I'm the guy he mentioned in the video. If you buy this product, after pairing you can update the firmware. I did that on the first unit, and I think that may have possibly been the cause of my problem. The company says to only update if you're having issues. I never tried it before the update, it may have worked fine. I figured newer was better. I never updated the second one, and it works very well.

Ok, let’s give this a try! Thank you gentlemen

I bought one of these shortly after buying my new Camry XLE 2 years ago. It works perfectly. I almost didn’t buy it because of all of the negative reviews and of how it expensive it was,but I don’t regret buying it and would definitely buy it again.

Thanks, Car Care Nut! You’re a thorough guy whose videos and opinion I trust, I bought one of these. I love the thing! I appreciate your effort making these great videos! The work you put into these is obvious! Well done!

I’ve been using that exact device for about 6 months in my Tacoma. It was worth the $120 to me. I’d easily buy again.

My reliable reference for everything Toyota/Lexus. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks for this, now I can take full advantage of my wireless charge pad in my RAV4 hybrid!!!

Wow thank you for the honest review. There is so many reviewers out there with this item and don’t share this kind of feedback.

Thanks for the recommendation. I got it to work in my Corolla. Works as you described.

Thanks for this one 👍🏻. Can you possibly also do a video tutorial on setting up a dashcam properly.

Awesome, honest review. Thanks a bunch! I'll keep the wire

Thanks for another useful update. I’ve been wondering about these.

Thank you for a well informative reviews: the good and the not so good about this product.

Nice, this would be extremely helpful for delivery drivers. One of my biggest turn-offs about the 2021 Corolla Hybrid was not having wireless Apple CarPlay.

Thanks for the video , thinking to get one

Love your work 👍

Another excellent review

Very useful, Thank you !

Good information thanks !!!! Life is good !!

I have one of these for my RAV4, and for the most part, it’ll work pretty well. Sometimes it’ll be pretty bad and it’ll crash and stuff, but most of the time it’s relatively problem free. Can’t wait to see Toyota add wireless CarPlay to more models down the line and hopefully by the time I need a new car again, it’ll have wireless CarPlay built in. For now though, this dongle does the trick!

I recommend CPLAY 2 Air. Have they delay issue but other than that all good. Have been using it for 2.5 years now

Comma 3 review!? I have one for my 22 Camry and it’s amazing with openpilot! Makes my commute to work a breeze.

Regarding the “next track” delay, I’m not sure if that’s the dongle, to be honest. Every Camry I’ve had if I plug it directly into the car’s USB port, the charging is incredibly slow, and so is the reaction to “next track” buttons.

I use AA wireless for android. Works great also. I've been using it for past 4 months and works every time. Connection time is bwteen 10-35 seconds. It's well worth the money for me.

Love this guy. Learning a ton. But this is a no go. I’ll just plug my phone in and get the best of it. Besides new tech will be along to better this I would think.

On the Lexus models, I’ve read somewhere on some forum a while back that there’s a software solution for this but it involves tricking the car’s internal BT module and USB thumb-drives if you’re computer savvy.

Cool stuff! Didn't even know this was possible....so of course I ordered it for my 2015 RX350. We'll find out soon...haha.

I can’t wait for you to do a review on the comma ai.

Thanks for the overview. Is there also passthrough wired CarPlay and will it work wth multiple users in the same car?

Great vid! How can we connect?

This device has 21% one-star rating. This is extremely high for an Amazon product, one of the highest I've seen. A good product usually has less than 10% one-star rating. According to one reviewer's comment, the device typically lasts for 2.5 months before it stops working. I follow this channel, because I trust Car Care Nut's expertise and credibility. If this information about this device is accurate, then I think he should read other reviewers' comments and reconsider his recommendation.

Congratulations on your new Camry ! There are people who can positively influence those they interact with. You are certainly among them. Thank you for sharing a lot of interesting information about Toyota cars ! Soon I'll own a Camry Hybrid. This model sold in Europe is being built in Japan. Do you know if it comes with the remote engine start feature (on higher trim level) ?

One downside is that I can't really hide the thing in the Yaris since there is only one USB slot. in the Focus I have two, one of them hidden under the armrest.

Just had a quick question, The transfer case on my 2021 4Runner off-road was damaged, fortunately Toyota will cover the transfer case under warranty and they are getting a new one in. Do you think that the transmission was damaged as well? I know they are planning to do a transmission flush to check for metal after they put in the transfer case. Is there anything else I should look out for besides transmission?

Mine is a CarPlay 2 Air and seems to just like yours. Only quirk seems to be if I leave my phone plugged into it that confuses it when the car is started so I have to unplug the phone before starting. (I work in a secure govt bldg so no electronics are allowed)

I really wanted this to work but I was expecting something like this to happen. I had similar issues when I tried to turn my old Lexus that didn't have bluetooth into one that did using a similar device.

Ottocast U2-X Pro for wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto avail for $99 on sale. Like having a computer server when your data is transferring over several servers there is Latency. It occurs with any dongle you get, a delayed response. I've had my Ottocast for nearly 5 months... I rate it 8.8 out of 10 stars. Nothing is perfect but Ottocast works very well. Plug it in the USB port and leave it hidden under the Camry wireless phone charging dock. No more plugging and unplugging.

Thanks for the video. I used wireless build-in CarPlay in Audi for a month while they tried to fix my car. It has even longer delay or loosing connection more ofter than with Carlinkit. Sometimes it takes long to connect, when your phone is connected to wifi. It uses bluetooth only for setup and initialization of wifi tunnel. It doesn’t transfer data over BT. May I ask you what model (1,2or3) you use? The 2nd and the 3rd use wifi 5 GHz and it is much snappier. Lossless and JBL :-) . Sorry, but it makes me smile. I like Toyotas, but JBL is the average sound system. Have nothing against it, but I doubt you can hear the difference with it. I did the same with annoying green led.
