Ottocast sent me this unit to test out with the various platforms I have access to. I've had issues in the past with the dated head unit on the NSX and the true touch interface on the PMC TLX Type S. I had a great time reviewing this adapter which impressed me with its quality, ease of use and compatibility. It impressed me so much I was able to get a 20% discount code applied for anyone that would like to pick one up! This will work on almost every brand, name and model with factory wired CarPlay!
Details below;

I bought the product and it works. It's a bit slow but gets the job done. If you don't have a touch screen, buy a small usb keyboard that works on Android systems. Without it, you won't be able to enter your Netflix, Spotify, or RU-vid details. You can even have IPTV!! Good product overall

@503pdxCars 5 месяцев назад

Good tip

@Megabight 4 месяца назад

On my 2019 Audi A5 the touchpad doesn't work - I am unable to do most actions in the android system (for example connect to wifi). If I enter CarPlay it just lags and stutters. Completely unusable, so be careful before you purchase.

wish i seen this before i ordered. 😩I got a 2020 a5 . hope i dont have issues

@RichardMarkowski 7 месяцев назад

I think Ottocast looking at the replies is it is very dodgy with a lot of issues! It only works for some with a lot of people having issues and no product support. I’m one of those with a dodgy unit and poor support and finding it very hard to get my money back, typical of Chinese products, what’s sad is they pretend not to be based in China.

I bought the OttoCast U2 Air Pro lasted less than a week. Their support is atrocious, it’s seriously bad. Dozens of emails, their money back guarantee doesn’t exist, it’s been 2 months of emails without any success. They finally promised to send after a month of emails, still not sent. It’s beyond a joke.

I bought the Video2player, same! Doesn’t work and no reply, after 5 emails and waiting 3 weeks they sent me a video in Chinese with Chinese writing, totally useless. They told my wife they were based in Newcastle Australia hence why she bought it first me. Truth is they are only based in China and sell dodgy products, I have had 2 technicians look at it and they say the units are hopeless. I’m trying to return it for a refund but Ottocast just won’t return my emails Don’t buy their rubbish products

I have a 2024 Civic that uses a touchscreen; how responsive is the RU-vid and Netflix connection? And when you’re playing regular music (in the Apple Music app), can you switch songs using the steering wheel control?

@503pdxCars 3 месяца назад

Responsive in terms of what? I tried to show real time/real world switching between the apps and their utilization. It’s not like an iPad but for the head units in our cars they work pretty well. Yes you can switch songs from the steering controls.

@djsthemetereman Год назад

@STAVRINIDES 2 месяца назад

Please DON'T buy this item. Total waste of your money. The display resolution of your factory OEM CarPlay or Android Auto will be much less than the OEM. Also, the unit gets very high temperatures which is quite dangerous for having it in any glove box. Better stay away from the OTTOCAST company that does not follow their returns policy. They are just losers.
