OttoAibox P3 CarPlay AI Box

So far it s working but after the update Disney+ isn t compatible.

This is really awesome. I turned my radio into a pc tablet. I can browse the web, check my email with outlook, company apps. This is what I was looking for. I did not see any YouTube videos on this. I should make one lol. Here what I bought, ottocast for car play and this foldable keyboard and mouse. Everything works. I can do my field reports without bringing my laptop to work.

This is awesome! In my picture I uploaded I was watching a zoom Karate seminar my kid was in from my car using the zoom app on my ottocast. It works great!

I use my iPhone as a hotspot and QUICK TIP, if you want Ottocast to auto-connect to your iPhone hotspot telling Siri to turn on hotspot keeps it on I find. So whenever I enter my car it just connects. There s also a hotspot shortcut in iOS 15 in control center you can click to just make it discoverable

I was using this in an Infiniti QX50 and it worked and I liked it. But it did crash and freeze sometimes but someone totaled that car when it was parked. I now use it in a 2025 Honda CRV and it works even smoother! It works GREAT! Much better than in the Infiniti

One more thing I found that gave me trouble in the past. I used to hit multicar app to use apple play and it took a long time to connect on the next screen and when it did connect, I couldn t use my steering wheel buttons to control CarPlay. By accident, I hit multicar to launch CarPlay but when it popped up to the connection screen, instead of clicking the screen to connect I just hit back instead of trying to connect and it connected to CarPlay a different way which is much faster and works near perfect

I know it is hard to explain and that may not have made sense but it seems there are different ways to use the Ottocast to connect to CarPlay on your phone. One way is slow and finicky for me and the other works great

Love this device to watch, YouTube, Netflix, CarPlay etc!

Touchscreen doesn't work with my 2024 jeep wrangler

This is such a great adapter - works wonderfully and fits right in the palm of your hand. I appreciate its size and how well it works; sound quality is good and it's tiny yet durable. Its connection is awesome and it has no lagging. Great price and value and better entertainment on the go!

This is such a snazzy device in every way, from aesthetic to how well it works. It's easy to set up and use and there was no lagging, perfect connectivity. The sound is awesome and it's overall a great device for your vehicle that is affordable and very fun!

This Ottocast is very nice. It runs full android so you can use streaming apps like netflix, youtube, and spotify right on the car screen. The snapdragon 665, 8 GB ram, and 128 GB are quite decent specs, and split screen multitasking is cool for running navigation and media side by side. It has hdmi output for 1080p backseat displays, expandable microsd storage, and a nano sim slot for independent data. However, the included instructions arent great, so expect to watch a lot of youtube videos and spend time troubleshooting to get everything configured. Still, overall, it s a powerful, well specced way to upgrade your driving experience.

?? My Car Screen Is Now a Super Tablet

? Non-Stop Entertainment: Finally! I have Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and all Google Play apps directly on my dashboard (for passenger use while parked, of course). Long trips and waiting times are now a pleasure.
? Professional Multitasking: The Split-Screen feature is pure gold. I use Waze or Maps on one side and my favorite music player or even a web browser on the other. It works flawlessly!
?? Connectivity That Just Works
The promise of connectivity is real and stable.
? Goodbye Cables: Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto connect instantly, every single time. The stability is perfect; there are no annoying dropouts or lag.
? Dedicated Connection: The power of the SIM slot allows me to have dedicated Internet for the car, separate from my phone. It s the level of professionalism I was hoping for.

Conclusion:
The OTTOCAST P3 2025 is an incredible value investment. If you value time, efficiency, and in-car entertainment, you have to buy this. It is not just a product; it is a lifestyle upgrade.
Thank you, Ottocast, for this brilliant product! BUY IT NOW!

Didn't work well for me but I purchased Ottocast other model and it's awesome! I run my Firestick through it and tether to my phone.

My family like to go out during the weekend for trips, all year round. As we spend a fair amount of time in the car, I'm always looking for ways to make drives more enjoyable and efficient for the passengers. My vehicle came with CarPlay, which was functional but felt limiting. I wanted seamless connectivity, more entertainment options, and less cable clutter. With Ottocast P3 CarPlay AI Box, I think my car system is much enhanced. Here s my detailed take after using it for a while.

The Setup: surprisingly straightforward. Getting the P3 up and running was pretty simple. I just plugged it into my car's USB port (the one I used for wired CarPlay). The first boot took less than a minute. I then connected my phone to the device via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Subsequent starts were faster, and my phone now connects automatically when I get in the car. It truly is a plug-and-play experience.

