OTTOCAST Mini Edge, 2 in 1 Wireless Carplay Adapter & Wireless Android Auto Adapter for Apple iPhone Samsung or other AndroidPhone, USB Bluetooth Car Accessories for OEM Wired Carplay/Android Auto Car

This tiny device that is shaped like a thumb drive (and looks like one, too) turns a car that is configured and equipped for wired Apple Car Play or wired Android Auto into wireless Apple Car Play or Android Auto. There is little or no set up. Turn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on in your phone, plug the device into the same port you use for a wired connection, pair your phone with the Ottocast via Bluetooth, and <boom> you are good to go. As you can imagine the instructions are sparse, so if you run into a glitch, you are probably going to have to figure it out for yourself. I did have a glitch. I went through the process of mating the phone and the Ottocast several times, so that I was connected wirelessly through Android Auto, but when I started the car back up, the connection would be gone. My car also has a Wi-Fi node that can be connected to for internet service, but it must be used exclusive of Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone was set up to automatically re-connect to that Wi-Fi connection, so when the car was re-started, the phone was connecting to the Toyota Wi-Fi rather than my phone's Wi-Fi. I disabled the auto connection to the phone's Wi-Fi, and when I started back up, the phone was automatically connected to Android Auto. Although Bluetooth is used for the initial pairing and set up, the connections there after are done via Wi-Fi. So far, so good. What a convenience to get rid of the wire!

Half the price of other defective brands and works great and very fast connection. Plug pair and play.

This thing worked great...For a month and a half...Conveniently just beyond the available return period. I was really excited to have this wireless connectivity and it was very easy to set up and worked great at first. However, just yesterday my phone would connect to the unit...But it would not launch Android Auto on my 2020 Honda CRV. Then, my phone would lose connection with the unit...Then reconnect...Then lose connection again...And reconnect again...And again...I think you get the idea. Then, when I tried to connect my phone using the wire/cord...It would not even open up Android Auto using the old reliable wired method. Long story short...After some Google searching, I found out how to reset my Infotainment System...And once I did that...I was able to use Android Auto using the wired method. I tried several times again to get the wireless unit to connect...But to no avail. Unfortunately wasted $60.00 on a unit that only last a little more than a month...All I can say is...Caveat Emptor...Let the Buyer Beware.

Love that I don't have to plug in my phone anymore. Android auto comes right up. Only thing sometimes have to unplug itans plug it back in for my car to connect. But for the most part it works great.

Works on 2024 Ford Bronco 100% - I tried 3 others before OTTOCAST and ALL the others failed. I was finally successful with this purchase. Easy set-up and automatically connects when I get in. All controls on steering wheel work. Fast music and phone connectivity. GPS/Google maps doesn't lag. GREAT PURCHASE!

Bought this on a Whim after seeing it on Facebook advertising, which I never do. Anyway it works perfectly with my 2017 Chevy Cruze. Setup was quick and easy even though the instructions were really small on the enclosed paperwork. Absolutely would recommend to anyone with Apple Play with a hard wire connection and a USB port

Edit (Dec 2025): Unit now overheats on longer drives. On a 5 hour trip I had to unplug it about every hour to cure audio glitching. It takes it approximately 30 min to cool each time. The right angle connector now has a short in it that causes every minor bump to disconnect it for a moment and I have to wait for everything else to reconnect. It’s not even 6 months old yet, buyer beware. Lowered one star for utter lack of longevity. Original Review: I’m not sure of the durability over the long haul. Just as my return window closed, it froze up and it took me several hours to get it to work again. While that’s the only glitch, a different (cheaper) brand I was using did the same thing right before dying completely. That said, when it works it’s good, the 90° connector and low profile size is appreciated due to the location of the port on my Voyager minivan.

Is good to have your phone connected but is taking to long to connect and you can’t use your phone to make calls before is connected
