In this review, I look at the Ottocast Car TV Mate Pro. You can buy this wireless and HDMI adapter for $69 Ottocast directly using the $30-off coupon code CL30 at checkout ππ» bit.ly/ottocasttvmatepro, $89 from Amazon US ππ» amzn.to/3P33aSo, Β£65 from Amazon UK ππ» amzn.to/3BwDc6O, β¬99.99 from Amazon DE ππ» amzn.to/49DOi6w, $115.89 from Amazon CA ππ» amzn.to/4fkmjKA
π UNI HDMI to USB-C Cable used in this video - amzn.to/4ePjDFI
TLDR: The Ottocast Car TV Mate Pro is a new HDMI to CarPlay adapter that adds wireless CarPlay and HDMI input capabilities. It lets users connect devices like Fire TV Sticks and mirror their iPhone's screen. However, the adapter has some issues - it can be buggy, the cable is too long, its USB port doesn't provide enough power for connected devices, and the screen adjustments don't always work properly across display sizes. Overall, this type of adapter is a step in the right direction, but there is still room for improvement before it offers a seamless and enjoyable experience.

[UPDATE: there has been some updates to the R7 Pro thats meant to have fixed issues in this video, namely the 5G performance and audio issues. I have yet to confirm these myself.]
Is the Bruxe R7 Pro 5G AI Box worth it? In this review, I fully test the latest Qualcomm 6350-powered Android 15 AI Box with wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, HDMI out, and split-screen support.
I benchmark performance, test 4K playback, gaming, AV sync, audio quality, mirroring, and 5G connectivity here in the UK. Youβll see how it compares to other QC6350 AI Boxes β and whether its premium build and fast boot speed justify the price.
If youβre looking for the fastest 6350 AI Box tested so far, but want to know about its limitations before buying, this review covers everything you need to know.
