Carlinkit CPC200 Tbox converts your wired CarPlay in your vehicle into wireless Android Auto and works with both iPhone and Android phones. The device is simple to set up, taking only about 30-40 seconds from powering up to being able to access your phone’s apps in Android Auto and CarPlay. From there it’s easy to use and you don’t need your phone unless you want to change settings or add an app.

The Carlinkit Tbox has a few extra features compared to their older TBox Mini. It supports TF card slots so you can install additional media and it has a SIM slot that allows you to use an independent 4G network instead of your phone’s hotspot. This can be useful if you are concerned about your smartphone’s battery aging due to frequent usage as a hotspot.

What is Carlinkit Tbox? Features and Benefits of This Game-Changer

Another change is the addition of an RGB exterior that can be programmed to flash or blink in any color you choose. This can be a fun feature for a party or just to show off your car. Despite the new design there are still some problems with this model like a poor Bluetooth connection to your phone and audio bugs that produce clipped music when listening over the native head unit.

Overall the Tbox is a solid performer for its price. It’s a great way to get CarPlay in your car for a fraction of the cost of a full-featured digital multimedia receiver. It also offers a better experience than other AI Boxes, though the 30fps limit does hamper performance during video playback and gaming.
