Product Introduction


Owning a car with factory wired CarPlay or Android Auto used to mean one thing: a cable on your center console, every single day. You plug in, the phone heats up, the cable wears out, and the passenger seat becomes a jungle of wires. The ZESTECH AX1800 Wired-to-Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto Adapter removes that cable for good — plug it into your car’s USB port once, and every trip afterwards starts wireless.
