Ottocast Play2Video Pro Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto All-in-one Adapter Unboxing and Review

[@andy1daniel2]

Ok, i have purchased one of ottocast play 2 video, but i am not able to connect in my car. What app you are using here in the video? Where you are able to run all of the other app's, like netflix, youtube...? Thanks in advance

[@jevgenijevgeni2481]

Does it have Waze in it? If yes, can it be used as a split screen with youtube? Thanks!

[@XeroHertz]

I have no idea why this doesn't work on my 2016 Cadillac CTS with wired carplay but surprisingly works well on my dad's 2016 GMC Yukon.. Both cars share similar GM infotainment systems. I've also mentioned my car model on checkout.. 🙄

[@jamieconrad7762]

Can you add other streaming apps like max, paramount, direct tv?

[@sampalas1930]

Does the screen need to be touch screen or does it work on round turner next to the gearstick

[@arekfalana6859]

Can you connect it to your iPhone Hot Spot internet when you are using Apple Car Play on the road?

[@DIYReid]

Technically your phone will use the phones internet for carplay.

[@perrygregorio5715]

Your Bluetooth will work with the CarPlay. You have to have CarPlay off to watch Netflix or KZbin

[@markofficer3267]

@@perrygregorio5715how do you turn it off

[@josegarcia-bz8ct]

Bluetooth connection sucks it only wants to connect when I’m in the house and when I’m I car it doesn’t work only sometimes

[@Devanarestylez]

Are you able to play .mp3 songs off the thumb drive?

[@randiepage9265]

Can I get the link for this please and the coupon

[@PabloMedina-w2d]

So, does the car need to have CarPlay or Android Auto built-in for these devices to work? I thought these devices actually added CarPlay or Android Auto to the car. If that’s not the case, are there any devices that can add CarPlay or Android Auto to the car?

[@DIYReid]

It adds wireless carplay/android auto. The vehicle has to already have carplay or android auto for this to work.

[@lakendrickcantlow1343]

So if i have a basic dually and I equipped it with a Phoenix automotive tesla screen I can't use any of the ottocast products via USB/hotspot??? Thanks for the help

[@lakendrickcantlow1343]

​@@DIYReidso to be a bother but u confused me the above guy does this add car play android out and u answered that it adds it to the cat but followed with the car has to have it already

[@BTL3.0]

@@lakendrickcantlow1343if you already have an android stereo, why do you need this? Does your tesla style stereo nit come with carplay build in? There are other carplay module out there made specifically for android type stereo so you can get carplay on it. You’ll have to search for it. Like carlink module.

[@BTL3.0]

@@lakendrickcantlow1343watch the video again, at the 2:09 mark he said what it does. Your car must have wired carplay/aa already in the factory radio already. With this module, it convert your wired carplay into wireless.. so you do not have to hook up your phone everytime you drive. It does it wirelessly.

[@smrochin]

Sadly, it didn't work with mine. Let's see how the return process goes.

[@DIYReid]

What kind of vehicle? It seems like BMW’s it doesn’t work.

[@smrochin]

@@DIYReid kia carnival

[@DIYReid]

Does it not have CarPlay?

[@smrochin]

@DIYReid definitely does, I can hook up my phone zero issues.

[@emouschakis]

The IPTV application is IPTV Smarters Pro?

[@wkepler]

yes

[@davidreems6088]

I see Netflix and KZbin on my screen but I try to use it but it says no internet connection!! What steps do I take to connect to the internet so I can watch Netflix and so on like you’re showing??

[@DIYReid]

You need to connect it to the internet via a mobile hotspot.

[@davidreems6088]

When you say via mobile hotspot, is that something you do on your phone or the car?

[@DIYReid]

@davidreems6088 most phones have the capability. It depends on your phone service if you can do it. Or you can buy a mobile hotspot from your cell company.

[@perrygregorio5715]

Go to the settings on the screen where Netflix and KZbin are, Go to networks then scroll through to find a wifi signal and make sure your phones Hotspot is on. If Im home my wifi will pop up, I put in my password and Im golden… as long as I can get the signal. My phone hotspot is sadly more miss than hit. This is the biggest problem for me.

