30€ AND YOU HAVE APPLE CARPLAY WIRELESS ON YOUR CAR with the LINKIFUN adapter

We have seen on the channel some wireless screens with integrated Android Auto and Carplay infotainment systems, which allow you to transform an old car into a more modern one in terms of connectivity, but many of you already own a modern car, with a good integrated multimedia system and maybe the only functionality you are looking for is to use your smartphone without a cable, especially if you own an iPhone.

The solution in these cases, economical and space-saving, comes from some gadgets that resemble a USB stick, better defined as a 2-in-1 adapter, obtaining the wireless function for both Android Auto and CarPlay. Today we see one, also sold on Amazon at a price of around 30 euros. We are talking about the Linkifun RGB Mini Wireless adapter.

Compatible with the vast majority of cars on the road (, here the complete compatibility list), the adapter is shaped like a USB stick and connects to the appropriate socket in your car. It all works through a very simple system: once connected, you just need to pair it via Bluetooth with your Android smartphone or iPhone and, within a few seconds, the infotainment system will start Android Auto or CarPlay depending on the device you own.

Inside the package proposed by Linkifun, we find two extensions for full compatibility with both USB-A and USB-C ports and it adapts perfectly to any situation. On the front of the gadget we then find a series of RGB LEDs that create a sort of ambient lighting, which we can eventually keep off if they were to disturb us. Once the association is made for the first time you will not have to do anything else: from that moment, every time you get into the car and start the engine, both Android Auto and CarPlay will start completely automatically, offering functions such as navigation, voice calls and music streaming directly on the display of your car, also being able to control some functions with just your voice, using the integrated Google assistant or Siri. In addition, any steering wheel controls already present on the car are supported.

Linkfun's device features a unique horizontal USB port design that maximizes space efficiency while maintaining a clean and organized dashboard. The scientifically designed layout ensures efficient heat management, with excellent heat dissipation and a petal pattern that guides airflow. I would like to point out that during use, I never noticed any delay in streaming media playback and most importantly no delay in handling calls, which is the case with other adapters of similar cost.

Among the settings you will find the item relating to the LEDs but also other possibilities, such as reporting a malfunction and updating the firmware.

Nerd, Geek, Netizen, terms that do not belong to me. Simply myself, technology lover and provocative as Xiaomi does with his products. High quality at fair prices, a real provocation for the other most famous brands.
