Hey all! Looking to cut the cord with my CarPlay setup and can't decide between Carlinkit 5.0 vs Ottocast U2-Air. Anyone using either of these? Would love to hear about connection stability and overall experience. Worth the investment? π€

Been using Carlinkit 5.0 for about 2 weeks. Not gonna say it's the best, but pretty solid tbh. Takes like 20 seconds to connect but after that it's smooth. Doing my daily commute (about 45 mins each way) with zero issues. Not cheap but def worth not dealing with cables anymore!

These wireless adapters are all Chinese garbage..... Just wait for Apple to make an official one. You're welcome ;)

Had both Ottocast and Carlinkit. Here's the deal:
Honestly? Both are good. Carlinkit wins if you share your car, Ottocast is perfect for solo drivers. Just keep a charger handy either way.

Guys the real question is why tf are we still using USB in 2025?! π

Had both - started with Ottocast, switched to Carlinkit 5.0. Both are good but Carlinkit wins for me. Faster connection and can handle multiple devices. Bit pricier but worth it if you share your car.

PSA: Watch out for battery drain on long trips! Learned this the hard way on a 6-hour drive. Now I always keep a charger in the car. Other than that, wireless CarPlay is a game changer!

yo
I use the Carlinkit downtown everyday. Works fine even between skyscrapers. Only drops in lower wacker but everything drops there lmao. Battery dies quick tho so keep a charger handy

Using u2-air here. Super easy setup, just plug and pair. Been solid for my 40-min commute. No complaints except maybe a tiny lag when switching songs, but barely noticeable.
