eezergood Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Has anyone used or is using a car paly adapter dongle ? I would rather this than retro fitting the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KannikaP Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My 11 year old Toyota Vigo has a radio with BLUETOOTH built in, as I suspect, almost all private cars will have such a facility. Also, almost ALL phones have it built in. Consequently there is NO NEED for any sort of Dongle, and NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER for using a phone held in the hand.

poppysdad Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I would also like to have apple CarPlay on my Toyota chr media system rather than the Toyota system. I know the Toyota Cross now has it and kannikap Bluetooth connected with my iPhone doesn’t give me it so would also be interested if a dongle might work. But please SHOUT out if you know how. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO excuse for attempting to chastise for something you have completely not understood! Put the soap box down & back to your cocoa! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about a dongle to use for Apple car play - if you dont know, its ok to say nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio 2 or Classic FM is clearer on my car radio than Thai FM radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wifes car has a tv in the roof for our son - car play would mirror his device My wifes car has rubbish sat nav - car play would mirror google maps to the car Does my justification now merit a response other than you dont need it.........which you are not able to offer as you see this as little more than folly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klonko Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I have a dongle for wireless CarPlay, but I have to restart the dongle (un-/plugging) too many times for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to un-/plug the wireless dongle because the CarPlay does sometimes not start on the Ora GoodCat's display (stuck with the initialisation screen). I have the same experience with my Honda Goldwing, but it is more cumbersome to un-/plug the dongle in the trunk while driving. I have not been able to replicate the fail scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
