  • Which Ottocast unit is compatible with my car?
    Ottocast products work for most cars with factory head units that have wired Apple Carplay or Android Auto. These cars range from 2016 to current models. Our products do not work for cars that do not have a touch screen. Please see our compatibility page to see which models require a wired Apple CarPlay connection vs which require a wired Android Auto connection.
  • My car does not have Apple CarPlay. Will this convert my infotainment system to Apple CarPlay?
    No. The head unit must have wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto already for the the Ottocast to convert it to wireless. Please instead check out our collection of Apple CarPlay screens to sit atop your dash board.
  • Which unit should I purchase?
    Head to our product comparison page to view the basics of what each unit has to offer, then head to the product listing for more details.
  • Will it work for Mitsubishi?
    Yes. Ottocast products work on Mitsubishi cars, but many of them need a "Y Cable" and 2.4 amp cigarette lighter charger. These are used to supplement the power to the unit, as the USB A ports on some Mitsubishi head units do not provide enough power for the Ottocast to stay connected. We have found this to be a mixed bag, as to which makes and models actually need this supplement. One end will plug into the car USB port, the other into your cigarette lighter charger, and the last end into the Ottocast.
  • Will it work on my aftermarket head unit?
    So far these have been tested on some models of head units that have Apple CarPlay including brands; JBL, Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion. They do not work on Sony head units.
  • Do Ottocast products work with the BMW iDrive system or Holden MyLink system?
    Only our OttoAiBox is specifically designed only for BMWs with iDrive 6/7/8/9. Holden's MyLink is not compatible with any of our products.
  • My car has Apple CarPlay, but I want Android Auto. Is this possible?
    Yes! Our U2-X Pro will provide you with both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. If you would like the additional features of Netflix and Youtube, please see the Play2Video Pro.
  • My car has Android Auto, but I want Apple CarPlay. Is this possible?
    No. While some of our products convert wired Apple CarPlay into wireless Android Auto, none of them will convert Wired Android Auto into Wireless Apple CarPlay.
  • What is the average connection time for the Ottocast adapters?
    The average connection time for the adapter will vary depending on your phone and car, but it typically takes between 7-14 seconds to establish a connection.
  • How does the unit connect to my phone?
    The adapter is equipped with both WiFi and Bluetooth hardware. It will connect to your phone via Bluetooth and send through the WiFi credentials. Then the adapter will disconnect from the Bluetooth network and operate solely over WiFi from that point onwards.
  • Will I be provided with an order number?
    Yes, upon successfully placing an order, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 15min, please check your Spam/Junk folder in your emails.
