If you have Apple CarPlay, then you probably use it every time you go for a drive. CarPlay has been available since 2014, and some car owners use it so much that they forget what the standard car’s infotainment system looks like. Most CarPlay connections are wired with a lightning cable, while some newer vehicles can link wirelessly. If you don’t have wireless CarPlay, you can add it by getting an aftermarket wireless CarPlay adapter. They connect to one of your car’s USB ports and can pair with your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. Then you can access CarPlay without the need to hook up your phone and have wires in the way. Here are the best wireless CarPlay adapters that are currently for sale online.
