CARLINKIT TBOX LITE S Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter

The CARLINKIT TBOX LITE S Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Adapter upgrades a vehicle's factory wired infotainment system to support wireless phone projection. It is a plug-and-play device that handles both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. A quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running Android 9.0 manages the processing load, and the system can access the Google Play Store for additional apps. Compatibility covers iPhone 6 and newer models running iOS 10.0, while Android Auto requires phones running Android 11.0 or higher.

The adapter has an ABS and PC plastic housing and weighs 33 g. Measuring 77 × 49.5 × 12.8 mm, the compact unit fits into most centre consoles. A mini HDMI port allows it to send video to a compatible rear display. Power is drawn from the vehicle's USB port, so there is no rechargeable battery, and the device activates with the ignition. This setup suits drivers who want wireless connectivity without replacing their existing head unit.

• Bluetooth 5.4 – establishes the initial wireless link between the phone and the adapter.
• Dual Wi-Fi architecture – separates active phone projection traffic from local internet connections.
• Google Mobile Services (GMS) – integrates standard Google applications into the system.
• Type-C USB interface – provides a reversible connector for both power and data transfer.
• 5 V input voltage – matches the standard electrical output of automotive data ports.