[@MrAdoons]

Thank you so much

[@kiketikeblust]

What if i have KZbin premium can I watch my downloaded videos?

[@kiketikeblust]

Without Internet?

[@kokakis233]

Ι just go it and it is very good. Any idea why the subtitles are not appeared in my Movies? I have plugged in a memory stick with movies, including the srt files but the system doesn't recognize them. I would be glad if you could help me with this.

[@miniossanfran5748]

My 2017 car has screen but not carplay. If i get it can i see iptv or netflix on the screen? Thank u

[@DIYReid]

No

[@craigharper7113]

I have a question? If you have the screen that ppl buy for older model cars can you have both going in your suv, especially if you have a lighter plug in the back of your suv, think you can have your regular screen playing Netflix etc. And the bought screen mounted in the back for your guest somewhere?

[@Antikythera2011]

Is this better than the PicaSou 2 CarPlay AI box?

[@zoonraugluss]

Does it work for screen that is not touchscreen?

[@DIYReid]

As long as you have carplay or android auto already. I'm assuming you use a joystick to control a curser?

[@wkepler]

it comes with a remote control too if you choose

[@NathanT87]

I can't get android auto working inside of the device. It will switch me to regular android auto.

[@DIYReid]

What

[@NathanT87]

@@DIYReid nevermind, I figured it out. Lol. It's just rather clunky the way it all works. I'm sending it back and trying a different brand. One I can add apps to.

[@Losthegr88]

Netflix comes pre installed on the device, can you use an iPhone to watch mirror on the screen?

[@wkepler]

comes pre installed

[@klam82]

Can this connect through my phones data (without tethering) if i only use google maps and youtube music?

[@DIYReid]

If you use Apple car play or android auto

[@marinzovko7113]

Cool review. You are really good in this.

[@DIYReid]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@dccon229]

Man this is crazy. With Android base you can do anything

[@DIYReid]

Unfortunately you can’t use the play store to download apps on this one.

[@陈墨-c4w]

This brand has a product called P3 that can do what you're talking about. ottocast

[@manvanross]

@@DIYReidthat was going to be my question. I have other apps I’d like to use from my CarPlay. Solar control apps, weather etc. any idea which device would allow that?

[@DIYReid]

@manvanross so you’re wanting apps on your phone that don’t work with CarPlay to work? I dont think it’ll work unless it mirrors your phone.

[@manvanross]

@@DIYReid ok thanks for the reply

[@justinoliver5645]

Can you use this on a aftermarket stereo

[@DIYReid]

Yes. As long as it has CarPlay or android auto

[@djfrancis4571]

Will this work for 2020 Toyota rav4?

Does it have CarPlay

[@fix4life846]

Will this work in 2014 nissan maxima?

[@channguyen2040]

My phone blue tube is connected but youtube not connect

[@DIYReid]

You have to connect to a hotspot.

[@Powerfade54]

Why not just get a couple of cheap tablets like a Fire HD 10 Tablet and link them to your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot. That's safer, more versatile, can load up any app, and convenient. I keep a tablet in my glove box ready to be used at any time. Using a tablet is by far the better way to go.

[@kingofdaslumz]

So would my android phone work instead? Android phones are really smaller tablets

[@THISRW]

How tf do I get the internet working

[@DIYReid]

Go to settings and under wifi settings find your internet signal.

[@1nkman]

Did you say otterrbox? You mean Ottocast?

[@DIYReid]

I mean ottocast. Did I say otter box once or twice?

[@1nkman]

@@DIYReid twice no worries Still a excellent video.

[@STAVRINIDES]

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.

[@VeniVidiAjax]

Stop being salty bro. You’re saying this under all their vieros

[@STAVRINIDES]

@@VeniVidiAjax I am not salty at all. This is just the truth

Of course you leave out how to connect it to internet...smh lol

[@knado8135]

Does that blue taskbar ever go away? It didnt while you had Netflix or KZbin up...

[@DIYReid]

Yes. Once the video plays it does. KZbin once you play full screen it does.
