Cast ANY HDMI Device to CarPlay Display | CarlinKit HDMI to CarPlay Adapter Review

Hey Anthony, Can you use a usb-c to hdmi from your phone to this adapter?

If it only had touch support via usb c passtrough. It would be perfect

So according to both videos ottocast hdmi adapter is better?

Will I lose wireless Apple car play

Watching your video it looks like my Apple car play will still work but you just leave the cable in or do you have to disconnect it then plug your phone in?

That would make Samsung Dex super useful. but I see touch doesn’t work through pass through 😢

Interesting device but like you say could end up with numerous cables. Thanks for reviewing👍

So if my 2024 Kia has CarPlay and android auto this won’t work ?

Great video!! Been watching your different videos all day, my main question is what is that next device you previewed, I’m about to pull the trigger on the item in this video. What I really want is to be able to watch DIRECTV app but it doesn’t work on my magic box and was thinking I’d just take this route with a fire stick.

Hello Anthony, First of all thank you for your great videos.
I have a BMW i4 and it only has wireless Carplay, so no wired Carplay. I'm afraid this device won't work then. Is that right?

Has anyone had issues with this device? I bought one because of this video but it’s like it’s not being recognized as a phone with gmc sierra 2023 13.2”

My dodge has CarPlay but I’ve read reviews that it does not work on dodge? Any advice how to use my dodge screen as a 2nd monitor for my laptop

Anyone having issues with the sound being distorting. Tried to change the firestick sound options with no luck. Please help

Does this work in iDrive8 that only has wirelss carplay support. If not what ways could i add hdmi in to an iDrive8 screen. Thanks

This video was very interesting and informative.

I have an aftermarket infotainment system in my BMW 1 series which flicks between the BMW idrive system and a menu with Carplay and Android Auto by long pressing the Menu button. The head unit has 2 USB Ports going into the glove box, aswell as a Factory fitted USB Port in the center console.

I have a Samsung so I use wireless Android Auto.
Will this device work with my head unit?

Can i use this carlink adapter in my Bmw?

Samsung Dex work?

I bought two of these thinking the first one was faulty. I can't get it to connect. I have other devices including Carlinkit AI boxes that have connected to my car but this one recognizes it as "phone" and when I hit connect it tells me cannot connect make sure I have carplay on and my wifi and bluetooth on. I have them on and nothing. Any advice or am I missing a step in setup or is it just not compatible where all other boxes have been. I even had the Ottocast TV Mate HDMI that connects but only gives me 4x3 screen size so I don't like that one. Can you help. Thanks

Annoying accent ,,mate” ..

Great Video mate. If I have a cig power socket that can give power to it. Would the Apple TV work with this too?

Will it play on my screen in the front and my rear entertainment system?

steam deck?

Hello, does this have apple carplay as well or it only supports hdmi? I am a little confused! I am looking for both wireless carplay and hdmi!

I just got this today. I cant figure out how to update the device. I see update option but idk what to do. Any ideas?

My firestick comes on then blinks off. I have a 2023 tahoe. I've tried multiple firsticks

Cannot Connect with Skoda Superb 2025 L&K.
I’ll appreciate for any solution ideas?

My player only have wireless carplay, is it compatible?

Do you prefer this or the Garlinkit
FireDrive Link?
