Carlinkit FireDrive CarPlay to HDMI Cable Adapter for Fire TV Stick Streaming, Media for Select Vehicles, Plug & Play, Not Compatible with Android Auto

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Excellent high quality and works really well in car

The Carlinkit FireDrive adapter is easy to use and works as expected. It lets you stream media using a Fire TV Stick in supported cars. The setup is simple—just plug and play. The only downside is that the device can get a little hot while it’s running. Overall, it does the job well. And it works.

I'm sorry to say that after much trial and error this little dongle doesn't work with my MG5's wired Car Play. The MG5 is notorious for being picky about which cables work, so I assume it's the car rather than the device, which powers on and seems to be working, I just never get a signal to the in car infotainment screen.During my experimentation I tried plugging my Macbook Pro into it to see if the issue was with my fire stick. The Mac recognised the device and outputted 1080p 60Hz to it, so it seems that the device itself is working and would also allow you to output other devices to the infotainment screen too. Maybe a console? Worth a try.The box contains everything you need to get started, but worth noting that you require 2 USB sockets in the car, one for the Car Play signal and another for additional power.Overall it didn't work for me, but I'm going to try with another car when I find a family member with Car Play.

Setting up is easy, as long as you have a TV stick and a car that this device is compatible with that has CarPlay then it should work. It comes with various different adapters so any USB or USB-C ports can be connected to it, and it comes with full instructions.Once plugged into the correct ports with the TV stick in, the CarPlay is working and able to stream anywhere you are in your car.The connection has been perfect so far with no interruptions.I think the price seems ok for the home comforts I can now take with me whenever I travel.

The Carlinkit FireDrive CarPlay to HDMI Cable Adapter is a great device for in-car entertainment. To work, it needs the vehicle to support wired CarPlay. Once fitted, the device can stream movies and apps directly to the car’s central screen.It requires a Fire TV Stick to use this adapter, once connected it converts the cars wired CarPlay connection into HDMI (via iPhone connection) so content can be streamed from the Fire Stick, e.g. Netflix, YouTube, etc.This clever device allows you to view streamed movies via a Fire Stick on the car’s central screen. It entertaining my grandkids on long journeys, without them looking down at their tables (so helping prevent car sickness).The setup is simple, plug it into your CarPlay outlet, connect it to your Fire TV Stick, and it is ready.NB: It’s not compatible with Android Auto or certain vehicles like BMW or Tesla.

I own a VW Car and just wanted something Relatively Inexpensive, which would Turn the Current In-Car Screen into a MultiMedia Device where I could Stream Movies to - I figured this would Hopefully keep my Young Kids Entertained on Long Journeys? All I can say is that it was So Easy to Connect/Set-Up and it Works an Absolute Treat! Price wise, it’s selling for just £65.99, but there’s currently a £6 off voucher on the advert that knocks it down to just under the £60 mark, which I think is Spot-On. Overall, I Don’t Technically Know How It Works, But It Does and Hat’s-Off to the Manufacturer “Carlinkit” for Creating Such a Great Device! Thank you.

There is currently a voucher on the product page taking this down to a pretty reasonable price in addition to a 10% called. So you are paying closer to £50 for it which I think is pretty good value for money. I found the set up pretty straightforward And no issues getting my vehicle to work with it. You will need a type of car that supports CarPlay for the streaming to work. Once connected you can take full advantage of your fire stick. Ideal for the kids on longer journeys this is really a nice little piece of kit that I wish I had got Long ago especially having a wired CarPlay set up in our car. Definitely want to consider, just make sure everything is compatible that you have wired CarPlay the correct type of car and fire stick.
