Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto adapter Carlinkit AIR X2 — wireless connection for vehicle infotainment

Carlinkit AIR X2 CarPlay/Android Auto wireless adapter enables a wireless connection between compatible smartphones and the vehicle infotainment system. The adapter replaces a wired USB connection and provides wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality for navigation, media, calls and voice control while preserving the original head unit features.

Advantages

Carlinkit AIR X2 uses dual-band Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz + 5.8 GHz) and an efficient AM3352BZCZD80 chip to provide a stable, low-latency connection with reduced interference and low power consumption. The device is built from ABS and PC, has compact dimensions and supports online firmware updates, allowing you to extend functionality and maintain compatibility with new phone software.
