## Description

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: Love this product! - This works great and is a really easy install. I have an aftermarket unit so the delay to start is a little longer for my car. Installed this on a newer vehicle for a relative and the delay to start is only a few seconds!
Review: Ottocast is exceeding expectations - I started off by comparing 10 different wireless CarPlay adapters. I used professional review sites and customer reviews to compare them on: 1) boot up time 2) input lag 3) connection quality/stability 4) updates (how difficult, how long manufacturer provides updates). Based on the data I collected for those points, I went with Ottocast. Here’s how it has measured up for me: 1) Boot time - People were reporting 18 seconds which sounds like an eternity to me but I am finding it to be way faster than that. I haven’t timed it but from the time I turn on the engine, buckle up, and put it in drive, CarPlay is on screen. My biggest fear was that this device wouldn’t be ready for use until I was already well down the road but it has been a non-issue. 2) Input lag - As there is with any wireless CarPlay whether that be via an adapter like this, or native to the car, or built into an aftermarket receiver/head unit, there is input lag/delay. Personally this hasn’t been a bother to me. It’s a minor delay. A little bit longer than the delay I see with plain Bluetooth music streaming, but less delay than I see when using AirPlay between devices at home. 3) Connection stability - It seems like many of these products are plagued with connection drops/disconnects. But that’s what stood out to me about Ottocast in the reviews, it had the least complains about that. And so far I haven’t had any issues. 4) Updates - Most other adapters require an update before using but this worked out of the box. They actually recommend not updating until something stops working - like after a phone update. I haven’t performed an update but it looks to be on pair with all others, and with Ottocast being one of the leading brands in this space, I’m hopeful they’ll be around to keep supporting this product with updates into the future. Some other points worth mentioning: Setup - While this wasn’t a criteria I was tracking/comparing, it is also worth noting how incredibly simple setup was. Just a couple of steps over a couple of minutes and it was ready to go. Size - this thing is incredibly small. I thought it would be much bigger. I like how compact it is - easily stays out of the way. Summary - From review comparing and my real world experience, Ottocast U2 seems like the best product from among its peers, particularly in what I think are the 2 most important aspects: boot up time and connection stability.

### ⭐ 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.
