Ottocast Wireless CarPlay Adapter Enhances Car Infotainment

Take control of your vehicle’s infotainment system and go beyond simple stock Apple CarPlay with products from Ottocast, which add wireless CarPlay and new features like HDMI input.

Ottocast is a company that specializes in enhancing vehicle infotainment systems. All three accessories featured here bring new functionality to your factory CarPlay unit, while enabling wireless CarPlay.

There’s the CarPlayClip, Car TV Mate Pro, and Play2Video Pro. Whichever model you choose, you’ll find they are compatible with most CarPlay-enabled cars on the market.

CarPlay on its own is a great way to reduce distractions and bring your iPhone apps to the large infotainment screen. However, requiring a cable connection tethers your device in a way that makes it otherwise inaccessible to others in the car.

Free your iPhone and improve your infotainment system with one of these Ottocast products.

CarPlayClip Wireless CarPlay Adapter

The CarPlayClip Wireless CarPlay Adapter looks like a standard vent clip, but it has a display that can show a photo, the clock, or even the current now-playing album art. Behind the display is a 360-degree vent clip diffuser.

CarPlayClip adds a useful display to your car in addition to wireless CarPlay

Simply connect the CarPlayClip to the car’s USB port and personalize how the display will be used with the OttoPilot app. It clips to your car vents and works in most cars built after 2016 with wired CarPlay, minus BMW.

After setting up the CarPlayClip Wireless CarPlay Adapter, press the button to switch what is shown on the 1.6-inch display. Music artwork can be displayed with a small record player aesthetic, the analog clock takes over the display, and the photo frame shows any image uploaded to the device.

The CarPlayClip Wireless CarPlay Adapter is normally $139.99, but it’s on sale now for $89 on the Ottocast website. Use promo code Apple15 to get an additional 15% off any purchase over $50, bringing the CarPlayClip down to $75.65.

Car TV Mate Pro

The Car TV Mate Pro is an HDMI box for your infotainment system and wireless CarPlay adapter. Connect the box to your vehicle’s USB port, plug in an HDMI device, and use the built-in display as a tiny TV.

Devices like Fire Sticks require a separate power supply, so you’ll need to provide power via a separate car charger, outlet, or USB port. The same goes for other powered devices like game consoles.

Laptops, iPhones, and other battery-operated electronics will be able to plug directly to the HDMI port without additional power. In any case, the iPhone will automatically connect to the Car TV Mate Pro wirelessly for CarPlay.

Play2Video Pro Wireless CarPlay Adapter

The Play2Video Pro Wireless CarPlay Adapter not only converts your infotainment system to wireless CarPlay, it includes five built-in apps. The apps work independently of CarPlay in an Android system layer, but users can’t download additional apps.

The built-in apps are Netflix, YouTube, IPTV, Spotify, and YouTube Music. Connect the device to Wi-Fi and stream content to the vehicle’s built-in display.

Of course, it is also a wireless CarPlay adapter, so your iPhone will automatically connect when entering the vehicle. Just switch from the Android system to CarPlay to use your iPhone’s features on the dash hands-free.
