I didn’t expect it to work, but it was worth the cost to experiment.
I used a CarLink 2.0 adapter for my 2017 Honda Civic. My first order for a Wireless CarPlay adapter was canceled by the vendor last year due to concerns with compatibility. My pal Jake Pugh had a positive experience with an adapter he tried in his 2016 Chevy Volt, however, so I recently took another shot at trying one myself. Wireless USB Adapters D-Link DWA-182 Wireless AC1300 Dual Band USB 3.0 USB Adapter Etake USB To PS2 Converter Cable Connect for Keyboard Mouse USB Connector. Compatibility with specific car makes and models is the tricky part though. There are a handful of adapters that claim to turn CarPlay into Wireless CarPlay for around $100. Now there’s a solution for turning standard CarPlay into Wireless CarPlay, at least for some models, and it actually works! I really wanted Wireless CarPlay, but replacing my entertainment system was too disruptive.
My Civic came with Apple CarPlay, but the HR-V had a basic entertainment system so I upgraded its system with an Alpine unit with Wireless CarPlay. A few years ago I purchased two new Hondas.
