option as well czcams.com/video/FA7gnIaAD8A/video.html
Can you test the next track and google assistant buttons on the steering wheel for android auto. When you test volume button, you are only changing the car stereo volumes has nothing to do with AA.
I played music and it was working perfectly, I was able to change tracks using the steering controls as well as using google assistant. It was also able to read my messages and compose new messages
Good video and comparative at the end. Do you tested the AAWireless device?, it is not in the comparative table, and according to your knowledge which is the best device for Android Auto wireless function?. Are you happy with Carlinkit 4 usability and fluency?. Thanks in advance...
I tested the device again for another viewer and it worked quite well. I tested the AA functionality as well and it performed perfectly. This is a good device for both CP and AA
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Thanks for your fast reply. Have you tested the AAWireless adapter?? It seems to be another interesting solution... I am doing my own research to buy a wireless device. I appreciated your recommendation in this sense.. Kind regards.
This works in cars with carplay system. Does your car have it. I have tested many different models and brands of CarPlay AI Box, you can check it out and buy the one you like, make sure you buy from the official store to ensure you get the original
I see your vehicle had Apple Car Play installed as part of the make and model of your car. I have a Toyota also with Apple Car Play but I have an Android phone. Can I use this device on my Toyota with my Android phone even if the car itself doesn't have Android Auto? I assume I do this by selecting Android Auto during setup correct? Thank you for the review.
Yes, you can. This adapter gives you both options, CarPlay or Android Auto, but you cant have both connect at the same time. At a given time, you can either use iPhone CarPlay or Android Auto
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Great Thank you. On another note which do you think is better the Carlinkit 4.0 or the Outtocast U2X? I heard the Carlinkit had a lot of latency??
Thinking about purchasing one for my Haval Jolion. In my previous experiences with custom Android head units and wireless adapters for Android Auto I always had issues with starting music playback on connection. So, the question is: is it possible to setup this box to auto start CZcams Music after connection?
Can this work for any car audio on your car or the car DVD has to be smart and already support Android/ Apple play this product is only cable replacement ?
It is compatible with cars that have factory fitted wired carplay system. It is a simple device that converts wired carplay to wireless. If you are looking for a full system carplay adapter with apps than checkout other videos on my channel
im trying to update the device, but when i either scan the QR code or enter the I.P address, nothing comes up. I am allowing to fully load and connect before i try it, and it will not come up. any ideas?
Not a good buy. I purchased a T box and it never connects to CarPlay. I end up restarting the vehicle couple of times to connect. Also it gets disconnected frequently. Manufacturer is giving software updates which is not exactly helping. Steering wheel controls on Toyota Fortuner is also not compatible with this.
Hi schaz Can we rely on uninterrupted communication with wireless in this kit? As many kits that been tested had an issue with continuity of communication. Thank you
No, this is not a CarPlay AI Box, checkout my latest videos where I have tested some latest CarPlay Media adapters. Plus for these devices to work, you need carplay function in your car

