Great product for a good price

"Have been using this Android Auto Adaptor for a few weeks now and it works great! Setup is very easy and the lag is minimal, it's just the regular Bluetooth lag, that even existed when the phone was wired to the car. It does come with an USB to USB-C extension in case yhe care takes USB-C only instead. The only thing is questioning myself, why I didn’t made this purchase sooner!"

Good solution, works well and easy to setup.

"This is a very solid option for wireless Apple Car Play. I haven't tried the Android auto but I'm guessing that is solid as well as this device has good reviews overall. As with any tech related gear these days, experiences may vary, so I figured I'd throw mine in for good measure. It connects every time, pretty quickly. I haven't timed it but I'm guessing within 10 seconds or so (by the time you're settled and ready to enter a route etc). I have a case or two where it seemed to take a little longer on a loading screen but that could also be my vehicle infotainment system / electronics, (it has crashed and glitched a time or two) and experiences vary there as well. Once connected it stays connected so no issues there that I can recall. Audio does not seem to be degraded over bluetooth but I don't listen to a lot of music. Bottom line is this solution works very well and is a good option for a discreet and affordable wireless adapter. Thanks Best Buy, and thanks Aluratek!"

The Must-Have Wireless Upgrade for Any Car

"Absolutely Worth It — Makes Every Drive Better! I’ve been using the Aluratek Wireless Car Adapter for a while now, and it has completely transformed my driving experience. Setup was incredibly simple—just plug it in, pair once, and it connects automatically every time I start the car. No more fumbling with cables or waiting for my phone to recognize the system. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run flawlessly, which is perfect for households with different devices. The connection is fast, stable, and responsive, with virtually no lag when switching apps, taking calls, or navigating with Google Maps or Apple Maps. Music streaming is smooth, and voice commands work just as well as they do when wired. I also love how compact the device is—clean look, no extra clutter, and it blends perfectly with the car interior. For the convenience it adds, this adapter is easily one of the best tech upgrades I’ve made to my vehicle. If you want to make your car instantly feel more modern and cable-free, the Aluratek adapter is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!"

Instant Upgrade

"I purchased one at Best Buy to replace my recently deceased Motorola wireless AA. Immediately it was apparent I made a wise choice to switch. Connection to this device for wireless AA was a breeze and so far has been responsive as soon as I turn on my car and get going. I'll most likely buy a second unit for my other vehicle!"

Q&A

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How many phones can connect to the adapter?

Only 1 phone can connect at a time. That phone will then have control of the audio to the car. You can disconnect that phone and when you connect a different phone simply make sure Bluetooth is turned off on the first phone so the adapter doesn't grab that one first. Now the second phone can pair via Bluetooth easily.

If my car doesn't have carplay already will this work if I just plug it in?

No. This adpater only supports vehicles equipped with factory wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Vehicles in the 2015 to 2025 range are going to be most compatible.

Could you plug this into a tv that is not a smart tv

No. It's just meant for a car stereo system.

Can you watch videos or YouTube?

This is not supported because Apple CarPlay and Android Auto do not support streaming video.

What if my car only support USB-C connections?

This product with a Type-C adapter so regardless of your car's USB port, the wireless car adapter will be a universal fit.
