Kia India Launches Rs 4,344 Adapter to Add Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto

The retrofit removes cables by turning existing wired phone mirroring into wireless via a simple USB plug-in with phone pairing.

Overview

  • The accessory connects to the USB port used for wired Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and establishes a wireless link after pairing with a smartphone.
  • Kia lists broad model coverage, including Seltos, Sonet, Carens and Carens Clavis.
  • It is available through authorised Kia dealerships and service centres in India, with installation described as plug-and-play and requiring no major hardware changes.
  • The device works for both current owners and new buyers, giving a lower-cost option versus moving to a higher trim or a new vehicle.
  • It targets variants that only offer wired mirroring, often those with mid-size infotainment displays lacking built-in wireless capability.
