CarlinKit TBox Lite S – 5-in-1 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter with HDMI Out
Upgrade your factory car multimedia system with the CarlinKit TBox Lite S — a powerful 5-in-1 Android TV box that converts your OEM wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto into a full wireless, streaming-ready experience. Enjoy wireless CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, video streaming (Netflix, YouTube, IPTV), Google Play Store access, and dual-screen mirroring via mini HDMI — all without replacing your factory head unit.
⚠️ Compatibility Note: Your vehicle must already have factory-installed wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto. This device does not add CarPlay/Android Auto to cars that do not have it from the factory.
Why Choose the TBox Lite S?
- Lag-Free Performance: Significantly improved over the original TBox Lite — smoother, faster, and more responsive thanks to the upgraded Allwinner A133 Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 processor.
- Dual WiFi (2.4G + 5G): Stay connected to CarPlay or Android Auto on one WiFi band while simultaneously connecting to your home or hotspot network on the other — no interruptions, no switching.
- Built-in GMS (Google Mobile Services): Download and update apps directly from the Google Play Store. Stream Netflix, YouTube, IPTV, and thousands of other apps natively on your car screen.
- Mini HDMI Output: Mirror your car screen to a second display — perfect for rear-seat entertainment. Two screens, same interface, zero hassle.
- Dual-Mode Switch (CarPlay & Android Auto): Instantly switch between modes using the physical toggle. Green light = CarPlay mode. Blue light = Android Auto mode.
- Bluetooth 5.0: Fast, stable Bluetooth for phone calls, music streaming, and USB flash drive playback.
- Preserves Factory Controls: Your original steering wheel controls, knobs, and multimedia center commands continue to work exactly as before — no relearning required.
- Multi-Language Support: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, and many more languages supported out of the box.
