In praise of Ottocast

Had one of theee recommended to me, and a few weeks ago took the plunge and ordered one...

What a phenomenonal little piece of kit!

Basically, if you have a vehicle with Carplay or Android Auto that requires the phone to be plugged in by a cable, such as my van, this little device plugs in and converts it to wireless Carplay/Android Auto.

Very easy to set up, and once everything is sorted its brilliant. It connects automatically within seconds of the ignition going on, works seamlessly and is every bit as reliable and quick as the cable connection.

An easy 10/10.

Wireless android/carplay. Another thing I've looked at for the van.....

I have a Broadit mount for the phone - what an ace bit of kit - no drilling, but I have to plug the phone in if I want the android shizzle. The van does not have anywhere for a big phone to be placed, or any phone TBH - big problem, so the mounts were purchased.


Not usually an issue as I have a short double right angle charge cable that keeps the wires out of the way, and low profile. If the 'dongles' are as low profile as the cables, I'll get one - this is the smallest I've seen so far that you've linked to, but I'll wait - I am a clutz, and my van's USB location needs a low profile attachment.
