I say most, because I was told by the vendor upon requesting the device that “Magic Box doesn’t have 100% compatibility with Honda. If you use Carplay and Android Auto in the Aftermarket Android Head Unit, You can choose 👉 Carlinkit Autokit (CCPA) .
From there, you can enter an IP address in your iPhone browser to access the dongle's settings, and then update the firmware if necessary.The split screen on the right was essentially useless - a compass with a choice of 3 different looks was the most useful thing, and that really isn't useful to me. The final straw for me was seeing that there was no way to hide the dongle so it wasn't visible to someone looking through the window. Once you connect the device, you are greeted with a login screen and you have to connect the Bluetooth from your phone to this device, after that just follow the prompts on your phone and voila, you are connected!
Bluetooth module, Carlinkit Mini2 wireless CarPlay adapter achieves lower latency while using the original car operation or Siri to control the CarPlay, and is more stable with stronger a nti-interference ability. This means you can enjoy a completely wireless driving experience without the need to plug in your device each time. The box contains two cables, one C-to-C and another C-to-A; to get started, plug the USB-C end into the Carlinkit 3. I've been writing about computers, the internet, and technology professionally for over 30 years, more than half of that time with PCMag. It warns you not to use the dongle while in motion, and then deposits you in a configuration screen.Performance-wise, I ran this dongle for over four hours on a road trip and it didn’t lag out or slow down in any way. Your iPhone treats this as a new instance of CarPlay, so if you have the icons pre-arranged, you’ll have to arrange them again in Settings > General > CarPlay. They were the first major brands to bring us the USB Apple CarPlay dongle for Android systems, and they also lead the charge with one of the first wireless Apple CarPlay dongles too. With this upgrade, you won't have to worry about your dongle falling off and getting scratched if you hit a bump while driving. Given that we were constantly unplugging it for normal operation we went back to just using a cable when we need CarPlay.
That is not at all clear on the interface and I wouldn’t have copped to it had I not found it in the manual.I have read some people say the audio is improved on this particular dongle, but personally, I couldn’t notice any difference, and I have found the audio to be generally fine on all the dongles I have reviewed.
It’s always convenient to stay in your own ecosystem, same phone, same car, same cable without any change.
VW: Spacefox, CC, Scirocco, Amarok, Beetle, Beetle Cabriolet, Golf R, Caddy, California, Caravelle, e-Golf, Fox, Golf, Golf Cabriolet, Golf SportsVan, Golf Variant, Golf SportWagen, GTI, Jetta, Lamando, Multivan, Passat Variant, Polo(Except for Polo with Type-C), Sharan, Tiguan, Touran, Transporter, Passat, Atlas, Crafter, CrossFox, Gol, Saveiro, Voyage, Arteon, Bora, Magotan, Sagitar, T-Roc, ID. This little device works like a charm and will turn your factory head unit a whole different experience. U2W dongle, you can easily transform your wired CarPlay/Android Auto into a wireless system that operates via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. So software updates are only accessible over the air, via its IP-based update webpage on the connected iPhone. I hope that Kia enables this natively (it definitely has the hardware), but for now I’m perfectly happy with this solution.
