Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapters

Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto adapters let you use compatible factory-wired smartphone integration wirelessly, without plugging in your phone on every drive. The adapter connects to your vehicle’s USB data port while keeping the factory screen and supported controls. Your vehicle must already support the corresponding wired system.

Is a Wireless CarPlay Adapter Right for Your Vehicle?

A wireless adapter is designed for vehicles that already support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto through the factory USB data connection. It converts that existing wired connection to wireless, so you can use your phone without plugging it in on every drive.

  • For iPhone: Confirm that Apple CarPlay launches when your iPhone is connected to the vehicle's factory USB data port.
  • For Android: Confirm that Android Auto works through the factory USB connection with a compatible Android phone.
  • If your vehicle already supports wireless CarPlay or Android Auto: A standard wired-to-wireless adapter is generally unnecessary.
  • If neither system is supported: A wireless adapter cannot add it. Consider a compatible retrofit, aftermarket head unit, or portable CarPlay screen instead.

Compatibility depends on the vehicle's model year, trim, market, and infotainment system. A USB port or Bluetooth connection alone does not establish compatibility.

Wireless Adapter vs. Portable CarPlay Screen

A wireless adapter lets you use CarPlay or Android Auto wirelessly on a compatible factory display. A portable wireless CarPlay screen adds a separate touchscreen and can be an alternative for vehicles without compatible factory-wired smartphone integration.
