Overview
The Lincisoonic C1 is a mini USB dongle that plugs into a car's existing wired Apple CarPlay port and turns it wireless, using 5.8GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 for the phone-to-dongle link. It ships with a USB-C cable and suits any iPhone on iOS 10 or later.
This is a retrofit, not a standalone CarPlay system: the car still needs factory wired CarPlay for the C1 to have anything to plug into. Lincisoonic quotes an initial pairing of 5 to 10 seconds and a 3-second auto-reconnect on later starts, backed by an A7S chip. The seller also claims testing against 800-plus vehicle models and includes a USB-A/USB-C adapter to match different car ports.
- Mini USB dongle design
- 5.8GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 5.3
- 3-second reconnect after first pairing
- USB-C cable and USB-A/USB-C adapter included
Who it's for
Owners of a car with wired Apple CarPlay already built in who want to stop plugging in a Lightning cable every trip. Not for cars without factory CarPlay, and not for Android Auto, since this dongle is iPhone-only.
Pros and cons
- IPhone only, no Android Auto support
- Needs factory wired CarPlay already present
- One EV owner had to unplug it near home to stop it auto-connecting
Performance notes
The C1 relies on 5.8GHz Wi-Fi for the video and audio stream and Bluetooth 5.3 to handshake with the phone, which is why Lincisoonic quotes a fast reconnect once the pairing is established the first time.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Lincisoonic C1 work with Android phones?
No, it converts wired Apple CarPlay to wireless and needs an iPhone on iOS 10 or later; it has no Android Auto mode.
Will the C1 add CarPlay to a car that does not have it?
No. It only converts an existing wired CarPlay connection to wireless, so the car needs factory wired CarPlay already.
