Quad Lock QLA-CPA-2 Wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Adapter

The Quad Lock® Wireless Adapter lets you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto without connecting your smartphone via a cable, transforming an already wired infotainment system into a wireless solution. Compact and lightweight, it plugs directly into the vehicle's USB port and uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies to communicate with your phone. After initial pairing, the connection occurs automatically when the car is started, allowing you to access navigation, music, calls, and messages through the infotainment system.