Hello, I would like to ask you for help with a problem with this product: when I receive a call on my iphone, the interlocutor does not hear me because the communication does not switch to carplay but to mbux of my MB GLC. Every time I have to pick up the phone and select carplay so that they can hear me ....
Does the Android phone actually know that it is connected to Android Auto system? Or is that just connected as a headset and the AA logic is fully implemented/emulated within the dongle (between car and dongle only)?
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Thank you! Can you report about the stability? Several folks claim the v3.0 gets overheated after about 2 hours, and gets unstable, and restarts ... how about v4.0?
I haven't tried Apple carplay yet, but the Android Auto doesn't work right on my screen. I have a 2018 Lincoln Navigator & it looks like the update version of Android Auto, but the screen is cut off on the right side & the top. When I use the USB to connect it, it will work fine, but it's back to the old version. I don't get it. Smh...
what is the input (audio) delay for when you press "next track" and when you hear the track change? I like to watch CZcams videos when I'm parked and I want to know how bad audio lag will be. Thank you
When you play music on the app like Spotify, there is no lag at lag, its instant and you can use the steering controls to skip songs. On CZcams, I did notice a very slight lag.
Will it work with a bmw f30 nbt evo id6 unit? It has nativ carplay and I have an android. Basically I'd like to use it as a carplay to android auto converter
Hi, great review. How ever i am missing one thing. Is it easy to switch between phones if you have both android and apple? And what about auto connection, if you leave your apple at home does it auto connect to the android and vice versa? Greetz
You will have to disconnect the phoone first and then ocnnect the other phone. No, it does not auto connect to the other phone. It only auto connects to the last phone connected.
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz have u tried using 2 different adapters connected at the same time so u can switch? When wired u can switch by returning to the home screen of the car brand. Im looking for something for easy switching
Honestly, I dont think you can connect two adapters at the same time as most cars have one usb port that is connect to the system. What you can do is have two adapters, one for iphone and the other for android, and you plug in the one that you want to use, it will be simply a matter of plugging in the adapter
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz I have a seat arona which has 2 usb ports. That why i know when both connected by wire i can easily switch between both phone by simply going back to the home screen of the car. Any advice in buying separate adapters for both? AaWireless seems nice for Android. Carlink 3.0 or mini for apple Any thoughts on this?
@@MGTEKNS please can you confirm on this question? I really want to make sure it works before buying it. I have a 2020 corolla that only support wired carplay and i have a android i really want to use android auto. WIll this device allow me to do such thing?
@@iTzJOHnNyY It does not work with my BMW which is wireless only. If your car has a dedicated USB port for carplay it should work. My car has USB charging ports that do nothing but charge the device. Hopefully that answers your question.
Yes, you can. The new of the system is called CARPLAY but it works with both CP and AA. However, if you are connecting a wireless adapter, then you need to make sure that it has the AA function like this Carlinkit 4.0 adapter
I tried to connect my Android phone with Volvo S90 but apparently the adapter thinks that a phone is an Iphone since it automatically shows Apple CarPlay instead of Android Auto. Do you know what might be the problem? I tried with two different phones and the results are the same...
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz meaning, this particular Carlinkit 4.0 does not add anything extra to a iphone carplay user, other than adding wireless connectivity?
Hello dears, please... there is only Apple Carplay version in my car compatible via usb cable. DOES NOT EXIST, or there is no option for android. Can this carlinkit 4.0 device connect my android smartphone to my car's apple carplay system????? thanks!
This adapter works only with cars with OEM CarPlay system. I'm afraid it will not work in your car. I suggest you buy the RoadTop portable car screen czcams.com/video/QXsK7W6YbSY/video.html
Hi...my car (Mini Cooper) only has factory Carplay.......the problem, .my phone is android, so, with Carlinkit 4.0 . Can I adapt my phone (see android auto) on the car radio screen ?
Hello, i got this device recently. One issue i am facing is regarding calling. When i make a call the party on other side can't hear me but i can hear them. Do you know if call uses mic of carlinkit adaptor or our car mic ? Intrestingly when i check Bluetooth on my s22 , it shows connected to carlinkkit but not to my default car stereo. If this how it's supposed to work or i am missing something? :(
Bro what if the car doesn't have android auto. Because i have a 2020 nissan pathfinder, touchscreen but it doesn't come with android auto or apple car play... can i still use it??
You did not show Android auto working wirelessly with Google assistant. The idea of wireless operation is hands free and you just manually used the touch screen. Show us wireless Andriod auto working hands free please. Call contact, play music, directions to a location.
I am sorry I didnt show the google voice assistant feature, but when I was maling this video the Samsng mobile I tested didnt have the voice before (old model). Later on, I did an extended test on another viewers requested with a newer Samsung model and the voice assistant worked perfectly well. I tested music, calling and navigation, all worked fine

My carlinkit works with my RAV4 except google assist. After I say " hey Google" it just freezes. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks
Did you try to reset the device
Hi, great review. How ever i am missing one thing.
Is it easy to switch between phones if you have both android and apple?
And what about auto connection, if you leave your apple at home does it auto connect to the android and vice versa?
Greetz
You will have to disconnect the phoone first and then ocnnect the other phone. No, it does not auto connect to the other phone. It only auto connects to the last phone connected.

Thx
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz have u tried using 2 different adapters connected at the same time so u can switch?
When wired u can switch by returning to the home screen of the car brand.
Im looking for something for easy switching
Honestly, I dont think you can connect two adapters at the same time as most cars have one usb port that is connect to the system. What you can do is have two adapters, one for iphone and the other for android, and you plug in the one that you want to use, it will be simply a matter of plugging in the adapter
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz
I have a seat arona which has 2 usb ports. That why i know when both connected by wire i can easily switch between both phone by simply going back to the home screen of the car.
Any advice in buying separate adapters for both?
AaWireless seems nice for Android.
Carlink 3.0 or mini for apple
Any thoughts on this?
if the car doesnt support the carplay, when u plug in the device will ur phone still able to detect the carlinkit bluetooth ?
I think it might connect via bluetooth with the adapter. I can't check as my car has carplay system
I only have Apple car play wireless wireless can I use this device to connect my android phone to my car
It works in cars with wired carplay function, and it works for both iphone and android mobiles
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz So even if my car doesn't have android auto at all it will still work?
@@MGTEKNS please can you confirm on this question? I really want to make sure it works before buying it. I have a 2020 corolla that only support wired carplay and i have a android i really want to use android auto. WIll this device allow me to do such thing?
@@iTzJOHnNyY It does not work with my BMW which is wireless only. If your car has a dedicated USB port for carplay it should work. My car has USB charging ports that do nothing but charge the device. Hopefully that answers your question.
do you know if it works on a 2017 lexus rx 350?
Yes, it should work if your car has the Carplay function in the stereo
My car only has apple carplay. Can I use Carlinkit 4.0 to use Android Auto wireless?
Yes, you can. The new of the system is called CARPLAY but it works with both CP and AA. However, if you are connecting a wireless adapter, then you need to make sure that it has the AA function like this Carlinkit 4.0 adapter
I tried to connect my Android phone with Volvo S90 but apparently the adapter thinks that a phone is an Iphone since it automatically shows Apple CarPlay instead of Android Auto. Do you know what might be the problem? I tried with two different phones and the results are the same...

