How to Check If Your Car is Compatible

The primary requirement for most Carlinkit adapters is that your vehicle must have factory-wired CarPlay or Android Auto.

  • ✔ If your car has wired CarPlay → Most Carlinkit adapters will work
  • ✔ If your car has wired Android Auto → Select models like Carlinkit 5.0, Mini 5C Pro, and A2A will work
  • ❌ If your car does NOT have CarPlay or Android Auto → Consider using an aftermarket Android dongle (CCPA)

How to Verify Compatibility

  1. Check your car’s infotainment system settings for CarPlay/Android Auto.
  2. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for details on compatibility.
  3. Test with a wired connection – if wired CarPlay/Android Auto works, so will our adapters.
  4. Contact our support team with your car model, year, and phone type for assistance.
