Used a dongle to enable wireless Android auto & carplay on my Baleno

Resolution is the same as in wired mode so no loss in picture quality (Because the connection is through WiFi).

MSXTTLY Wireless AA/Carplay Adapter SMT-AC01

  • My Car: New Baleno 2022 Delta (Only has wired AA and Carplay!)
  • My Phone: Samsung S23 Ultra

Ever since the day I brought my car, I was on the hunt to convert my infotainment to wireless. There weren't much options 2 years back and the ones that were there, were expensive and unreliable.

I was hesitant to get this (looking at the price), Believe me the Wireless AA and Carplay technology is not cheap and is apparently difficult to implement, but after thorough research of user reviews and youtube reviews. I decided to take a leap of faith. This device seems to have released in US and Europe as well, And the response there is pretty darn positive.

The pairing is fairly easy, You switch both the bluetooth and wifi on, on your mobile. Then you plug it in the AA/Carplay Usb port. After that you pair it with your mobile's bluetooth and voila, It will establish a wifi connection with your device.

Pros:

  1. Speed and responsiveness is as good as it is in Wired mode. No lags, no stuttering and no ghosting (bear in mind it also depends on your infotainments capabilities, like if it was lagging in wired mode it might also lag in wireless)
  2. Resolution is the same as in wired mode so no loss in picture quality (Because the connection is through WiFi).
  3. Value for money.
  4. Once you complete the initial setup, It takes like 10 seconds to connect after you turn ignition in your car (like any other OEM wireless AA/Carplay would)
  5. Great design and tiny, Almost gives a feeling like it isn't even there. MSXTTLY really put their all in this latest model, After dabbling in their initial AA/Carplay Usb adapters which were a lot bigger.

Cons:

  1. So far none! I am only worried about it's reliability and ofc you can't expect much from Chinese service providers. There's a saying for Chinese products: "Chale to Chaand tak, Nahi to Sham tak ".
