Does anyone have any positive experience for a wireless carplay adapter that works for an Artura or 750S?

Cable works amazing but would be nice to have the options of plugging in an adapter.

Thanks

Many existing threads on here, but this is the one I (and some others) use: https://carlinkitcarplay.com/products/carlinkit-tb...

Works flawlessly for me. I run it with a SIM and memory stick so it's completely independent of my phone, but it also does wireless Carplay and Android Auto very well.

I don't own a McLaren BUT I have always been unsure on these as tried a few and been pants.

Recently bought this and works perfect. Connects once in the car and can watch you tube etc if needed.

I ordered 4 from Amazon for my Artura and only one worked. Frustratingly, the only one that is no longer listed is that one. Let me get it from the car and see if I can find it on a different listing.....

I tried a 'simpler' Carlinkit one and it didn't work, but good to know this one does. I only wanted Carplay.

Im a bit slow when it comes to Tech stuff - but can someone explain what the point of this box is ?

I have recently bought the KKS Supercar CarPlay for my 720.

I thought the Artura was the only McLaren that came with CarPlay fitted as standard - what am I missing ?

Artura and 750S have wired-only Carplay. The box I linked does three entirely different things:

1. Allows you to connect your iPhone wirelessly and use Carplay.
2. Allows you to connect your Android phone wirelessly and use Android Auto
3. Function autonomously as an Android Auto device provided you install a working SIM

I use approach 3 with my 750. I have tested approach 2 and it works well. I can't speak to approach 1 directly as I'm not a fruit cultist, but others have testified that it works.

Ok, so basically allows you to have bluetooth connection to the cars headset ?

I have both wired and BT functionality with the KKS set up, whilst I have hardly used the car since recent purchase I find in general a decent few hours using Waze will significantly drain the phone so prefer wired set up as in my daily anyway.

I had an older carlinkit on a car, doesn’t work with the latest iPhones as they are too fast for it and it freezes. Just something to be aware of. Worked fine with previous iPhones.

Had the same one as 964Cup for 6 months and it's still working perfectly.
I put a sim card in it so the car had its own phone, tried Giff Gaff first which was pretty poor then went with 3 which has been great.

I'm non-techy and did need 964's help in setting it up but it's been trouble free since.
