CarPlay AI Box - "Android headunit" dongle?

[ulrichuela]

Hi all!

I looked on the forums here and couldn't find anything about it... have you seen this CarPlay AI Box thing?

Seems like similar hardware as the Android headunits but on a dongle and then you connect it through USB and it streams via CarPlay. I think it's interesting for folks like me with a traditional headunit with Android Auto/CarPlay to have full access to Android.

Does anyone knows about it? I guess we could have the same options as the headunits such as custom firmwares or maybe figuring out what software does that CarPlay integration and use it from an Android phone - getting full Android access...

Thanks!

Haven't used the AI box, but i have their carlinkit 4.0, a wireless carplay adapter. And it works great.
The $189 price appealed to me. If you get this ai box, pls share your experience with us! Thank you!

Have not tried it yet, as my Bronco is on the way to the dealership now, but looks to be about the same. I did get it on sale, as they run promotion codes all the time.

Yes, they are same products, but $389 is too expensive to me