hello does this device works on bmw f30 models?
No sir, it does not work on BMW cars
Is it possible to use netflix or youtube using iphone 11 carplay?
Yes you can, but you need to get a CarPlay AI Box, you can check my other videos
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz meaning, this particular Carlinkit 4.0 does not add anything extra to a iphone carplay user, other than adding wireless connectivity?
@@phas3rrr That's correct. If you want more apps then you should get the CarPlay AI Box, checkout the new MMB Max video on my channel
I am not able to see you tube app.. will it not work?
This is a wireless CP and AA adapter. For CZcams and other apps, you need to get a Car Entertainment CarPlay adapter. check out my other videos
Hello dears, please... there is only Apple Carplay version in my car compatible via usb cable. DOES NOT EXIST, or there is no option for android. Can this carlinkit 4.0 device connect my android smartphone to my car's apple carplay system????? thanks!
Yes, with this device you can get wireless AndroidAuto on the screen
does it work with toyota camry 2018? because car does not support apple carplay or android auto
This adapter works only with cars with OEM CarPlay system. I'm afraid it will not work in your car. I suggest you buy the RoadTop portable car screen czcams.com/video/QXsK7W6YbSY/video.html
Hi...my car (Mini Cooper) only has factory Carplay.......the problem, .my phone is android, so, with Carlinkit 4.0 . Can I adapt my phone (see android auto) on the car radio screen ?
Yes, you can. this is a 2-in-1 adapter that works with both iphone and android mobiles
It will work in rav4 2020??
It will work if your car has the OEM CarPlay functionality
Hello, i got this device recently. One issue i am facing is regarding calling. When i make a call the party on other side can't hear me but i can hear them. Do you know if call uses mic of carlinkit adaptor or our car mic ? Intrestingly when i check Bluetooth on my s22 , it shows connected to carlinkkit but not to my default car stereo. If this how it's supposed to work or i am missing something? :(

Hey, my toyota head unit is using android 3.0.
Will this carlin kit work for my android phone ?
Do i have to install any app?
If your car has the wired carplay system then it will work on your android phone
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz nice
1 more question, when i start the car, will it auto open the android auto?
@@Saufiuddin yes
Bro what if the car doesn't have android auto. Because i have a 2020 nissan pathfinder, touchscreen but it doesn't come with android auto or apple car play... can i still use it??
Unfortunately you can’t. It needs carplay option in the stereo to work
how you bought the product....website showing it can't be shipped to india
They delivered to my country
Is it easy to switch between devices in the menu?
Yes, its quite easy
Would it work on a car that does not have apple car play?
No, it will not.
Hey does it plays Netflix ??
No, for Netflix, CZcams and other apps, you need to get a CarPlay AI Box like this one: czcams.com/video/lMK7qlNlGYI/video.html
For Wireless Android Auto, does the car recognize it as Apple Carplay or Android Auto?
This run off everything under carplay.
Yes, thats correct. Thanks @navawong. The car recognizes all such devices as CarPlay, it's like a generic name for Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto
So it can enable Wireless Android Auto on Wired Carplay only vehicles like some Lexus Models, correct?
@@keibee This device works in all works with carplay system enabled. You can use both apple carplay or android auto, but one system at a time
Hi, thanks for the info on the video. I've a 2017 AUDI A1. Do you know if the system works for this car ?
It works in most cars with factory fitted wired carplay function
Is it true that there are disconnections when driving at high speeds?
No, it doesnt. I tested it in my car and I didnt experience any issues
are'nt the andriod car box more useful
Yes they are, but expensive too, especially the good ones
Does it work with aftermarket android headunit ?
No, it works with OEM CarPlay system
I'm using carlinkit 4.0 but I can't frame the screen
do you know how to fix this? Android auto gets bigger than screen
Yes, probably need to update the firmware. Drop me a whatsapp msg and I will try to help you api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=971566822520
You did not show Android auto working wirelessly with Google assistant. The idea of wireless operation is hands free and you just manually used the touch screen. Show us wireless Andriod auto working hands free please. Call contact, play music, directions to a location.
I am sorry I didnt show the google voice assistant feature, but when I was maling this video the Samsng mobile I tested didnt have the voice before (old model). Later on, I did an extended test on another viewers requested with a newer Samsung model and the voice assistant worked perfectly well. I tested music, calling and navigation, all worked fine
