CB6 CarPlay AI Box & Android AI Box - Wireless CarPlay and AndroidAuto

In this review we look at the CB6 CarPlay AI Box & Android AI Box and who will benefit most from it. The CB6 is aimed at drivers who want to convert a wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto infotainment system into a wireless setup, while gaining a full Android environment in the dash. The single biggest reason to buy is its combined feature set: wireless CarPlay/Android Auto conversion plus an external Android 13 platform with built-in 4G LTE and ample storage, which turns many factory or aftermarket stereos into connected, app-capable units.

Key Features

• Wireless connectivity: Converts wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto to a wireless experience so phones connect without a cable while driving.
• Wide compatibility: Works with both factory-installed and aftermarket car stereos that originally have wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto, making it broadly useful across brands.
• Enhanced Android system: Adds Android 13 with 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM for smoother app use, multitasking and additional storage for maps and media.
• Multiple internet options: Supports internet via built-in 4G LTE or Bluetooth tethering, enabling online apps and OTA updates when WiFi is not used for wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.
• Rich software features: Includes DriveChat voice assistant, TrackHU GPS tracking, Bluetooth OBD diagnostics and other expandable apps for car-focused utilities.
• OTA updates and support: Over-the-air system updates and a 12 month plus optional 6 month warranty with online self-service support ensure upkeep and assistance.

Who It's For

This device is best for vehicle owners who have a compatible head unit with wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto and want to avoid running cables every time they get in the car, while also adding Android functionality and internet connectivity. It is useful for those who want in-dash access to apps from Google Play or the included FindApps store and who value features like split-screen and a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant for hands-free interaction.

Drivers who should look elsewhere include people whose head unit does not support wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto at all, and those who expect to rely on local WiFi when using wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, since the CB6 requires 4G LTE or Bluetooth tethering for internet in wireless mode.
