desertcart.com: OTTOCAST U2-AIR Wireless CarPlay Adapter for Apple iPhone, Convert Wired to Wireless Plug & Play Dongle 5Ghz WiFi Auto Connect Online Update for iPhone & OEM Wired CarPlay Cars : Electronics

Review: Great Product + Excellent Tech Support - I bought the OttoCast U2-Air for my 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 which has wired Apple CarPlay. After using CarPlay I thought it would be much more useful if I didn't have to plug in my iPhone 13 everytime I got into the car. I had heard about wireless adaptors for CarPlay and thought that the U2-Air would be perfect for me - and the price was very attractive. I received it in just 2 days through desertcart and it worked almost perfectly. It was very easy to set up and I liked that it automatically connected to my iPhone every time I got into the car. However, on a long trip where I was using the Hyundai navigation system to find EV charging stations along my route I discovered a flaw: the steering wheel button that enables voice commands no longer worked for the car's built-in navigation system - instead, when pushing the button, it brought up Siri on my iPhone. The owner's manual for the Hyundai said that a "short press" would initiate the car voice command system and a "long press" would initiate Siri, but it didn't work that way when using the U2-Air. I contacted Ottocast tech support by email and they responded in less than 24 hours with the suggestion to upgrade the U2-Air firmware with very clear and specific instructions on how to do so. With their help (thanks Julie!) I was able to upgrade the firmware which fixed the problem. I'm really quite impressed with the product itself as well as the integrity of the tech support organization. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a car with wired Apple CarPlay and would like to convert it to wireless Apple CarPlay.

### ⭐ NOT 5th Gen RAM 1500 friendly.
*by C***2 on February 13, 2023*

This is actually the 2nd one of these I have ordered and tried. I have a 2019 RAM 1500 5th Gen Bighorn. These trucks have 2 USB A and 2 USB C plugs, but there has to be a fuse adjusted in the fuse box under that dash, that requires the dash piece to be removed, under the steering column... or, the USB ports stay powered in the RAM, connected to the device and your phone will not switch to your homes WiFi unless you manually disconnect the Carplay device. After I sent the first one back, I found a forum post about moving that fuse, so the power shut off after 1 hour. So, when you get home, the truck has to be off and left alone for 1 hour before it'll disconnect and hop onto your home WiFi. Is it a small inconvenience, yes. Would it be more convenient to just get in the truck and have Carplay without messing with cables, YES. So I ordered this one to try again. I want you to keep in mind, I have had this for 3 weeks now, but the truck I use it in, is not driven much. I have a company vehicle, so my RAM, only gets driven on weekends and maybe a couple trips to the store during the week. With that said, it's now dead. There haven't been any iPhone updates or updates to RAM Uconnect. I got in yesterday and got the screen I added a photo for. I restarted my phone, had to hunt for the Bluetooth connection and then it's WiFi connection and manually force a connection. Tech support is simply logging into the device via it's IP address and checking for updates and it was up to date once I got it forced into connecting. Today, same thing, this same screen. If you force it to connect, it will work fine. If you don't, it won't connect on it's own. I tried different cables and tried all 4 USB plugs to make sure it wasn't an equipment issue on my end, it isn't. I think we would all like wireless Carplay and Android Auto. But I don't think the technology is there yet. Plugging in, just takes a couple seconds. A cord might not be convenient, but it's reliable and only costs $10 to replace if it goes bad later. I'm returning this one and calling the wireless Carplay idea, done and over until I buy a different truck or the devices get reliable.
