Ottocast vs CarlinKit Review - Which is the Best Wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Adapter?

[@txhondaguy]

Faster connection for carlinkit sealed the deal. Bought a 5.0 based on your video. Works well

[@elcioluizjunior]

What you think, carlinkit 5 or ottocast?

[@bradley7506]

There is a button on the autocast which you can press to reboot it without unplugging it and plugging it back in. This will also allow you to choose a second phone from the list at boot up.

[@nitraat551]

Actually the Carlinkit 4.0 supports both CarPlay and AndroidAuto.

[@rustywalsh56]

exactly, i have the 4.0 as well. Been in my last 3 cars and i only have a Android phone. Work perfectly every time, except these days, takes a bit longer to boot up. Looking at the 5.0 unit

[@GunnyPhillips]

Nice basic comparison. I don't have these two units but have tried several others. Each works basically the same. They're fine for basic functions such as music and even navigation. The problems start when i try to make phone calls or join meetings while navigating. I have yet to find a Carplay adapter that can handle this.

[@GPalango]

Thanks for the review! Which one should I get for a 2016 Mercedes CLA?

[@andresfelipe8605]

The best review, thank you so much 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@garylyons101]

The thing is you cant use your steering wheel buttons thats not good to fast forward songs and volume etc

[@showtime4956]

What is the purpose of CarlinKit 5.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter, which has a Wire?

[@alanalso]

Nice comparison. Thank you!

[@michaelpapili4139]

If I have a third phone or replace my phone on the Ottocast U2x, can I reset the list of paired phones or remove an old phone?

[@CarFanatic]

Yes you can

[@zaizai2045]

how about setting it to auto connect then turning off Bluetooth on the phone and opening the Bluetooth of the other phone?

[@latt46]

Nice review, you mention carlinkit doesnt support android auto, yes they do, i have 4.0 and 5.0 and my Pixel connects to both of them.

[@sparringpartner85]

does your car support both wired carplay and android auto or only carplay? thank you

[@rohitbrowsing]

incredible review, thanks a lot.

[@susanmeredith4957]

How does navigation work with Carlin, and does it work with the Toyota steering wheel buttons, and voice control?

[@RobHTech]

U can’t back out of CarPlay on the Carlinkit?

[@christianmbabazi9722]

would those work on a 2018 camry

[@marzero116]

Carlinkit 4.0 will allow Carplay only cars to be able to use Android Auto.

[@Berkto00]

They is notocable delay when using wheel controls on Carlinkit :(

[@briangreene4277]

Great review. Does both of these items work with 2022 Nissan Murano and 2023 Nissan Sentra SR??

[@brandonsmeltzer4331]

I have Amazon carplay adapter from COVS DIRECT ($60). Connects similarly to the two brands mentioned here. Sound quality is same as wired. Only issue I found with “LAG” is watching KZbin. The audio is behind. Voice doesn’t match the person’s lips. This is the lag I’m talking about. It’s annoying but not a dealbreaker. How are these brands with that? And would the GPS lag as well. These are the two issues I’m hoping to see resolved with these adapters with either a better brand or firmware updates in the future.

[@aeroneflores412]

That's an issue with ALL wireless carplay adapters

[@Eddy-iv3qv]

I have a 12" screen, I wish my ottocast would fill up the whole screen.

[@aspiziri]

Can you say more about this? Do you get black bars or something?

[@Eddy-iv3qv]

@@aspiziri The screen on my Porsche is 12" wide. Using AA with the Ottocast adapter only fills up 80% of my touchscreen. There's a big black bar on the end.

[@robertl1244]

It's cool but my suv screen is just music stuff. The screen is not video... as far as I know. Came with out 2015 highlander, so I would just watch Netflix on my phone!

[@johnsantos5183]

Thanks for the review, I bought carlinkit v3, this one has the android system built in version 9 or android 9, so will see how it goes using my galaxy fold 4, using this carlink to my ford maverick.

[@12current]

I have a 22 Ford Maverick, is there a latency/delay problem?

[@bradley7506]

Ottocast works when choosing between android and iPhone but what about when my spouse and I both have iPhones? Will the unit show a menu with the 2 iPhones to choose from or does that only work when one phone is android and one phone is iPhone?

[@CarFanatic]

It will give you an option to choose which one to connect to upon startup

[@blulach]

im using carlinkit 5.0 with audi s3 2018 and the response time is terrible. when I press a button (like pause or forward) within an audio app on carplay it takes about 2 seconds. this is not the case when using a cable, so clearly a device problem. even though they say the response time is 300ms its not true. idk if that is the same with the ottocast or if it really depends on the connected car.

[@windycitystig3680]

Does your car need a USB C port? I have older vehicles with older USB ports.

[@CarFanatic]

It doesn't. My car uses a regular USB to connect to the phone for wired Carplay and Android Auto.

[@marcdeclercq5580]

Hello, I am looking for a device so that i can i mirror my iphone screen to the dashboard of my vehicle while i run on off-line navigator on my iphone in a wireless way. Is it also possible to use the tactile dashboard of the car to send instructions to my iphone? Kr, Marc

[@JonathanGonzalez-gb7vo]

which one has the least lag?

[@CarFanatic]

Neither has noticeable lag! Visit here for a good deal thecreatorstash.com/link/022bf95a-90b3-4714-b927-cd6b77dcf00c

[@socalifone3044]

Carlink has a 2.0. Android and Apple compatible

[@Jackdman25]

No. Carlinkit has version 4 that finally brought Android auto compatibility

[@fishingwiththejoneses2682]

Do these work even if you don’t have Apple CarPlay already?

[@CarFanatic]

No it doesn't

[@terryhill6812]

I got the android ai from one car stereo

[@jimf5160]

have you looked at the motorola equivalent?

[@CarFanatic]

I looked into it but it doesn't work for my situation because i need both wireless Apple Carplay and AA. From reviews I've seen, the Motorola can be a little laggy and it's actually not a Motorola product. Motorola just licensed their name to the actual manufacturer.

[@jeffg1639]

I have the Motoral MA1 and works great for my android

[@Flap_Dzack]

I have the Motorola kit and the Moto Sylus phone, GPS lags forme,Like Make a turn after you pass the turn at 30mph it is bad lags like 500ft after turn . @@CarFanatic

[@CarFanatic]

Thanks for watching. Both products are available below: Ottocast: amzn.to/3SWO5Fr CarlinKit: amzn.to/3MYnYd9

[@oguzhanfakili]

Sorry. I don't know English. Which one good?

[@Orhan-wc4ib]

I bought this product, navigation and music control delay is terrible. And I wonder why people don’t review this device while they’re driving to showcase navigation and other controls’ responsiveness, which is not acceptable for me. I will go back to use my cable and return this to seller.

[@CarFanatic]

Which one did you get and what vehicle do you have?

[@Snoopy34491]

Which product were you dissatisfied with? Two were reviewed.

[@Jackdman25]

You say “This product”… which one is it??

[@mikeodell5915]

Thank u

[@tonesmith909]

What a numptee!

[@gigeo48]

I got tired of I phones idiosyncracies. I now use my android and it works fine with no plug in.

Tha Shit ist crazy maby i Buy this
