desertcart.com: Carlinkit 3.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter USB for Factory Wired CarPlay Cars (Model Year: 2015 to 2026), Wireless CarPlay Dongle Convert Wired to Wireless CarPlay : Electronics

Review: Works as advertised - UPDATE: 11-01-2025 I am STILL loving this product. I've had it almost 2 years now end it still works great. I think I'm going to buy another one just in case this one breaks, I mean it has to wear out at some point. Rarely do I buy a product on desertcart or anywhere else, where it does what it says it's going to do and it does it so well and for so long. If I could give a sixth star I would. ******* ORIGINAL REVIEW I received this earlier today and it installed easily and seamlessly. No hiccups. I have a 2020 Mitsubishi outlander sport, and I simply plugged the unit into my usb port in my car and it fired right up. There were no decisions to make, no codes to enter, I plugged it in and within about 30 seconds it started working. Basically, it sets up a new Bluetooth connection, which supersedes the normal Bluetooth you might have set up with your car direct to your phone. It works identical to a wired set up, the only difference is there is a tiny lag with the wireless set up as opposed to the wired. But the lag is tiny, and I got used to it quickly. I took about a half hour drive on the highway just to test everything out, and everything works just as well as with the wired, voice dictate, Siri, etc. Again, the only difference I could tell was that tiny lag. I also did some shopping meaning I got in and out of my car several times, of course turning it on and off, and it seems to be about 20 seconds from the time you start your car to the time that it's ready to go. The only negative, and it wasn't even a negative for me because my set up was flawless, was the little direction book was very terse; indeed, there's better instructions on the desertcart product description page. It did ship with a tech-support card giving clear instructions of how to contact technical support if you do have problems. But again, I didn't have ANY problems. I plugged it in and it started up and started working the way I expected it to. Tomorrow, I have a wireless charger/phone holder coming in so this should get me off of chords completely. I've only used it one day now, but I'm completely satisfied with it. It does everything I expected it to do.
Review: When it worked it’s awesome. But, questionable quality and no support from the company. - UPDATE 9 SEP 2021 Still no resolution. Unit does not work and manufacturer hasn’t responded to my requests. I would give it 0 stars simply because they don’t support their customers or product. UPDATE 8 AUG 2021 The manufacturer has been no help resolving the issue and I’m still out money and a working unit with no resolution in sight. As I mentioned in my original review, when the product worked it was awesome. But it broke within two months and the company is not responding to my requests for technical support or replacement. Do not buy! ___________________________________ Two stars… The product itself works great when it works. I would give the functionality 4 1/2 or 5 stars. But apparently the quality of the product and their technical support leave a little to be desired. The unit is inoperable in less than two months. It was a little tricky to set up at first. When I plugged it into the car to set it up, it did not go smoothly. A back up method of setting it up was to plug it into a USB plug and plug it into an outlet in your house. You can then access it through an IP address. I was able to reset it. After this, set up went fairly OK. For the first five or six weeks, the unit worked beautifully. It takes about 10 seconds to boot up after the car is turned on but after that, it was great. An occasional bit of static or a little stutter in the music every so often, but otherwise it was a huge convenience and I loved it. However, it bricked on me about two weeks ago. The unit displays a solid red light. I cannot access it through Bluetooth or through the IP address like I did before. I’ve gotten no response from the manufacturer. My return window closed after 30 days so that no longer seems to be an option. I would recommend waiting for reviews that have used the unit for at least 90 days. It was nice while it lasted, but I won’t be purchasing another one and I’m out $100. If the manufacturer ever contacts me and rectifies the situation, I’ll update this review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great in my 2020 GMC Sierra SLT - pleasantly surprised!
*by A***. on October 14, 2021*

After initial setup in my 2020 GMC Sierra SLT, it's pretty much flawless. I mounted it with some industrial Velcro inside my center console and have no issues with signal loss. The reviewers who state that the sound quality is poor are either lying or doing something wrong. The data is NOT sent over Bluetooth, it's wifi. Bluetooth is only used for initial setup. If there's any signal degradation vs wired, it's practically imperceptible. The only issues I've had are 1) when my phone's cell signal is weak, CarPlay generally works strangely, if at all (not the fault of this device), and 2) sometimes my phone decides not to connect to the device wifi since there's no internet connection. Occasionally I have to fiddle with it to get it to connect. But 19 times out of 20, when I hop in the truck, CarPlay connects automatically without even taking my phone out of my pocket. I do agree with the reviewer who said this isn't really a great product for people who aren't tech savvy, as it requires a general understanding of how it works in order to troubleshoot. Overall, it's totally worth the money and takes away one of the last quibbles I had with my new truck.
