In the video we tested few Wireless Apple CarPlay adapters by comparing them in terms of loading time, speed test and sound delays. You may ask “Why should that matter?” The answer is simple, the ideal Wireless Apple CarPlay needs to be fast and responsive. In other words, it should not take forever to load up once you start the car. And once that’s done it shouldn’t have a huge delay in switching between apps. Of course is not going to be as fast as a wired phone that is connected, we have to keep in mid that this is a wireless connection and it’s normal to have a slight delay.

For our tests we used a 2021 Kia Soul that came standard with Apple CarPlay (USB only) and Android Auto (USB only).

The winner for fastest loading time is AutoSky and the best for responsiveness.

All of these dongles seemed to have the same pattern when it came to browsing the maps, none of them were fluid compared to the vanilla connection, the iPhone. Same pattern when skipping the songs, they all tend to have a slight delay.

well there is no clear winner here, you either compromise the speed or the waiting time. Now timings might vary from vehicle to vehicle, some cars, like this KIA reconizes the adapters in no time but the adapters internals are responsible for the loading time.

I personally thought the CarLinkIt 4.0 will take the lead since that is the most popular choice.
