Carlinkit Mini Ultra 1 - Wireless Carplay and Android Auto Adapter

Carlinkit Mini Ultra 1

An adapter designed to convert factory wired CarPlay and Android Auto systems into fully wireless systems. Unlike other models that require extension cables, this device uses a direct stick connection format. This design facilitates integration into vehicles where USB ports are located in tight spaces, glove compartments or armrests, optimising space without dangling cables. With dimensions of 32.85 x 20 x 6.55 mm and a weight of 4.1 grams, it is the brand's most compact model.

Dual-core processor

The hardware is based on a 1.0GHz dual-core processor (MIPS3 architecture) optimised for low latency. Connectivity is handled by a BCM8335 network module supporting 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz bands. The use of the 5.8GHz frequency is key to avoid interference from the 2.4GHz band in urban areas.

Wireless connectivity

The Bluetooth 5.0 protocol handles initial pairing and security validation; once the session is established, data, audio and navigation transmission is transferred to the Wi-Fi channel, achieving a boot-to-link time of around 12 seconds.

Power consumption

In terms of thermal efficiency, the device has a power consumption of only 0.75W, minimising the impact on the vehicle battery and the heating of the USB port. The housing, made of injection-moulded ABS and matte Polycarbonate (PC), incorporates an improved internal heat dissipation structure. This passive management allows for stable operation over long journeys of more than 4 hours without performance drops due to overheating(thermal throttling).

CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility

Compatibility extends to vehicles with CarPlay or Android Auto via pre-installed cable as standard. It is also functional on high-powered motorbikes with projection support (such as Honda Goldwing or Harley-Davidson), provided that the connection flow is respected: the helmet intercom must be linked to the mobile phone before starting the wireless projection via the adapter.
