New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

[Snowbelt Spyder]

To be clear, I have NOT tested this on a Spyder. Just an FYI if there are any takers out there.
PS. NOT an add-on CarPlay unit. Just eliminates the USB cable for the existing CarPlay function.

There's been a few other posts about wireless adapters for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Since I'm an Apple iPhone user and plug my phone into the USB port in the glove box I have no use for something like that.

Thank you. This accessory plugs into the USB port of the Spyder and eliminates the need for that USB cable by establishing a WiFi link to your phone in place of the cable. I thought some would be interested in eliminating the USB cable if it worked. I searched but wasn’t aware of other posts on the subject.

There's this:

Thread 'Anyone installed this Motorcycle Car Play Unit or similar on 2020+ RT or F3?'

Dec 31, 2023

I was looking at this item on Spyder Extras website and a couple of others and I wanted to check and see if anyone has installed a device like this on their 2020+ RT or F3 and had any luck with it working with the Can Am radio system or if they were only able to install it and have it connected to your helmet?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Happy New Year

No Racoon. This isn’t that add on unit at all. It’s only just 40 bucks. All this unit does is eliminate the need to use a physical cable between your phone and the Spyder, like the one you currently use. A person still uses the built in CarPlay on the Spyder. It’s just a convenience thing if a person wants to stop needing to connect the USB cable. I’d recommend that you actually go to the link I supplied and check it out.
