Wireless CarPlay & Wireless Android Auto & AirPlay
Ottocast, which is popular in Japan, has released a new 3 in 1 adapter, the OttoAdapter MX. By changing the wired connection to wireless, you can connect your smartphone to CarPlay/Android Auto using only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. You can also mirror your iPhone to the car navigation system using AirPlay (only supports YouTube and Apple TV). Compared to commercially available products, MX has almost no delay, making your car life more comfortable than ever. *Some apps are not designed to be mirrored due to the manufacturer's intentions.
How to connect wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
Step 1, insert the included cable into the car's USB port for communication and insert the USB-C side into the main unit. Step 2 (for iPhones), Turn on the iPhone's "Wi-Fi" and "Bluetooth" and pair it with the Bluetooth name "AdapterMX-xxxx". When "Do you want to use CarPlay?" is displayed on the iPhone, touch "Use CarPlay" to connect to wireless CarPlay. Step 2 (Android): Check that the latest Android Auto app is installed on your smartphone and pair it with the Bluetooth name "AdapterMX-xxxx". Wait a few seconds and the pairing will be complete and you will be connected to wireless Android Auto.

Easy setup just by connecting the USB cable
There is no need to remove the vehicle panel and plug the power into the fuse box, which is a hassle. Just plug the vehicle's communication USB port into the adapter's USB port (Type-C) and you're ready to go. Then just pair it with your smartphone via Bluetooth to enjoy wireless carplay/Android Auto. After the initial setup, it will automatically connect after the engine starts, so you don't have to worry about plugging and unplugging the cable.
