I am still using the sunweyer dongle you previously reviewed/recommended and it's working great so far. It seems to connect just as fast. If this one is faster, it's not by much. Did you change your mic for this and the last video? It doesn't sound very good and is very quiet... had to crank up my volume to hear you and the quality wasn't as good as previous videos (listen to this video and then your Binize review -- night and day difference)

They are pretty much the same. Slight better WiFi spec on this one but once in, the experience is much the same. As for the audio, I had big issues in my last two videos. Where I had to use iPhone audio instead of external mic on both unboxing and demo sections. I didn’t have time to re shoot them so just had to use what I got. Next time it will improve…as long as I remember to turn them on 😂 thanks for the concern ☺️

Another great review. Thanks a lot! Do you think MSXTTLY will bring out a "CarPlay (and Android Auto) only version" of this adapter for people who only need either of it? And even more important: Do you think a "CarPlay only version" could decrease the already fast boot time and the already good lagging time even more?

Thanks ☺️ I know they do an Android auto only version on this Amazon page. Not sure on CarPlay though. They might do it as the hardware is around for single platform use.

Great review! How’s the audio delay when watching KZread with CarPlay? The video vs. audio delay. (While parked of course!) I’ve been wanting to get a wireless adapter for a while. I think this will be the one. Thanks!!

Thanks for watching...So I have run some tests... Wired CarPlay has around a +50ms delay when listening to KZread on my Golf system. So the audio is 50ms late. Using this adapter and running the same video I get around -200 to -150ms delay, so the video is late by around -200 to -150ms. As background audio that may be ok because you're not watching. But to watch with audio, then it's quite a significant delay to not really enjoy watching back video content from apps such as KZread.

Great review. Just ordered one from Amazon. Looking forward to getting rid of that wire 👍🏻

Thanks for watching. The way it would work is it would connect to whoever is in the car. If you’re both in the car then it’s a coin toss who connects first, unless you turn off BT on one of the devices so that forces the other to connect first.

Great video. Have you experienced lag while navigating on Google Maps or Waze? Have you also experienced sudden crashes or disconnections of CarPlay? Thanks.

Thanks for watching ☺️ I still use this one today. I’ve not yet experienced any lag in maps apps, no crashes or disconnections. The only thing I have had is it failing to fire up on my system at rare times. A replug fixes this issue when it rarely happens. Also it could be a timing thing with my golf system. Usually fixed by adding some delay in its config menu. Hope this helps.

Great Review... MSXTTLY Wireless Adapter -- Is this the best in the market now for both AA/Carplay ? or any other better product available? should I consider ottacast play to video pro than this.. Please provide your feedback on lags in phone calls if any and which is best to you…

Did you hear that the AAwireless dongle decided to add CarPlay to their adapter? I decided to buy it and try it and saw that it did have support to use CarPlay, but could not get it to work for the life of me I was hoping you can check that out and see what you think or at least get it to work! I see no videos about it.

I reached out to AAWireless and anyways fail to get hold of one to test. I’ve heard this also. Sounds like a firmware update is needed for this functionality to work. It mate work over an Android OS layer, meaning it may not be so great, but if you only have AA and need CP this may be a good option.

Great review. Anthony which dongle you recommended. I use only CarPlay. Sunweyer, MSXTTLY 2in1, MSXTTLY only for CarPlay.

CarPlay wired or wireless needs ios9 or later and iPhone 5 or later. Older/Slower iPhones will impact the experience, which might be why they say iPhone 12+ on Amazon or they are just covering their bases with a medium tier phone that’s not capable, speed wise. Hope this helps.

Good morning Anthony, We are very interested in using a wireless Carplay dongle and I have a question about it and so far I have not been able to find an answer. Let's get a few things straight, we have a Ford Fiesta Connected built in 2019 with an infotainment screen that we also use as a GPS (Google Maps). Now my question, can I simply charge my mobile phone via the second USB port of the Fiesta while using the Carplay, or will there be a conflict? I wrote this post using Google Translate. Thank you very much for your answer.

If you have two usb ports one will be used for CarPlay only so using that with the adapter will be fine and the other can be used for charging your phone. Hope this helps.

This 2in1 is much faster than their older AA only adapter.

Bought this one a couple weeks ago, and its a great product ...when it works! Somehow this thing doesn't want to always connect. Sometimes it shows I must unlock my phone, sometimes just that connection cant be established. Using Samsung S24, got the latest updates and everything. Any idea how to fix it? Already thinking about sending it back cause its very frustrating. What I've found is that unpairing from BT and disconnecting WIFI and the device and car can get it to start, but im just randomly juggling all with reconnecting each thing and its annoying

That’s not great. What is the car brand, model and year? It’s likely a compatibility issue with the car. You could try adding startup delay to allow the adapter to connect after a period once your car is good and ready.

If I start the engine right away it fails to connect quite often. Not sure if thats even related or maybe its just situational. How do I enable the delayed start?

Strange question but does AA run through car play (similar to ottocast u2-xpro) or would it open straight in to AA. Reason I ask is, in my car CP runs full screen but AA comes up half screen. So I quite like how the ottocast runs through carplay then brings up AA (to make it full screen) but it is just on the slower side!

This will operate like the CarlinKit 5.0 in that it uses AA connection for wireless AA, and CP connection for wireless CP. I can’t do wired CP wireless AA or wired AA to wireless CP. Hope this helps.

With this particular adapter, it is very close to wired. Of course, you have a delay in the initial connection, and on navigation and music playback etc. that's just how wi-fi works vs Bluetooth or a wire, so there is a compromise there. As for sound quality, for me, there is very little in it, but this could also depend on the system it's connecting to and the age of the phone. In my experience, and I like good-sounding audio, these adapters overall have been pretty acceptable in their sound quality
