In this review, I look at the CarlinKit Mini Ultra CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter. You can buy this wireless dongle for $40 directly from the CarlinKit store 👉🏻 bit.ly/miniultra using my coupon code ‘carplaylife’ at checkout, $42.80 from Amazon US 👉🏻 amzn.to/4lnA2Dn, £40 from Amazon UK 👉🏻 amzn.to/43mfMuL, for $66.77 from Amazon CA 👉🏻 amzn.to/45geAvy, and for €37.81 from Amazon DE 👉🏻 amzn.to/3ZmbfY4.
TLDR: The CarlinKit Mini Ultra is the smallest 2-in-1 adapter I’ve reviewed, delivering fast, reliable CarPlay and Android Auto performance in a compact and affordable package—just don’t expect a premium build to match its top-tier results.