Daily Use: mixed mag of brilliance and minor hiccups. The core promise of the P3 is to add wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and a whole Android-based infotainment system (OttoDrive 2.0 based on Android system). It largely delivers.
1. Wireless freedom is fantastic: ditching the cable for CarPlay is the most significant quality of life improvement. Getting in and out of the car without fumbling with wires feels liberating. Both wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto worked reliably for me after the initial setup.
2. An entertainment hub on wheels: This is where the P3 shines. The built-in Android system lets you install apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify directly. The HDMI output is a great for long trips with passengers. I could stream videos to the headrest screens while still using Google Maps for navigation on the main display.
3. Performance is mostly smooth: With its Qualcomm CPU & 8GB RAM, the P3 is no slouch. Scrolling through menus and switching between apps like TikTok was generally smooth. I did notice a very slight audio delay sometimes when watching videos, but it wasn't a major issue for me. It's snappier than I expected for a car device.
4. The little things: The FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) update feature is great. The customizable ambient LED lights are a fun touch to personalize the cabin mood.

A Few Considerations It hasn't been perfect. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Compatibility is key: This is the most crucial step. The P3 only works with cars that have factory-wired CarPlay. It is not compatible with BMW vehicles or Sony aftermarket head-units. If you drive a Mitsubishi, you must double-check compatibility before buying. My advice: always confirm your specific car's compatibility on the Ottocast website.
2. Slight learning curve: Switching between the native CarPlay interface and the full Android OttoDrive system felt a bit confusing at first. However, I got used to it quickly.
3. Boot Time: While regular starts are quick, a full cold boot of the Android system takes around 43 seconds. I don't turn it off often, so this isn't a daily problem for me.

Verdict: worthy upgrade for the right user
Overall, my experience with the Ottocast P3 has been overwhelmingly positive. It has genuinely transformed my daily commute and road trips. I would highly recommend the Ottocast P3 to:
1. Anyone with a compatible car who wants to cut the cord and enjoy wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.
2. Families or frequent travelers who want more passenger entertainment options via HDMI output and app streaming.
3. Tech enthusiasts who want to extend their car's infotainment capabilities beyond standard offerings.
You might want to think twice if:
1. Your car isn't on the compatible list (especially BMW owners).
2. You only want basic wireless CarPlay and don't care about the extra Android apps and streaming features. A simpler, more basic wireless adapter might suffice.

This is one of the best adapters I've used for wireless carplay. I've had several Ottocast adapters, and they have all been good quality, but this has to be my favorite. It allows a lot of options right on your car screen. Streaming and connectivity have worked great with little lag. It is easy to use with a ton on options. It is especially great if you have kids. All in all, the adapter is excellent quality with an equally excellent performance.

This is the best! Setup was incredibly easy, just plug it in and it connects right away, no messy wires or confusing steps. The interface looks clean and modern.

Everything runs really smoothly apps open fast, no lag, and I can stream videos without any hiccups. The split-screen feature is super handy too; I can have my maps up while playing music or a video.

It also works perfectly with my car s CarPlay, and I was surprised at how quickly it connects every time I start the car. The size is small enough that it doesn t clutter up my space, and I can easily move it between cars if I need to.
Overall, it s made my drives way more fun and convenient- note not for me but the passengers in my car. I'm not driving and watching videos!

Excellent device that makes long car rides a thing of the past, as long as you have an internet connection.

Out of the box, this thing is awesome. I put it in a 2023 Chevy blazer. I would of gave it 5 stars but it had one flaw. When I start my vehicle everytime, it took a minute for it to find the service from the Sim I got in it. Another thing I noticed is when it is hot outside and I left in in the car heat, it flickers till it cools down. Other than that, this thing is a beast. I got a 16 inch portable display and a seat bracket that attached to two headrest, then ran a micro hdmi to micro hdmi from the unit to the display and wow..... rear seat entertainment. There are a lot of these types of units out there but there were a few reasons I went with this one. Reason 1# it is easy to take it out with you anytime you get out of the car. Car thief still happens. Reason 2# what ever I play on the main screen plays in the rear screen, but if you swipe left to right from the left of the screen and the navigation bar shows. From there you can go to the settings tab and there is a tab that reads Cast to HDMI. If you press it, the video or app still will play for the rear but goes back to the main screen in the front. Not only that, you can also take this and hook it to your tv, get a Bluetooth mouse, and now it is like a firestick or something. Reason 3# sim card and micro SD slot. Will work with a tablet plan, I get unlimited internet and it has the option to wifi tether for the car. The sds i can use is up to 256gb. I put movies on it, put it in the device and boom ?? best this since sliced bread. Since I do rideshare, it makes customers tip more, and with the ability to take everything out in seconds is like a dream.

