Car TV Mate Pro- HDMI™ Multimedia & Wireless CarPlay Adapter

For the price, this is an amazing value. My car already has wireless CarPlay, so we got this in order to stream onto my car’s infotainment screen. As other reviews have mentioned, you need a separate streaming device to plug in to the OttoCast unit. We used a Roku streaming stick. Connecting and getting started was easy once I disconnected my phone’s wireless CarPlay (just disabled the Bluetooth). We used my car’s built in WiFi and it worked, but had a few buffering issues. The picture also didn’t use the entire infotainment screen, but still had a nice picture. Definitely amazing for a long car drive!!

Travel can be boring for my family. For some reason my dad jokes aren’t enough so I had to look elsewhere for cheap entertainment. Found it in the Ottocast Car TV Mate Pro.

There are some great benefits for using this product and a few points to ponder. First, this device serves as a CarPlay substitute. My 2019 Buick hasn’t updated its infotainment system to accommodate my iPhone 15, so now that works in my car, huge plus. Second, you definitely can watch your favorite programming on your car screen as long as you have a source other than your phone.

Points to think about. You will need a streaming source. You will also need a power source to power the streaming device. Finally, you will need an internet connection. In my circumstance I use my phone hotspot, but that *may* not provide enough bandwidth after longer viewing times. I had hoped that I could run the streaming from my phone directly to the ottocast since it was already connected, but unfortunately the signal has to run through the hdmi port.

All things considered, the ottocast is an excellent value because of the entertainment value. It’s easy to connect to your car and you can watch anything that streams from your streaming device.

This worked really well in my 2021 make vehicle with CarPlay in it. It connected easily and was so nice to just throw my phone into the car and it connecting without any issues to the CarPlay. It has good quality coming out of it and give me all of the same features as my regular CarPlay gives. So excited to have this throughout the school year and it’s hard to find and/or remember to plug in my phone.

This is great! Easy to install and works perfect! I’m obsessed!

As a Car device it works as good as it will get. Idk if it’s the device or my phone but I’ve had wireless CarPlay/TV radios and devices in my cars before and this seems to take an extra few moments to connect and display on screen. No big deal though but for someone who wants absolutely instant this isn’t so much as that. The device itself seems well made and good quality.

Works amazing, I love this thing. Not only can you use it for Apple Car play, but you can connect a HDMI video device to watch videos. I bought a streaming bluetooth dongle so that I can stream my iPad to the device. This means you can watch videos on the iPad in the back seat and play the same movie, at the same time on the main screen. Make sure you get a device that support audio delay, otherwise the audio might be off a little watching movies. The quality of the picture is decent, but I have an older car, so not expecting too much there.

I just received it and tried my Sienna LE 2023.
It worked good! Fire TV and wireless CarPlay as well.

Great use 5 *****

Have tried some other devices like this that claimed to be magic but they were confusing and didnt seem to work well. Plugged this thing and it worked with no setup or hassle. Crystal clear picture from firestick amd verizon wireless phone hotspot.

Works for my 2025 Ram

I'm very satisfied with this adapter. It has successfully upgraded my car's entertainment system.

The main reason I bought it was to use streaming apps on my car's screen, and it works perfectly. I simply plugged my streaming stick into the OTTOCAST, and now I can watch all my favorite services directly on the dashboard display. The audio plays clearly through my car's speakers.

Setup was straightforward, and it runs reliably. It's become a must-have for long trips and any time I'm waiting in the car.

If you want an easy way to add video streaming to your car, this is an excellent product that delivers on its promise. Highly recommended.

Todo bien con el Apple CarPlay Inalámbrico y el HDMI.
Puedes castear tu Lap o aparatos (videojuegos) con salida HDMI para ver en el coche (mientras estás estacionado)
Le pongo 4 porque faltó el Android Auto Inalámbrico

We had to buy a firestick to be able to use this. I love it! I can watch TV while my husband drives.

Had to have this and did much research to make sure it was compatible with my android. Well, low and behold it works! Very pleased with this for my vehicles. I have tested it in all 3 of my vehicles so it works great with my firestick. I would recommed for long car/truck rides. More than likely I'll be getting more for friends and family. I would definitely be buying from this seller again.

Nice!!!

It allows you to have GPS and Spotify inside your car while driving as long as your smartphone is paired with bluetooth and features a long lasting data plan.

Easy to connect.
Take minutes and you can use your phone on the car screen easily.
Doesn't disconnect, works well.
Good product.

REVIEW: OTTOCAST Car TV Mate Pro - WIRELESS CARPLAY ADAPTER for Apple iPhone, Fire TV Stick Converter.
Purchased July 2025 ($125)

This is my 2nd time attempting to get a CARPLAY ADAPTER to work.

Well, we've figured out why it's not working for us.

SADLY my 2017 Honda HRV was 1 year too old to accommodate Apple CarPlay technology.
I don't think my vehicle recognizes this software/adapter OR I'm just not savvy or educated enough to figure it out.
Only after researching online did we learn this unit works with vehicles 2018 or older.

Keeping this for my next (newer but not brand new) vehicle as I won't be buying top of the line and I'm looking forward to mastering it because who doesn't love watching Netflix and Prime Movies when they travel long distances... my passengers would LOVE to do that.

It’s great I purchased 2 but the one for charger scat wonderful I have Kia k5 2025 it wouldn’t connect so I’ll sending it back but the picture and quality is great we used firestick with it

Really love this ottocast. Works flawlessly except once in a while I do get a a bit of a lag but it doesn’t happen all the time which is weird. So easy to use and setup. I connected my firestick and literally plug and play. The quality is excellent, plays flawlessly.

This is an easy to use, simple adapter to mirror your screen to your car. I've had a handful of Ottocast adapters and I've always been pleased with them. This one is especially simple and doesn't take up much space. Connectivity through HDMI works very well and no hotspot needed, so speed is as good as your signal. It has been such a treat having it on road trips with my kids. All in all, I'm very happy with the quality, design, and functionality of the adapter.

Excelente producto, eficiente, fácil de instalar

Compatible with a Volkswagen Golf that already has wired CarPlay, this USB adapter makes CarPlay wireless while keeping the factory interface and controls. I like that Siri still handles calls and texts even when the HDMI input is used. The HDMI port accepts up to 2K 60Hz and shows 1080P 60Hz in the car. I appreciate the tidy, cable free setup. The car screen cannot control HDMI sources. Not for Android phones, and BMW and Tesla are excluded.

Great quality, easy installation

This is great!

I use a Roku stick to stream with this adapter, and it works perfectly. Setup was super simple. From that point on, I was setup wirelessly and streaming. Images are clear. No lag or ghosting. No weird sound issues.

Definitely remember to turn off your phone's Bluetooth if you connect wirelessly to your vehicle that way.
