The last wire in your car is the one you notice every single day. The Untethered is a 2-in-1 adapter that frees Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from the cable — plug it into your car's USB port once, and your phone connects wirelessly every time you start the engine, automatically and without a second thought.
Inside the compact housing sits a 5GHz WiFi-5 radio and the protocol stack that negotiates with your head unit in seconds. It is compatible with the overwhelming majority of original wired CarPlay systems — the adapter speaks to your car exactly the way your phone's cable did, then relays that conversation over the air. The result is the same familiar interface, the same steering-wheel controls, the same crisp audio, minus the ritual of plugging in.
Dual-protocol support means a household with mixed phones is covered: iPhone users get wireless CarPlay, Android users get wireless Android Auto, all through the same dongle. Setup takes about a minute on first use, and the adapter remembers your phone thereafter. Small enough to disappear behind the console trim, it transforms a daily commute from a routine of cables and connectors into a seamless hand-off the moment you sit down.
Freedom is a car that already knows you are home.
The convenience math is simple: a cable plug-in takes seconds, but it happens every trip, twice a day, hundreds of times a year. Multiply those seconds by the frustration of a worn port, a phone that slides out of reach, or a passenger who needs directions from the back seat, and the adapter pays for itself in the first month. It is the rare car accessory that does not add a new ritual — it removes an old one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it work with my car?
A: It works with any car that has original wired Apple CarPlay. Check your head unit: if CarPlay currently works via USB cable, the adapter will convert it to wireless. Android Auto wireless support depends on your head unit's Android Auto implementation.
Q: Does it add noticeable delay?
A: The 5GHz WiFi-5 link keeps latency low — fine for navigation, calls, music, and Siri. It is not designed for lag-sensitive gameplay, but everyday use feels responsive.
Q: How long does setup take?
A: About one minute the first time: plug in, accept the prompt, and pair. The adapter remembers your phone and reconnects automatically on later drives.
Q: Can it be used in two different cars?
A: Yes — it is portable. Unplug and move it to another vehicle with wired CarPlay; pairing carries over or re-pairs in under a minute.
Q: Does it support wireless charging at the same time?
A: Yes. Many users pair the adapter with a MagSafe or Qi charger: the phone charges on the pad while data flows through the adapter.
Q: Will firmware updates be available?
A: The adapter supports OTA firmware updates to maintain compatibility as car manufacturers and phone OS versions evolve.
Q: Is it safe to leave plugged in?
A: The adapter draws minimal power in standby and is rated for automotive temperature ranges, so it can be left installed permanently.
Q: Does it work with rental cars?
A: Yes, it is an excellent travel companion for rental cars with wired CarPlay — plug it in and your phone is connected before you leave the lot.
Q: Which phone models are supported?
A: All iPhones with CarPlay support and Android phones with Android Auto support. The adapter does not require a specific phone model.
