Honest answer: not every car. CarSync needs a car stereo with an Android system, version 4.4 or newer, like most aftermarket touchscreen stereos. It does not work with the original factory stereo without Android, or with Pioneer, Alpine or Kenwood units. The 10 second check is higher up on this page.

Totally changed my daily drives, wireless phone mirroring made navigation stress-free, music finally plays without fumbling cables, and hands-free calls actually work. Feels like a modern car upgrade without the dealer price, and I use it every commute.

CarSync™ is being saved and shared thousands of times right now. Our current shipment is selling out faster than planned. If your version is selectable above, it is still in stock.
A new head unit? $250 to $600. For a screen you already have.
A CarPlay head unit costs $150 to $400. Add shop installation: another $100 to $300, plus the appointment and the wait.
And as long as nothing changes, you keep tapping away on your phone. In most states that ticket runs $100 to $250, plus points on your license.
Meanwhile the fix has been sitting in your USB port all along.

Does CarSync fit my car? The 10 second check:
Does your car stereo show an Android menu with apps (typical for aftermarket touchscreen stereos)? Then CarSync fits. Still running the original factory stereo without Android, or a Pioneer, Alpine or Kenwood unit? Then CarSync is sadly not for you. An honest answer before you buy, instead of frustration after.

The critical reviews, answered honestly
We read the 1 to 3 star reviews of this product class. Here are the four most common complaints and the honest answers.
“It does not always connect”
The first pairing takes 10 to 15 seconds, after that CarSync connects automatically. If a phone acts up, a free update through the built in menu usually settles it.
“It does not fit every car”
True. CarSync needs an Android car stereo running Android 4.4 or newer. We say that clearly before you buy, not in the fine print, and you have a 30 day guarantee.
“Wireless has a slight delay”
A tiny latency is normal for any wireless link. You will not notice it navigating, listening to music or taking calls. If you want zero lag, pick the wired version above.
“It stopped after an iPhone update”
That is what the free updates are for: installed wirelessly in minutes. They keep CarSync current with new iOS and Android versions.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee on CarSync Wireless Adapter
Try CarSync risk-free for 30 days. If wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto doesn't simplify your drive or improve navigation and hands-free calls, return it for a full refund. We stand by quality and aim to keep you safe, connected, and satisfied behind the wheel.

If you have an Android stereo and want to add CarPlay or Android Auto, this is your solution! Fast and stable connection; you only need to download an app to your stereo, and that's it! Everything works perfectly!
Anthony G.
I plugged it in, installed the software, and it finally started working. It took a second for the app to recognize my phone and the dongle, but then it starts charging in about 20 seconds once you plug it in. Also, this isn't Bluetooth, so you have to plug it in every time.
Steven J.
It was amazing and easy to use. You first have to download the app to your Android device, which was undoubtedly the most difficult part. After that, it was simply plug and play.

I bought this adapter and it worked almost perfectly on a 2019 Kia Picanto/Morning. The original radio is a Tablet AC8227 running Android 6.0.1. Installation was no problem; I simply downloaded the application and installed it on the radio, then connected the adapter and the phone. The only minor issue is that the audio balance/fader doesn't work while using Android Auto (all four speakers play at the same volume).

I simply plugged in the CarSync dongle and connected it to my iPhone. Voila! CarPlay launched and worked! So smooth, and I'm not sure why, but my audio quality improved and became more balanced. It's nice to have Google Maps. So far, so good. I hope the dongle lasts. Much cheaper than buying an aftermarket CarPlay head unit, which has fewer features.
