Designed to enhance in-car entertainment with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, the Carlinkit UHD is a powerful adapter that offers high-definition video output. Its Qualcomm 8-core processor and Android 13.0 operating system ensure superior performance, making it easy to navigate apps and enjoy a variety of media content. The Carlinkit UHD also features a HDMI interface that enables you to connect your smartphone to HD displays, allowing passengers to watch videos or play games during long trips.
Aside from its solid feature set, the Carlinkit UHD comes with a convenient setup and dual connection options. It is compatible with most car models that support wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, enabling you to easily mirror your phone’s screen to your car’s infotainment display. The device is also equipped with a mini-HDMI to full-size HDMI adapter, allowing you to connect it to other screens, such as headrest displays or computer monitors.
Carlinkit: Revolutionizing Wireless Car Connectivity
The Carlinkit UHD is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, ensuring fast boot times and excellent performance. However, its lack of an Adreno 512 GPU and outdated chipset limit video performance, making it not as sharp and responsive as some other CarPlay AI boxes with the same price tag.
The Carlinkit UHD’s software is based on stock Android 13.0 and features a functional, if ugly, launcher that receives OTA updates regularly. It also supports a wide range of popular apps and media formats. However, the device has a tendency to fight with your phone’s Bluetooth connection and can produce clipped-sounding audio during music streaming and voice calls.
