About the CRUX ACP-WL Wireless Apple CarPlay® Interface
Go with wireless Apple CarPlay
Go with wireless Apple CarPlay
What makes Apple CarPlay even more convenient? Wireless Apple CarPlay, of course. If you've got a factory radio or an Alpine, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer, or Sony car stereo with 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.
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.

Excellent product!!! It just works!!! Easy to install, basically plug and play. Great now to have my CarPlay work without connecting a cable to my iPhone 12. I have a JVC after market radio in my 2016 VW Tiguan.
