In this review, I look at the FAST switching MINIX CP85 2-in-1 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter Review. You can buy this dongle for $39.92 from Amazon US 👉🏻 amzn.to/3EdGiO1, for £62.99 from Amazon UK 👉🏻 amzn.to/4aD6pKg, for €55.99 from Amazon DE 👉🏻 amzn.to/4hbeqJb, and for $142.63 from Amazon AU 👉🏻 amzn.to/3EakdA7. It is currently $89.90 on the MINIX website, but it is currently sold out bit.ly/cp85minix.
TLDR: The MINIX CP85 is a 2-in-1 wireless adapter for CarPlay and Android Auto, offering fast boot times (10 seconds for CarPlay, 14 seconds for Android Auto) and smooth performance. It features a physical switch button for easy device switching, though it requires disconnecting Bluetooth on the current device first. While not as seamless as the discontinued DRERYRIT adapter, it’s one of the best options for multi-user support. However, both adapters are reportedly being discontinued, so grab one soon if you’re interested in multi-device support and wireless functionality.
