Many factory head units only support wired CarPlay, so the iPhone gets plugged into the USB port every time you get in and unplugged when you leave. The wireless CarPlay solution is a small adapter that plugs into the head unit USB port. The phone pairs with it over Bluetooth and streams over 5 GHz Wi-Fi, connecting automatically after you start the car, with maps, music, calls and the voice assistant on the centre screen as usual. The same hardware can also provide wireless Android Auto and rear-seat screen casting.
Wired CarPlay needs the phone in the head unit USB port, so short errands, school runs and fuel stops all mean plugging in again. The cable gets crushed on the console and the port loosens from constant use, causing drop-outs.
Swapping in an aftermarket screen for wireless CarPlay means removing the dash panel and changing the wiring, and steering-wheel buttons, the reversing camera and vehicle settings may stop working, with warranty implications. Most drivers just want wireless connection without touching the car.
When one family member uses an iPhone and another uses Android, CarPlay and Android Auto are two different protocols. An adapter that supports only one stops working when the driver changes, and dealers have to stock two products.
In ride-hailing cars, business vans and family trips, rear passengers who want to watch a video or share photos have to hold the phone up or pass it around. A rear screen that only plays local files runs out of content fast.
The adapter plugs into the head unit USB port normally used for the phone and is powered from it. Pair the phone over Bluetooth once, then it reconnects automatically every time you start the car, even with the phone in your pocket. No dash removal and no wiring changes.
Bluetooth handles discovery and pairing, while picture, audio and touch data travel over 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Touchscreen, steering-wheel buttons and the car microphone keep working, so maps, music, calls and Siri behave as they did with the cable.
The same hardware supports both wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, so iPhone and Android phones both connect and the adapter stays the same when the driver changes. Supported protocols and the vehicle list are confirmed per project.
Rear entertainment screens can take an ANLYA wireless video receiver, sending the centre-screen or phone picture to the back seats so nobody passes phones around. It can also be built as a standalone rear casting box with an enclosure and mounting made for the vehicle.

Cabling hassle and adapter chaos in meeting rooms, especially with BYOD guests.
View solution →KVM ExtensionThe host must live in a rack or server room while the operator sits tens of metres away.
View solution →Film & BroadcastCameras move constantly while director, focus puller and client all need the same feed.
View solution →Portable DisplayPortable monitors still need an HDMI or Type-C cable to the source, which gets in the way when moving around or sharing the screen.
View solution →Wired & FiberBetween buildings, across a site or in heavy RF interference, wireless cannot reach and HDMI cable cannot run that far.
View solution →Pro DisplayWorkstations, graphics cards and pro monitors mostly use DisplayPort. Going wireless means stacking DP-to-HDMI adapters, which is messy and hard to keep compatible.
View solution →Mobile CastingLaptops, tablets and phones often have only USB-C, so casting starts with hunting for an adapter, and guest devices in meeting rooms and showrooms vary widely.
View solution →DockingLaptops have few ports, so monitors, keyboard and mouse, Ethernet and charging all need adapters, and casting in a meeting room means carrying yet another dongle.
View solution →Medical & IndustrialMobile probes tangle cables; routing between operating room and lecture hall is restricted.
