Reports indicate the adapter launched in Germany and was briefly out of stock before being restocked on Amazon.de and other sellers. If you want to enable wireless CarPlay without replacing your head unit, this is one of the smallest plug-in options available.
Short notes
Based on product specs and early reports, the adapter promises quick pairing and stable streaming thanks to its updated chipset and Wi‑Fi connection. We will publish a hands-on review with performance details and real-world testing shortly.
