In this video, I check out the Herilary C3 2-in-1 CarPlay Adapter, a kind of hybrid 2-in-1/Ai Box adapter for CarPlay systems. You can currently buy this adapter for £115 or £89.31 using coupon code 9FW8H 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/herilaryc3, on Amazon UK for £99.89 with voucher 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/3EpJO4v, and on Amazon DE for €96.68 with voucher 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/3gkEJlZ.

This C3 mini 2-in-1 adapter features the ability to offer both wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to a CarPlay-enabled factory system, and because it is built on a custom Android 8 closed platform this adapter also allows you to playback YouTube and Netflix content on your CarPlay display too.

The C3 adapter ticks many boxes in what most people want from a CarPlay wireless adapter. It offers both wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the ability to watch videos from YouTube, and Netflix or from an SD card.

If this is all the functionality you seek, then the C3 manages this reasonably well, and all at a price that comes in much lower than most AI Boxes that offer more functionality but in a more complex and janky way.

Being built off a closed platform running a version of Android from 2017, I worry about how long these apps will be supported online. Currently, the Netflix app supports devices running from Android 7, so with the C3 built on Android 8, in time, the Netflix Android app may stop getting updates and connecting to their streaming services might end soon after. The YouTube app still supports Android 4.4, so this app has a longer lifespan on this adapter.

I would say if you want just Android Auto on your CarPlay display, a more basic 2in1 adapter might be all you need, and if you really want to explore and download apps from the Google Play Store and run other alternative video streaming apps on your CarPlay display, then a more costly and open Ai Box much be a better option for you too.

This C3 is trying to position itself in both camps, and I do like this adapter’s simplicity in offering what most people want from a CarPlay adapter and bundling all this into a kind of hybrid 2in1, Ai Box adapter. I am sure we will see more 2in1 hybrids like this release in the future, and if you’re not that tech-savvy, the C3’s closed system keeps you from being overwhelmed with features and opportunities and just gives you all you need on an adapter and does it relatively well.
