Are you going on holiday by car soon and do you want to enjoy your favourite music without a care and always have navigation at hand? Then a wireless Apple CarPlay dongle is an excellent choice. iPhoned has listed the best dongles for you!
What is Apple CarPlay
With Apple CarPlay, you connect your iPhone to your car stereo, and iOS takes over the screen. You can then use it to control your music, navigate, or answer phone calls. The app icons are deliberately larger than on your iPhone, and you can use Siri via voice control, so that CarPlay can be used safely while driving.
Sounds convenient, right? Usually this works by connecting your phone to your car with a cable, but it can also be done wirelessly. iPhoned has listed the best wireless CarPlay dongles for your holiday.
