Turns Factory Wired CarPlay Wireless

The HoFonS adapter converts a vehicle's original wired CarPlay connection into a wireless link for iPhone 6 and later running iOS 10 or above. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi to maintain a stable, low-latency connection between phone and head unit. The compact aluminium-alloy dongle plugs into the factory USB-C port and requires no additional hardware installation.

For iPhone Owners With Factory CarPlay

Drivers who already have factory wired CarPlay and want cable-free convenience will benefit from plug-and-play auto-reconnection and retained steering-wheel, touchscreen, knob and Siri voice controls. Buyers whose vehicles lack factory CarPlay, or who need Android Auto support, cannot use this adapter. It also does not add video streaming apps or an independent Android operating system.

USB-C Input With Bluetooth 5.0

The sole physical interface is a USB Type-C plug that draws 5 V power from the car's factory port while Bluetooth 5.0 handles the initial handshake before switching to 2.4–5 GHz Wi-Fi for data. No other connection types or wireless standards are supported.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this silver USB-C adapter or one of the AI Box models listed?

Choose this adapter if your car already has factory-wired CarPlay and you only want to cut the cable; the AI Box units are for adding smart apps like Netflix to screens that lack CarPlay entirely.

What does "zero lag" feel like once the adapter is plugged into my car?

The Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi link keep the connection stable so navigation, Siri, music and calls respond as quickly as they did with the original wired connection.

Which interface does the adapter use and what does it limit in practice?

It plugs into the car's USB-C port and uses Bluetooth 5.0 plus 2.4-5 GHz Wi-Fi, so the wireless link is capped by those standards rather than by any newer protocol.