The CarPlay / Android Auto 3-in-1 device, model P3, by Ottocast is made in PRC (china). The Ottocast P3 runs a full version of Android 12 on a Snapdragon 665 8 core processor with 8 GB of ram and 128 GB of onboard storage. The P3 takes about 60 seconds to start up, and then for my vehicle's CarPlay functionality to recognize it. I use the P3 in three different vehicles, and they are very different experiences. The work truck is newest, and plugs right into the Ford sync stuff via USB-C and the touchscreen display on the vehicle takes over. My 2024 Toyota Corolla works fine and I use the USB-C plug. My 2021 Mazda is a struggle, as the touchscreen is not available when in motion. I use Waze as my app while driving, and the P3 handles this well when tethered to my phone's hotspot. The P3 is better than my phone, so I prefer the smoother experience the P3 provides.

The P3 requires the setup to occur in the vehicle, as it needs a touchscreen. I did connect a bluetooth remote and keyboard so I could hook up the P3 to a monitor or TV and get that to work. The P3 does not work with a 4K output, but it seem to max out at 2520x1080 resolution. The P3 does support 5Ghz 802.11ac level speeds (up to 867 Mbps) and Bluetooth 5. My order included a bluetooth remote and a mini-hdmo to full size hdmi cable. A fully configured P3 worked great on the hotel TV with the hotel wifi, so the kids shows were not missed. I like having one box with the streaming services we use and their passwords on it when traveling (good entertainment value).

I also use the P3 Lite (half the cores/ram/storage), and the full P3 is not any faster with android it seems. I normally use one app at a time (Waze when driving or Hulu on the hotel tv). I think the P3 is a good value around $200 because of the HDMI output. Setup is the most difficult part of this box, as a touchscreen is vital to using the P3.
4 stars

Excellent!!!

This is a plug and play adapter with a Sim and micro SD slots for connectivity and expansion. The unit fires up and starts to update settings for the system. The Android desktop shows with installed apps. There is internal connectivity or can use a hotspot from another mobile device. The unit does have a couple quirks. Power cuts when used on certain vehicles when the ignition is turned off. Another is is that the unit doesn t connect occasionally when the vehicle ignition goes on and off. Other than that, this unit is recommended for versatility.

This Ottocast P3 is a little unreliable at times but overall I love the unit and features as it gives me a wireless Android auto connection and all the apps I could ever want. I really enjoy using this, it was easy to set up and use, loads fast and is fully compatible with the stereo in my car. It is pretty small and tucks out of sight easily. It's also really nice that I don't always have to connect my phone to access apps. Feels like a good value for all of the features you get. Particularly enjoy the ability to play videos and streaming apps.

This CarPlay box makes road trips much more enjoyable. It connects quickly and supports both CarPlay and Android Auto without any glitches. The HDMI output is a nice feature for versatility, especially when using it outside the car. Streaming apps work smoothly, and there s little to no lag. Overall, it feels like a premium upgrade for the car system.

I have a 2016 Camaro SS that I bought with a rebuilt title. So Onstar is disabled and they apparently lock radio updates. I have Apple Carplay built in but cannot add Android Auto. The device worked just not nearly was well as I had thought and hoped it would.

This device worked pretty well. After the initial setup, which takes a bit of time, it works well. The initial setup involves logging in to all your streaming services, setting up your screens, etc. This is basically the same type of setup you would do for a phone or a tablet, but in your car, so set aside some time to fully customize it how YOU want it. I did not use the SIM connectivity, and opted to use my phone's hotspot, and it ran perfectly fine. I was able to stream seamlessly in my truck, with minimal effort. I know I barely scratched the surface of this device's capabilities, but in all honesty, it's a bit much to deal with, for me. The other thing to keep in mind is that the performance is also dependent on the hardware you have in your car. My touchscreen isn't the most reactive, so it caused quite a bit of frustration at times, but I understand that is a limitation of my truck, and NOT the device itself. Overall, this device has a lot to offer, and maybe too much. It can turn your stereo into a full media suite if that is what you are looking for. For me, it was a little more than I need.

Easy to set up and connect. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto work smoothly. The video quality is clear with HDMI output. No lag or disconnection issues. Compact and portable design. Makes driving safer and more enjoyable. Great value for the features provided.

Works great out of the box..supplied cords could be longer, but awesome product over all.
