Teeran CarPlay Wireless Adapter for Factory Wired CarPlay 2024 Upgrade Plug & Play Dongle Converts Wired to Wireless for Cars from 2015 & iPhone iOS 10+ (White)

So I don’t write many reviews. If something performs as expected I don’t review. I will write reviews if something doesn’t live up to expectations or if something greatly exceeds it. This device greatly (greatly) exceeded even my wildest expectations. I have a 2019 Acura RDX Aspec. I like keeping the cabin clean and minimal looking, so I was always disappointed having a long charging cable in my center console to use CarPlay with my iPhone and always having the console cover open. When I first heard about the wireless CarPlay adapters, I tried several. I was looking for something that worked early with minimal set up, had a small form factor, and connected everything without issues. I tried several much more expensive and larger adapters such as Ottocast U2-X Pro and Air, CarlinKit 3.0 and at least one other. I returned all. I had numerous problems from setup, to working consistently, to skipping audio. I was super disappointed and started thinking the issue might be with my Acura system. This Teeran popped up as a recommendation for me one day I was modifying one of my subscription orders. Based on the price and some of the reviews, I thought I would give it a shot. I am so glad I did!!! Setup was literally flawless. It took longer for my head unit to turn on than it took me to plug the Teeran into my USB port, check to see if the dongle showed up on my Wi-Fi list, go to Bluetooth, find it, and pair it! I did have to authorize it on my Acura’s screen and got one additional prompt on my iPhone, but the music I had previously been playing through my wired CarPlay connection started. Amazing! I almost didn’t believe it was working. So I shut the car off, opened the door (to shut down the head unit) closed the door, restarted the car and boom! CarPlay automatically started up and my music started playing again! I tested to make sure all of my steering wheel functions (track skip, rewind/fast forward, volume etc) worked and all did. All of this for (I think) about 1/2 the price of the *CHEAPEST* device I tried and returned. I can’t say enough about this Teeran. My only disclaimer is I don’t know if the Teeran just works extremely well with my Acura (and Honda I guess?), but based on my experience with the previous 4 devices, none of those worked on my system. In addition, the Teeran is the smaller of all the ones I tried. And it comes with s small 3M adhesive disk. I now have the device adhered to the inside of my center console and it takes up essentially no space ( there’s still room for my sunglasses case on that small side of the cup holders which illustrates - if you know the 2019 RDX - how low profile the Teeran is). Now I can drive and keep my console cover closed. It such a simple thing but I greatly appreciate being able to do that now!I am so glad I tried the Teeran and for the price, I’d easily recommend it to any friend or family member who wanted a wireless CarPlay adapter!

This CarPlay dongle works fairly well, was easy to install and get linked to my iPhone. The connection delay time varies; sometimes CarPlay is linked and running as soon as my car starts, other times it takes up to a minute to connect. It seems to me the connection delay depends on whether my iPhone was already connected to a WiFi network - this dongle (and most like it) make an initial link with your iPhone using Bluetooth, but then switches over to a 5 Ghz WiFi connection for the actual CarPlay. My guess is that if the phone is currently connected to another WiFi network (your home, office, etc.), then it won't connect to the dongle until you are out of range and it drops the previous WiFi connection. This is just a guess. I've also noticed that if I have been using my iPhone as an internet hotspot with my iPad, it won't connect to the dongle at all until I disconnect the hotspot.There have also been a few (rare) occasions where the dongle would not connect at all, and I had to turn off and restart my car to get it to work. This has only happened 2-3 times so far, and to be fair this also happened with the wired CarPlay connection in my Audi - so it may not be the dongle's fault.These are fairly minor niggles and I suspect they apply to any of these CarPlay adapter dongles sold on Amazon, not just this brand. The dongle itself is very small an easily hides inside my armrest storage. I like that the USB cable is permanently connected to the dongle, not plugged in creating another potential loose connection. Once connected, there is definitely a perceptible delay when making audio commands (e.g., pausing an audiobook or music) but not much delay when scrolling through apps or map functions.All in all, I'm fairly satisfied with the added convenience of wireless CarPlay connection.
