OTTOCAST Mini Edge, 2 in 1 Wireless Carplay Adapter & Wireless Android Auto Adapter for Apple iPhone Samsung or other AndroidPhone, USB Bluetooth Car Accessories for OEM Wired Carplay/Android Auto Car

This tiny device that is shaped like a thumb drive (and looks like one, too) turns a car that is configured and equipped for wired Apple Car Play or wired Android Auto into wireless Apple Car Play or Android Auto. There is little or no set up. Turn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on in your phone, plug the device into the same port you use for a wired connection, pair your phone with the Ottocast via Bluetooth, and <boom> you are good to go. As you can imagine the instructions are sparse, so if you run into a glitch, you are probably going to have to figure it out for yourself. I did have a glitch. I went through the process of mating the phone and the Ottocast several times, so that I was connected wirelessly through Android Auto, but when I started the car back up, the connection would be gone. My car also has a Wi-Fi node that can be connected to for internet service, but it must be used exclusive of Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone was set up to automatically re-connect to that Wi-Fi connection, so when the car was re-started, the phone was connecting to the Toyota Wi-Fi rather than my phone's Wi-Fi. I disabled the auto connection to the phone's Wi-Fi, and when I started back up, the phone was automatically connected to Android Auto. Although Bluetooth is used for the initial pairing and set up, the connections there after are done via Wi-Fi. So far, so good. What a convenience to get rid of the wire!

Works on 2024 Ford Bronco 100% - I tried 3 others before OTTOCAST and ALL the others failed. I was finally successful with this purchase. Easy set-up and automatically connects when I get in. All controls on steering wheel work. Fast music and phone connectivity. GPS/Google maps doesn't lag. GREAT PURCHASE!

The Ottocast Mini 2 initially delivers on its promise: plug it in once, and Wireless CarPlay launches automatically every time the car starts. Its compact, well-built design fits discreetly into the USB port, and setup took less than 10 seconds. During the first week, the connection was fast and stable—navigation apps like Apple Maps and Waze loaded without delay, and both music streaming and call quality were excellent. However, by the second week, the device began to overheat excessively—reaching dangerously high temperatures that could cause burns upon contact. Shortly after, it stopped working entirely and was no longer recognized by my Chevrolet OnStar factory radio system and my iphone.

Edit 2 (March 2026): Overheating was NOT the fault of this unit and I’m restoring my rating. It was a USB port starting to fail on my Chrysler Voyager. I replaced that, and the overheating resolved. Edit (Dec 2025): Unit now overheats on longer drives. On a 5 hour trip I had to unplug it about every hour to cure audio glitching. It takes it approximately 30 min to cool each time. The right angle connector now has a short in it that causes every minor bump to disconnect it for a moment and I have to wait for everything else to reconnect. It’s not even 6 months old yet, buyer beware. Lowered one star for utter lack of longevity. Original Review: I’m not sure of the durability over the long haul. Just as my return window closed, it froze up and it took me several hours to get it to work again. While that’s the only glitch, a different (cheaper) brand I was using did the same thing right before dying completely. That said, when it works it’s good, the 90° connector and low profile size is appreciated due to the location of the port on my Voyager minivan.

Bought this on a Whim after seeing it on Facebook advertising, which I never do. Anyway it works perfectly with my 2017 Chevy Cruze. Setup was quick and easy even though the instructions were really small on the enclosed paperwork. Absolutely would recommend to anyone with Apple Play with a hard wire connection and a USB port

New 2022 Escape - this didn't work well with my equipment. Finally just plugged everything in.

This is the third car play adapter I have tried. this is the first to give me drop out free operation. The manual could give some more detail when it comes to the different modes and what they do. smooth fast connection. nice and small no cable is great.

I'm about to return this. My android 22S Galaxy doesn't pick up the bluetooth name that is displayed on my car screen. I have android auto on my phone and its on in the apps. The phone doesn't see the Ottocast bluetooth for some reason. I unpaired my toyota bluetooth connection so it doesn't auto connect. I made sure Apple Car play was OFF. I kept scanning and scanning for the bluetooth and nothing. There was nothing on wifi either.

The Adapter was easy to install in my car and worked straight away.Not a complicated process.

Funktioniert sehr gut. Verbindungsabbrüche hatte ich bisher nur ganz wenige. Telefonie klappt auch verzögerungsfrei, nur wenn man ein Video auf dem Handy schaut ist der Ton nicht ganz Lippensynchron.

Très pratique pour connecter sans fil. Facile à utiliser

Funkar utmärkt med CarPlay och en Toyota RAV4. Bara plugga i och koppla upp. Sen funkar det automatiskt.

Lo utilizo en Peugeot 208 hdi del 2016 (no aparece en la lista de coches/año compatibles) tel Samsung S23ultra. Facil configurar. Enlaza con el telefono en 10 segundos como mucho. El sistema funciona con mucha fluidez y el audio sin retardos. Muy satisfecho con la compra. Lo recomiendo.
