Quad Lock Wireless Adaptor for Apple CarPlay

I installed this on my Porsche Boxster with the PCCM Plus entertainment system seven weeks ago as of this writing. Has consistently connected without issue. The sound is crisp and clear and there is very little lag when making music selections. CarPlay works flawlessly including navigation and hands free calling. I have it tucked away in my glove box. It has brought my car completely current as far as technology is concerned. Please note this unit is only compatible with iPhones and wired CarPlay head units.

Works good if you get it to connect …. Most of the time I have to unplug it several times times to get it to reboot fully then it might connect I might as well just use the wire at this point

So far so good. I have owned several of these in the past and they tend to fail in a few months. After reviewing many of these types of devices I found that most are Chinese made devices sold under many different manufacturer names at many different price points from $19 - $50 and the connection can be somewhat inconsistent. This product is an Australian product and is a bit better engineered and per my research has better heat dissipation so hopefully this will be more durable than smaller cheaper devices. The design on this is a bit bigger than others I’ve used but the connection and set up was very simple. Totally plug and play, just connect to your Bluetooth. This product has no battery and pulls power from your cars USB or type c CarPlay port. This product is on the higher side as compared to other similar type items. So far I have no complaints as it automatically connects without issue. The sound quality almost seems to a bit off as when connected via a cable. I tweaked my EQ and didn’t notice it any longer. If this lasts 6 months or more Ill be happy.

I bought two other brands, they kept dropping out and being problematic. This one works great. Once in a while it won’t boot up, so I just unplug it and plug it back in, problem solved

This is my third wireless device for Apple CarPlay that I’ve tried. All of the instructions are easy to read and understand. The software in the device is in English and easy to understand. It was literally plug-and play. I just plugged it right into my CarPlay connection in my car connected to it with Bluetooth and my phone automatically connected. Having had some negative experiences in the past I did log in to check the firmware, and it was up-to-date. I haven’t used it much, but I will come back and update this. If I find that it drops signal as the other devices I’ve used have done.

Unfortunately it is not very stable. Sometimes loses connection between the iPhone and quadlock. I installed the latest firmware but didn’t get better. But in general it is ok.

Does the small box work... Short answer, yes*. * = only if you want music and GPS 90% of the time. This device will stop working in the middle of a drive. This device will also cause your music to play at a lower volume than normal, thus causing the end user to crank the stereo volume up. Yes, the device is tiny and easy to hide. BUT this device isn't reliable. I would not purchase this item. Not your typical quadlock quality..

Just got this in the mail today- plugged it in and had it all working in less than a minute. The boot up cycle is only slightly slower than when I plug the phone in to use CarPlay with the cord, but it’s gonna be soooo much more convenient than fumbling with a cord all the time. As an added bonus, the black box is smaller than I expected. Nice. I DID order a different cord for this, that has a 90 degree angle at the big end so that I don’t have the cord sticking out near my gear selector, but that’s a minor thing, only like $8 or so. Definitely would recommend this item.
