Car TV Mate Pro – HDMI Multimedia & Wireless CarPlay Adapter

It was perfect when i found out there was a device to make your carplay wireless. It worked great out of the box and easy to setup. Had it for about 4months now and it started failing on me after 1-2months of use. I drive only about 3-4hours a week on avg. so it hasnt been used as much for long commute drivers.Here is how it started giving problems.1. Carplay started to lag randomly where it takes about 5 sec of more to respond when i click a button. (This is with the phone being cool near the ac at all times, most or all apps closed not to over use the memory on the phone). I restart the device, unplug. And try restarting the phone and doesnt change the performance.2. Im driving and carplay just disconnects randomly. Its happened all the times when i drove about 1hour or more. Its really annoying and dangerous as im driving with waze or google maps navi checking live traffic and directions. Sometimes it takes about a minute to give me the option to reconnect but its not that reliable where i have to disconnect and drive and its just overheating and doesnt do anything.3. Music does not continue from playing after using the phone. In other words, im listening to my music playing from my phone through carplay and i pick up the phone via carplay and hangup and music doesnt play. I press play and it doesnt do anything. I goto my radio station and works perfectly. I tried getting on the phone again and after hanging up, music plays again. I dont know what the issue is with this bug but it doesnt work all the time with the trick ive found out.4. Lag is unreal at times and there is no way to reset it. Especially when driving using the nav from waze. Lag is so bad that i have to figure out the direction from the voiceover giving directions.

We’ll this started off great. I was able to follow instructions and connect effortlessly my iPhone to our car’s CarPlay wirelessly.Unfortunately, I added a second phone – my wife’s – seemingly without a problem. She gets in the car a little later and her phone doesn’t connect.After troubleshooting, I attempt to remove the AutoSky device from her phone and remove the device from our car in settings. After several attempts to restart the car with the Apple cable connected for CarPlay, the car and the phone no longer connected at all. AutoSky completely bricked my CarPlay.Unfortunately, I thought this little USB adapter would’ve been non-invasive. But instead, it messed up our car’s CarPlay and my wife’s phone’s ability to connect to CarPlay. I have not yet tried my phone to see if it will reconnect using the Apple cable but will later.I will not be trying other brands either for the potential risk and causing me to have to go for the car dealer/manufacturer for something so unnecessary.Contact appears to be email only. RED FLAG. I should’ve known better. I’m sure it may be good email support but having a tech company, you should really have a number to call if someone runs into tech issues so they can troubleshoot live.I’ll have to sacrifice wireless convenience for CarPlay system reliability. Glad it worked for others, but unfortunately not for us.

I received this earlier today and it installed easily and seamlessly. No hiccups. I have a 2020 Mitsubishi outlander sport, and I simply plugged the unit into my usb port in my car and it fired right up. There were no decisions to make, no codes to enter, I plugged it in and within about 30 seconds it started working. Basically, it sets up a new Bluetooth connection, which supersedes the normal Bluetooth you might have set up with your car direct to your phone.It works identical to a wired set up, the only difference is there is a tiny lag with the wireless set up as opposed to the wired. But the lag is tiny, and I got used to it quickly.I took about a half hour drive on the highway just to test everything out, and everything works just as well as with the wired, voice dictate, Siri, etc.Again, the only difference I could tell was that tiny lag. I also did some shopping meaning I got in and out of my car several times, of course turning it on and off, and it seems to be about 20 seconds from the time you start your car to the time that it’s ready to go.The only negative, and it wasn’t even a negative for me because my set up was flawless, was the little direction book was very terse; indeed, there’s better instructions on the Amazon product description page. It did ship with a tech-support card giving clear instructions of how to contact technical support if you do have problems. But again, I didn’t have ANY problems. I plugged it in and it started up and started working the way I expected it to.Tomorrow, I have a wireless charger/phone holder coming in so this should get me off of chords completely.I’ve only used it one day now, but I’m completely satisfied with it. It does everything I expected it to do.
