About the CRUX ACP-WL Wireless Apple CarPlay® Interface
Go with wireless Apple CarPlay
Go with wireless Apple CarPlay
If you've got a factory or aftermarket car stereo that includes wired Apple CarPlay, CRUX's ACP-WL interface lets you convert it to wireless CarPlay. Simply plug the interface into the stereo's CarPlay-compatible USB port, wait for confirmation on the stereo's display, and switch it on through the Bluetooth® settings in your iPhone®. And bingo, you're good to go wirelessly. The ACP-WL will remember your settings when you hop back in your vehicle. The ACP-WL interface works with any factory radio with wired Apple CarPlay, and with any radios with wired Apple CarPlay made by Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer, Jensen, Boss, Dual, Axxera, and Stinger.
Simple integration
"So now when I hop in my 2017 VW and don't need a charge, I don't even have to get my phone out of my pocket to use CarPlay. This interface also features a USB pass-through port. I leave my iPhone's Lightning® cable in the car in case I decide I need a charge, and when plugged in, the wired CarPlay re-syncs and takes over. It's a great piece that I think our customers will love.”
— Darren, Crutchfield Vehicle Integration Buyer
Wired or wireless
This CRUX solution includes the hideaway interface and the USB-A to USB-C plug to connect to your stereo's USB input. The ACP-WL includes a pass-through USB port, so you can switch back to wired CarPlay by connecting your iPhone using a Lightning® cable to keep your battery charged. If you want to stay wireless, you may want to consider a wireless Qi charger to help keep your iPhone's battery replenished.
Compatibility note: This interface is currently not compatible with Sony car stereos.

Customer Q&A
Q
I have a 2015 Chevy trax without Apple Car Play, will it work with my current stereo?
A
This only converts wired CarPlay to wireless. If your car doesn't currently have Apple CarPlay, this will not add it to your radio.
