Apple really needs to release its own wireless adapter, that way you know it will work. All these reviews online are mixed some say it works others say it’s trash and it really makes me weary of spending 100 dollars on something that won’t work.
@remyd87672 жыл бұрын
It's because they're so many car models out there that with different internals. Unless the car manufacturer regression tested these 3rd party accessories, there's no guarantee it will work or work perfectly. Then again if they are going ahead to spend the time to test it, they might as well just invest in implementing wireless natively

Thank you for the video. It was great. I have a question that if you fix this, it will help me heaps! I use the Ottocast U2AIR Pro wireless adapter. But when I turn my car off, I cannot use Siri for approx 30 seconds… which I’m a nurse, so I’m usually trying to send important messages while walking into a job. It’s like my CarPlay stays connected to my phone for 30 seconds, even though my car is locked and off. I drive a 2018 Subaru outback.

Great review. I also bought the same product for my 2018 Kia stonic. It’s works perfectly. Just one question: when you turn off the car, turn off the car stereo and close the car (or simply open the door) does the dongle stay on in your Hunday? on my kia the blue led on the dongle never turns off unless I unplug the usb port. thank you
@TheJVCMan2 жыл бұрын
That would more depend on the car rather than the dongle itself. It depends if the USB you are using is running off a switching 12v or if it's always on. If the USB socket is always on, then yes as you say the only way to turn off the box is to unplug it. Most cars switch the USB sockets off when the ignition is fully switched off. But it's nothing to do with the box but entirely on the car.
