Purchased August 17th, 2024. (“Prime Day” sale.)
It worked as it should in my 2019 Ford Ranger when I first received it. I added a T-mobile SIM card and that, too, worked exactly as it should. On first boot, notified me that an update was available, which I immediately installed.
For a couple of weeks, it did exactly what I it’s supposed to do. I could use internet and GPS on my head unit without needing to start a hotspot on my phone, and I still had access to wireless CarPlay (through the CarlinKit unit) if I wanted to use my phone instead. I also set the unit to allow for hotspotting every time I started my truck so my daughter could always use her (wifi only) tablet while we’re on the road.
Then little things started going wrong. First, the auto-hotspot feature got flaky and I had to consistently, manually, start the hotspot from the headunit. (Annoying, but not a deal breaker.)
Then the internet stopped consistently working. Sometimes it would still work, but sometimes the unit would report a strong LTE connection, but Waze and Spotify and YouTube Music all only worked in offline mode.
Then, a few days ago, less than a month after purchasing, the unit stopped projecting to my head unit. It’s a brick now – it hasn’t worked in days and my truck doesn’t even know that there’s a “CarPlay” device connected.
Using the same cable that the CarlinKit is connected with, I tried my iPhone – CarPlay still works from there. That means that both the cable and the head unit are still working the way they should.
Definitely regretting this purchase right now…
Customer Review –
This is a next generation “Magic Box” multimedia adaptor. The first generation of these came out in early 2023 and were notoriously laggy. In particular, the wired to wireless Android auto and Carplay conversion often had audio lags of three to four seconds. The multimedia, Youtube and Netflix functions were spotty at best, often presenting pixelated and choppy videos.
This new generation runs on a newer version of Android (13) and appears to have a faster processor. There is still some lag in the wireless AA/CP conversion but not as bad as with the older devices. Its a manageable 1-2 seconds now and really only noticeable when you try to control the audio track from your phone. The multimedia options are improved as well with movement between apps and videos being much more responsive. There are still occasional artifacts in videos but that may well be due to my mobile device connection and not the convertor. Overall, this is a vastly improved device and is available at a lower price than the 2023 version.

Love this product. Enjoyed it only a couple of trips. Now it doesn’t cover full screen anymore because Toyota had a infotainment update a few weeks ago and now the side bar doesn’t autohide anymore. Nothing in Toyota infotainment options to remove it and nothing CarlinKit offers to taken it out neither. So the bar is annoying and make is a distraction when watching movies. Company needs to figure out how to get rid of it while using the carlinkit. Others toyota owners having same issues since the update. Toyota doesn’t care either.

Después de buscar y leer lo compre para mi Toyota Camry XSE 2018, ya que trajo solamente apple carplay y mis celulares siempre han sido android, se ve de maravilla en la pantalla, corre bien y es fluido, tremenda compra, gracias.

I’m sure this is a good company with good customer service. However the product does not work at all. I have a 2024 5th Gen 4 Runner with wired carplay and android auto + a brand new Galaxy S24 Ultra. Phone and android auto up to date. When I connect, it shows the auto kit icon. Doesn’t auto connect. When i click icon it says ‘no music files found”. And then my phone says “looking for android auto”.
It never finds it. But when I plug in another wireless dongle, it finds it instantly. Customer service didn’t return communication.

This new CarPlay AI box is a game-changer. Upgraded to Android 13, it runs smoother with less lag, especially in wireless mode. Switching between apps like YouTube and Google Maps is a breeze. There’s still a tiny delay with audio, but it’s way better than older models. Setup was a cinch—just plug and play. Definitely an upgrade worth considering!
