1. Your Car’s System is Outdated
- Many factory infotainment systems (like Geely’s CarbitLink) don’t support CarPlay/Android Auto natively or only offer basic mirroring.
- Even if they do, manufacturers often stop updating the software, leaving you stuck with old apps and maps.
2. Your Phone is Smarter Than Your Car
- Smartphones get yearly updates with new features (e.g., Apple CarPlay Dashboard, Android Auto Coolwalk).
- Your car’s built-in system can’t keep up, but an adapter lets you project the latest phone features seamlessly.
3. Access Your Favorite Apps & Music
- Factory systems often lack Spotify, Waze, WhatsApp, or other apps you use daily.
- An adapter mirrors your phone’s ecosystem, so you keep your playlists, navigation, and messages.
4. Wireless Freedom
- Carbitlink adapters convert wired CarPlay to wireless, so you don’t need to plug in your phone everytime.
5. No Need to Replace the Whole Head Unit
- Installing an aftermarket stereo is expensive and complex.
- A $50-$150 adapter gives you CarPlay/Android Auto without tearing apart your dashboard.
