Carlinkit Ambient CarPlay AI Box Adapter is the latest 2024 model from the famous Carlinkit brand. I have reviewed most of the previous Carlinkit models, and it's one of the top brands because of the Stable Performance, Durability and Speed.
This new Carlinkit Ambient upgraded model runs on the latest Android 13 system with enhanced user interface and smooth & stable performance. It is powered by the Fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 6225 processor with 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage that can be expanded with a SD card. Both the Apple iPhone CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly on this device, with fast and accurate navigation. It allows both a SIM card option as well as mobile hotspot connectivity for internet access. The high speed Dual Bluetooth allows connection with external devices like remote controls, gamepads. Based on my test, I can say that this is definitely one of the Top Smart CarPlay AI Box in the market today, and it comes from a well known brand with excellent customer support

Thanks for the video! I can't decide which one I would get for my audi A6 (2021), any advice? The MMB Max 3.0 is for me almost $100 more expensive, do you notice any difference between to two or am I missing something?

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

I personally like either the MMB Max for its beautiful user interface or the new Ottocast P3, but these are premium devices. If you want a more affordable one, then go for this new Carlinkit Ambient model

[@accentiercorner596]

which one is better this newest version or the model before this is enough? any diff with the proce speed with the old model? like smoother or faster..

[@jlssmrd1]

Bought the MMB box, it’s great… when it works. I keep having connection issues with the car and with wifi, apps not working (like Disney+) and not able to update, poor customer support when I’m addressing issues. Don’t give clear instructions and I’m now blocked on their WhatsApp. So yeah, real pity.

Hi hope you can help I’m following the same steps you are doing for a split screen map and KZbin side by side. I’m getting the split screen option but for some reason I can’t get the map and KZbin work side by side ? Why is that I do manage to have split screen but strangely with any other apps but not the gmap any idea why ?

[@beordaznkid]

Thank you for the review. It would be helpful if you could include what are the specific specs that is different with this newer model compared to the older models. Is there a newer processor? How do they compare, maybe even a side by side comparison.

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

The main difference is the CPU , this Ambient model has SM6225 compared to the previous model with SM6125

[@BN-yq2sr]

Where can i see in de carlink that it is a SM6225 model?

[@davidtyler306]

Great video! Thanks!👌 It's a shame that no phone was tested (without a Handy phone!)🙏the main reason for buying this carlinkit is to be able to make calls with a SIM card without having to have a (Android) cell phone with you! does it work with the car system or from play-store app from this device? otherwise you don't need the Carlinkit and you can mirror everything on the monitor with your mobile phone... best regards ✌🤠

Mine treats the sim just like a cellphone would I am able to make calls and text with the respective apps and it is the number assigned to the sim

Hi, do you think you can do side-by-side comparison of Carlinkit Ambient vs iHeylinkit AI Box. The one both running Android 13. Which is faster between the two, which is more multifunctional.. if the machine tendency of overheating. Which is more expensive and affordable, which is more user-friendly if you want to use it in a rental car or traveling overseas and etc.. Thank you so much.💕

These are slightly old models, I suggest you check out the newer devices like MMB Max 5.0 or Ottocast P3, see below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6CUdniAjLClobM kzbin.info/www/bejne/aai9ipuGp7eVp7M

[@lhoriecalderon3020]

@@MinistryReviewsSchaz thanks for the reply. Checked the items you suggested. But i think it’s way too expensive for CarPlay. It’s not like we will be using those 24hrs 7days a week. 😂 also i live in Thailand and they dont have it here. That’s why maybe it’s way too pricey esp if will order it thru Amazon.. I just want something good to be able to access carplay in the car nothing fancy. But thanks for your response tho.

680 is the latest model but it doesnt come with USB A slot. You should check this newmodel from Carlinkit that comes with USB A port: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBjngI3

[@user-jh3dc6rw2n]

For Car link it TBOX MAX/ USB(660) product. My car supports only Wired Android Auto but no wired CarPlay. Can I use AI box as android player and Wireless Android Auto??

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

As per the manufacturers, this only works in cars with wired CarPlay function, but I am not sure about wired AA cars. My suggestion would be to order one from the reliable source that accepts returns and refunds easily, then try it out in your car, and if it doesnt work, return it and get your money back

[@CoupeLouver]

Does your radio have a usb outlet? It’s required to connect carlinkit to the radio. Also, you have to already have wired CarPlay/ android auto for it function. Hope this helps

[@marknichols8533]

How can I connect a wireless mouse and where do I put the USB for it.

I bought 2 Ambien carplay boxes to install in my Toyota Harrier. 2020 and installed in Mercedes Benz GLE 300D year 2020. Used the CarPlay box for about 1 month. Found two problems. 1. Apple Carpay reconnects itself often. 2. When opening the online radio app and Switching to open Google Maps causes a problem, unable to go back to playing other apps or change anything from the CarPlay box, that is, the CarPlay box hangs immediately. You have to disconnect the cable and restart it every time. Both problems are the same in both cars.

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

Yes, this is normal. There are 3 different systems on this platform, If you move out of native Android OS into the CarPlay system, then the internet gets disconnected and the carplay system will use internet with you phone

[@anis3003]

@@MinistryReviewsSchaz thank you. but how to make sure that once i come back to Android OS, hotspot connects automatically.

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

You will have to reconnect manually

[@richscott2483]

Same occurs with Ottocast Picasou 2 Pro. The hotspot needs to be reconnected when switching between Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Also, anytime you decide to use your Apple iPhone it disconnects the HotSpot and reverts back to normal WiFi. These devices work a bit strangely when using WiFi or Blue Tooth. I try to avoid using BT. Best to use your Phone as HotSpot or get yourself an activated nano-SIM card which does cost money so I prefer using my phone setting as Hotspot because I have an Unlimited Plan Magenta Max -First Responder- from T-Mobile for a cost of $40 USD per month. Know your surroundings/location as there are WiFi Dead Zones in rural areas where the phone has No Signal Bars.

whats the point of this when you can get a tablet holder and put an ipad pro instead? way blazingly faster and seamless experience that this crappy android box that takes 30s to even boot up

[@MinistryReviewsSchaz]

Good point, that's what I thought a couple of years back when I started reviewing these devices. But I can tell you, a tablet is not the solution as it is very inconvenient. Where would you put the tablet holder, it will take a lot of space and block other buttons on the dash. You cant leave the tablet in the car, especially in extreme weathers. You cant have the audio from the tablet link to the car sound system in most vehicles, there are many more reasons why these CarPlay adapters are better than a tablet. There are faster devices that take 15-20 secs to start

[@MrRovoLova]

@@MinistryReviewsSchaz you can get one of those tablet holders that fit into the cup holders, so it doesnt block off the dash area. A tablet can connect to the car's audio system via bluetooth so you get great surround sound while still using the ipad pro's superior screen, compared to the car's much smaller lower resolution screen. I just picked up a new car which has both wired and wireless carplay. Still deciding if i should get this android box or just use my ipad
