Carlinkit 4.0 vs 5.0 - The New King of Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapters?

Lets go Devils and Yankees!

so my stock Head unit both supports wired carplay and android auto, which is better for me? 4.0 or 5.0?

Feel like its not that great if you want to be switching between wired and wireless and hard to switch between different phones too, not as easy as sharing an aux cable for sure. I have android auto and had to disconnect and forget the bluetooth from my car to phone, connect the phone's wifi to the carlink and then connect the bluetooth of the phone to the carlink. Then it made the display output a lot smaller than how it is on wired android auto.
When I disconnected it and tried to go back to wired android auto, I had to forget the carlink bluetooth and re-pair the car bluetooth for calls to be heard through the speakers of the car, like anyone would prefer.
Quite clunky and wireless seems to drain the battery quick too, best to just stick with wired and use this when the cable inevitably goes bad and you're in-between getting a replacement cable.

I have 3 version and it stopped working. It can connect in the first time of the day, but then it completely blocks and I have to disconnect it from usb, after that I doesn’t reconnect at all after connecting usb again.

The confusing part is that it worked perfectly fine for months, and suddenly this started working, so i imagine that it was some sort of update from Apple that damaged the functionality of the device.

How to update software in version 4? The ip address doesn't work.
(Can't update the device)

The reviews on Amazon don't look good...

Work netflix?

No SiM Card

What if my vehicle comes with wired and wireless apple carplay and android auto? Will either device work? Which device is best for latency?

Your reconnect time test is totally flawed. I have the same Jeep and the USB port retains power for 30 minutes after you shut off the vehicle. The Carlinkit never shut off in your test, therefore it appeared to reconnect immediately.

Phone battery drains fast while using this device? Can anyone confirm ? Please 😊

How much does the 5.0 cost?

Does this enable a car with Carplay, but no Android Auto, to run Android Auto through this device?

Do you leave the carlinkit device always connected in the car? If so, does it drain the battery?

Also, does carlinkit enable connecting to multiple iphone or android devices?

Hi. If I install it in my car, can I still use the reverse camera of my car? Because it shows on the screen when I reverse...

Does it also work with a phone which has Android 9 and 4G Wifi?

Hi, nice video. The second USB prt is useful to recharge the iPhone? Thank you.

Why not just get one dedicated for each type?

That's a weirdo way of cutting the plastic - plus more work and destruction of the box.

Can we mirroring our mobile

Hello I have a Peugeot 308 without car play and android auto this think can make my screen to work car play or need from car to have already the car play with cable

Hi, thanks for the compression

Is there any advantage for 5 over 4 regarding the stability of the connection? the video already shows that the 5 have a slower booting connection (about as double)
is that only for the first boot? or on a daily base? also do i need to choose the Carlink 5 on the Bluetooth list every time i enter the car? as you said at the video or i missed understood it.
i have the 3 mini and i sent it back it was terrible after 5 min of use it was unusable due to major delays.

Thanks.

which one would you say is faster i dnt recall you saying

Does this work on toyota rav 4 2017

Carplay 5.0 compatible Android 10????

Your code doesn’t work

If my car doesn’t have car play, it’s this carlinkit make car play work?? Thanks 🙌🏻

Is this compatible with after market Sony head units

Thanks for the video. If you use only Apple CarPlay and iPhones is there any reason to upgrade from version 4 to version 5? Only got my version 4 two weeks ago.

Has the Carlinkit 5.0 builtin microphone? Does it work with android headunits?

Is this compatible with factory fitted headunit or only compatible with aftermarket Android head unit?

Heads up, someone reposted your video under the channel name “Carlinkit Carplay”. I could be confused but I felt like I should try to notify you.

You still need to keep the mobile device in the same position so might as well leave it hard wired..

I recently bought carlink kit 5.0 I must say its so quick in getting connected ❤❤❤❤❤

Is this compatible with my 2012 Hyundai Sonata factory radio head unit stereo? Please let me know :)

Does this device cause phones battery to drain fast?

Is there a dongle device I can use in my headunit that is not android auto. Our head unit is touch screen.

How does this device work if your cars monitor is not touchscreen??

Does your car need to have CarPlay to use the car link ?

Both Can connect to rav4 2020 and on iphone 14 pro max?? Much thank you

That delay on the 4.0 and 5.0 is insane. I have the 3.0 Mini on my Toyota and it runs butter smooth.

Just got the 4.0 for my 22 accord, every time i use Waze or Maps the image blurs out, as if i had bad internet connection, which is not the case my phone usually works fast on those areas, any idea what’s wrong???

For those complaining about connection issues with older models...check from time to time for firmware upgrades. I still use the 2.0 and the experience after upgrades it's improving dramatically.

i love the 5.0 in my my Maxima but wish it had higher music quality like tidal or using a dragonfly

I originally bought the 2nd version, then the 3rd and now have the 4th. I often get times where the phone refuses to connect all for many days at a time. After fiddling, it will connect good enough for another week or two, then it goes into the mode again where it won't connect at all for a long time. Not sure if I blame Apple or Carlinkit, but it's very frustrating. Hopefully 5.0 improves this issue.
