Carlinkit Mini 5 Pro: A Compact Adapter for Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto

Carlinkit Mini 5 Pro is a compact adapter for using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly. It communicates with your phone at 5.8 GHz, supports USB-A and USB-C connections, and offers over-the-air (OTA) software updates.

A smaller adapter, fewer cables

The adapter takes up little space in the car and is easy to store or move to another compatible vehicle. It lets you use CarPlay or Android Auto without keeping your phone connected to the car’s system by a cable.

The adapter supports USB-A and USB-C, so it can be used with different types of USB connection in vehicles. Before buying, check the connector in your car and how the adapter connects to it.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without a phone cable

Carlinkit Mini 5 Pro supports both Apple CarPlay for iPhone and Android Auto for Android phones. Once connected, it lets you use supported apps, navigation and music through the car’s system without a wired connection to your phone.

Support for both platforms does not mean the adapter is compatible with every car and phone. Before buying, check that your vehicle supports the relevant platform, that your phone is compatible and that you meet the software version requirements.

Connection and updates

Connect the adapter to a compatible USB port in your vehicle and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to pair your phone. Unlike the connection between your phone and the car, the adapter itself remains connected by USB.

The adapter uses the 5.8 GHz frequency for wireless communication. It also supports OTA updates, meaning software can be updated wirelessly. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for update availability and installation steps.
