The AutoLinkr Pro is a plug-in adapter that turns a wired CarPlay or Android Auto head unit into a wireless one, and adds a built-in Google Play Store so the factory screen can run Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu and other apps. It pairs once and reconnects automatically in about 15 seconds, keeps the car microphone and steering-wheel controls, and runs on the car's USB power with no separate battery. A microSD slot up to 128GB allows offline playback. It suits drivers who want cable-free CarPlay plus passenger video, but streaming needs a phone hotspot and video is meant for parked or passenger use.

AutoLinkr Pro is a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto adapter. It also streams Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu and any Google Play Store app on your car's factory screen. You plug it into the USB port your car already uses for CarPlay and pair your phone once. After that, it connects automatically on every drive with no cable.
Apple Maps, Siri, Messages, steering-wheel controls and the car microphone keep working as before. It has a built-in Google Play Store with apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, Spotify and Waze. Video is for passengers and parked use. A microSD slot lets you play downloaded shows and playlists without data.
It connects in about 15 seconds on every start. No app, account or menus are needed after the first pairing. Streaming uses your phone's hotspot or any Wi-Fi network. It does not add CarPlay to a car that has none.
