Thank you for this video! The manual that comes with the device was pretty much useless, but thanks to you video I managed to get it to to work. My car was not reacting at all when I plugged it in. I have an Android phone and therefore I have CarPlay deactivated. After seeing you connect it to you car via CarPlay I activated that and voila, it connected and so far everything seems to be working just fine.

Got this a few weeks ago for $60 on Ebay. I was able to use up to 256Gbyte stick holding mp4 movies and mp3 audio. Won't play AC3 or DTS so you would need to reencode those. After an hour, the little box does get very hot but it's worth the $60 for all the features it has.

Just from watching this video I can tell that having a touch screen for this ottocast makes a world of difference...I've got a relatively modern MB which is supposed to be a Premium car yet there is no touch screen and even though I have never found it to be an issue, I did struggle when using this otto cast as navigating the interface is a right chore, especially when I have to type in anything like Wifi password or other login detail. It is just a pain, and for the first time I wished my infotainment system has a touch screen :(

But what works for KZread/Netflix and split screen if you don't have wired carplay and only have wireless carplay?

Quick one, are you able to do a screen mirror from your phone to the Otto cast? Seeing there is no Android Store to download more apps, being able to mirror screen from phone will be priceless

I am wondering if this thing fits the 2018 Passat

how to change the system language? I go to the language settings, I see the list, I press my language and nothing happens. 

Good info..Does the phone heats up after connecting for long drives?

If you are using the navigation. But it heats up when it’s plugged in too using navigation

Which one do you like better, this one or the Carlinkit Tbox Max (Ambient) 2024 model? Which is better? or are similar. Thanks in advance

Carlinkit tbox is better but costs more. This one hasn’t got the play store for extra apps like the tbox.

Have you tried the ottocast P3? And can you compare it to carlink T box

No I haven’t tried the p3. The t box is better than this one it has downloadable apps and 4g etc.. but it’s more expensive

This thing either works perfect or not at all.

What password should be put in when system asks for it when opening wifi on car?

I think it’s 88888888 or something like that. There is a settings button you can press whilst it’s waiting to connect. Think you can change it there

Please DON'T buy this item. Total waste of your money. The display resolution of your factory OEM CarPlay or Android Auto will be much less than the OEM. Also, the unit gets very high temperatures which is quite dangerous for having it in any glove box. Better stay away from the OTTOCAST company that does not follow their returns policy. They are just losers.
